“I can say this disaster was not as a result of any corporate sin, ... I firmly believe that is not the way God operates today. If you look at the giving of the son (Jesus) and the sacrifice placed there he says, 'I died for sin, once and for all,' not just for all time, but for all people and all sins. Things are different post-Christ. After we see the giving, receiving and resurrection of Christ, there's nothing in the New Testament that leads me to believe this is punishment.”
“Much of our business comes from loggers, ... We open at five in the morning and they are ready to get started before most people have even gotten up.”
“It was just as close to Castleberry as it was to W.S. Neal and Castleberry had a very good basketball coach, ... I was into sports and loved basketball. They didn't have a football team. I was an above average student in a class of 19. I was able to get an academic scholarship to Jefferson Davis Junior College when I graduated in 1970.”
“He is like the sheep dog in the cartoons, ... Guarding the goats is his job and that is all he cares about. He doesn't want to lick you on the hand; he just wants to be left alone to do his job.”
“That's OK. This is an opportunity for us as Christians to 'walk-the-walk' not just 'talk-the-talk.' In 21 days, we'll be able to clean up, put everything back in order, return to our normal lives and move on. What are these people going to do? Many of them have lost everything. Some have lost homes or loved ones. What is our discomfort compared to what they're going through?”
“Last time, I don't think we had more than half a dozen people who were real refugees. We had more Texas National Guard here than flood victims. Now, it looks like we're going to have almost 200 by tonight.”
“Other than a long, 12-play drive, that was exactly what we needed. That gave us all the momentum and our defense seemed to feed off of it. That play changed the whole course of the game.”
“I think the rivalry was there the whole time and it is played that way. We came out and played hard, but they happened to be a lot better than us (Saturday).”
“I don't think either team knows exactly where we stand because of the schedules we have played. What I do know is the two teams are completely different from any that have played each other in the past.”
