The best thing about high school football in the state of Texas is the whole town shuts down, and there's shoe polish all over businesses and stores. Everyone rallies around you.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If you're going to play high school football, you do it in Texas or Florida or Georgia for the simple fact it's such a big deal.
I grew up in Texas, obviously a huge football state.
I grew up half the time in a small town called Mart, Texas, and half the time in L.A., because I was acting. My high school was crazy about football.
The tradition you have at the University of Texas is like no other. It helped me in the future where I got to play in 2 cities that were rich in tradition.
I knew more about Texas than the Texans and when they told me I would find summer here I smiled knowingly.
I always had that adolescent notion that I had to get out of Texas. But I'm really glad I grew up there. It's where I learned to look people in the eye, to be straightforward and polite.
Some of the most innovative things in football I see at high school games. It's not the play - it's when you run it. The right time.
Even at North Dakota State, football is a big deal.
First of all, I'm so glad that the city of Houston has a football team again. They have such great fans. I'm really happy for the people of Houston because they deserve a football team.
I don't think people can watch University of Texas basketball or football games with me - really, anything Texas is playing - without wanting to punch me in the face. I'm as big a Longhorn fan as you'll find.
