Transcript from "Closing Thoughts"

Coach Magill…

Well, I could talk forever. There are so many people I haven't named at Georgia. So many people.

I was going to say, we're going to have to do a part two sometime.

Well, I'd love to do it, because I can talk forever on. But I have learned what it takes to win in athletics. You've got to get the horses to win the race. You've got to have the materials. You've got to have coaches that do more good than harm. It's the horses that win the race, not the coaches. Coaches that do more good than harm are all right. Thirdly, you've got to be lucky. You've got to get the breaks, don't have your good players hurt, put in jail, or flunking out, and then it also helps a lot if who you're playing's best player is hurt. (laughter)Those are the things it takes to win.

Those might be great words of wisdom to end on today.

All right.
