Emailed to me today, thought I would share: Football Quotations: "At Georgia Southern, we don't cheat. That costs money and we don't have any." (Erk Russell/Georgia Southern) "After you retire, there's only one big event left…and I ain't ready for that." (Bobby Bowden/Florida State) "When you win, nothing hurts." (Joe Namath/Alabama) "The man who complains about the way the ball bounces is likely to be the one who dropped it." (Lou Holtz/ Arkansas) "If you want to walk the heavenly streets of gold, you gotta know the password, 'Roll, tide, roll!'" (Bear Bryant/Alabama) "If my mother put on a helmet and shoulder pads and a uniform that wasn't the same as the one I was wearing, I'd run over her if she was in my way. And I love my mother." (Bo Jackson) "Winning is not a sometime thing: it's an all the time thing. You don't win once in a while; you don't do the right thing once in a while; you do them right all the time. Winning is a habit. Unfortunately, so is losing." (Vince Lombardi/Green Bay Packers) "There's nothing that cleanses your soul like getting the hell kicked out of you." (Woody Hayes/Ohio State) "I don't expect to win enough games to be put on NCAA probation. I just want to win enough to warrant an investigation." (Bob Devaney/Nebraska) "You can learn more character on the two-yard line than anywhere else in life." (Paul Dietzel/LSU) "It's kind of hard to rally around a math class." (Bear Bryant/Alabama) "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) "I never graduated from Iowa, but I was only there for two terms - Truman's and Eisenhower's." (Alex Karras/Iowa) "Always remember…Goliath was a 40 point favorite over David." (Shug Jordan/Auburn) "I asked Darrell Royal, the coach of the Texas Longhorns, why he didn't recruit me and he said: 'Well, Walt, we took a look at you and you weren't any good.'" (Walt Garrison/ Oklahoma State) "Son, you've got a good engine, but your hands aren't on the steering wheel." (Bobby Bowden/Florida State) "They whipped us like a tied up goat." (Spike Dykes/Texas Tech) "It isn't necessary to see a good tackle. You can hear it." (Knute Rockne/Notre Dame) "We didn't tackle well today but we made up for it by not blocking." (John McKay/USC) "Three things can happen when you throw the ball, and two of them are bad." (Darrell Royal/University of Texas) "I've found that prayers work best when you have big players." (Knute Rockne/Notre Dame) Two players were fighting with one another on the practice field during scrimmage when the coach says to one of them: "Look, I would let you go behind the gym and settle this, but chances are, if he's whipping your butt out here on the field, he'll probably whip your butt behind the gym." (Larry Campbell/Lincoln County)
"Son, you've got a good engine, but your hands aren't on the steering wheel." (Bobby Bowden/Florida State) "There's nothing that cleanses your soul like getting the hell kicked out of you." (Woody Hayes/Ohio State) My favorites from this list.
"There are three things that can happen when you throw the football and two of them are bad". (Wayne Woodrow Hayes/Ohio State) "Why did I go for two, because I couldn't go for three!" (Woody Hayes after an attempted two point conversion try with the score 50-14 over Michigan.
