I went back to Texas Tech last week. The fans were good. I didn't know what to expect. Nobody said anything off the wall or anything like that. I haven't thought about it until this week. I've always had a lot of respect for Oklahoma. It is hard when you're at Oklahoma State to have meaningful relationships with the people who work at the University of Oklahoma, because of the rivalry. I think it's too extreme, but that's just the way it is. So sure, every time we lined up against them when I was at Oklahoma State, I wanted to win, because of how much the game means to the entire state. Having said that, I really like Joe Castiglione, a lot. I've gotten to know him pretty well. I think he's one of the two or three best athletic directors in the country. I've always admired Bob Stoops and the job he's done. Jeff (Capel), I've always respected the way his teams have played. And I've always thought highly of Sherri Coale. It's a bitter rival. One of my best strengths as a coach was tuning things out. All the years I went there as a coach, I'm sure they were saying stuff, but I never heard any of it. We've had a lot of great games over the years. But it's a different situation (today). Looking forward to the game
