A few football quotes for the off-season lull: but first a disclaimer...there were sent to me by a friend. If any are misquoted...blame him...I am not taking the time to verify every one of these! :-) "I make my practices real hard because if a player is a quitter, I want him to quit in practice, not in a game." Bear Bryant-Alabama "At Georgia Southern we don't cheat. That costs money and we don't have any." Eric Russell/GA Southern "The man who complains about the way the ball bounces is likely to be the one who dropped it." Lou Holtz-Notre Dame & Arkansas "When you win nothing hurts" Joe Namath-Alabama "Gentlemen, it is better to have died a small boy than to fumble the football" John Heisman "A school without football is in danger of deteriorating into a medieval study hall." Frank Leahy -Notre Dame "I don't expect to win enough games to be put on probation. I just want to win enough to warrant an investigation." Bob Devaney - Nebraska "in Alabama, an atheist is someone who doesn't believe in Bear Bryant." Wally Butts - Georgia "Always remember Goliath was a 40 point favorite over David." Shug Jordan - Auburn My favorite..... "I asked Darrell Royal, the coach of the Texas Linghorns, why he didn't recruit me. He said, Well, Walt, we took a look at you, and you weren't any good." .... Ha! Oklahoma State and the Dallas Cowboys beg to differ! "Son, you've got a good engine, but your hands are not on the steering wheel." Bobby Bowden -Florida State " If lessons are learned in defeat, our team is getting a great education." Murray Warmath -Minnesota "The only qualifications for a lineman are to be big and dumb. To be a back, you just have to be dumb." Knute Rockne - Notre Dame "We didn't tackle well today, but we made up for it by not blocking." John McKay - USC OK....a little off season football humor...enjoy and Go Mean Green!
