From the press conference:
On whether he's noticed the hype he calls āRat Poisonā this year:
āI canāt really answer that because I havenāt seen the players since the game, but the standard of excellence cannot be affected by outside voices. I mentioned in the opening statement that we need to maintain our standard of excellence. What you did yesterday doesnāt really matter. Itās what you did today.
āItās like climbing a mountain. The higher you get, the more treacherous it can get. This is the best team (in A&M) weāve played.ā
