20 Quotes by Rick Byrd

We've never backed down from who we've played in the whole time we've been in Division I. We've played a lot of good teams. We've lost by 40 and 50 a couple of times.

I don't go on stage, and he doesn't come into the locker room.

He hadn't had any hits and I hadn't won many games. I was really happy when he got to be a big star because then I'd get on the bus and he'd go to a town and we'd always play the best golf course in the morning and he'd do the show at night.

We're only four practices in, but I was hoping wed be further along than we are right now offensively.

I suspect that they will think about doing both. For us, with Boomer (Herndon), they put Hollins behind him and Boomer couldn't score through him at all.

I think we have better national anthems than most schools.

Playing better teams makes you better. You might lose, but you'll be better for it.

We became friends before I'd won many games and before he'd had many hits.
