Matt: There's this new freshmen this year and everyone think he's the next Peyton Manning or something, so I got replaced.
Shelby: Oh Matt, I'm sorry. You don't deserve that.
Matt: I didn't really deserve the job in the first place. The only reason I was starting is 'cause our quarterback, Jason Street, he got paralyzed in the middle of a game.
Shelby: Oh my god.
Matt: Yeah, it was pretty horrible. You know, they needed me and I stepped up, and I worked my ass off and I did everything I could, you know? But I guess it just wasn't really enough.
Shelby: It sounds like you did a great job...ever think about just taking a break?
Matt: You can't quit the team.
Shelby: Why, what would they do? Shoot you?
Matt: Probably. We do live in Texas.
