He has to be categorized as one of the best of all time.

I think that's what coach Walker did when he got here was to make us believe that we're always the underdog. And we've been the underdog a lot. But as far as losing, that doesn't help at all. We need to turn the corner. We need to have a snowball effect with winning, not the other way around.
Sean Kyle
We've been [hearing] it all year. We broke camp knowing no one picked us to do very well during the season. We came out of spring being third or fourth in the polls.

Bill Pullman
I get discouraged when the media call terrorists freedom fighters. They think they are championing the underdog. But terrorists are not the underdog, they are brain-washed killers.
