That costs money, and we don't have any."Erk Russell / Georgia Southern "The man who complains about the way the ball bounces is likely to be the one who dropped it." Lou Holtz / Arkansas - Norte Dame "When you win, nothing hurts." Joe Namath / Alabama "A school without football is in danger of deteriorating into a medieval study hall." Frank Leahy / Notre Dame 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.

Tell Sackett SASS 18436 Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 My favorite, although I didn't see it(just read about it),was from Momday Night Football(I beleieve). Not sure who really said what, so I'll write it the way it OUGHT to be, IMO: A running back broke through the line of scrimmage and was on his way to a touchdown: Howard Cosell: "Nobody's going to catch him now!" Dandy Don Meredith: "Here comes nobody", as the running back was caught and tackled from behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramblin Gambler Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Darrel Royal used to say "It aint braggin if it's true" And I think Vince Lombardi said: "A man's most proudest moment is when he's fought his heart out for a cause, and afterwards, lies there on the field of battle. Exhausted, but victorious" Or something close to that. I don't feel like googling it up right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheyenne Ranger, 48747L Posted December 11, 2018 Author Share Posted December 11, 2018 I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle - victorious.

Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 My daughter had a high school friend 6'6" and 328 pounds. Coach Reno asked him why he didn't want to try out for the football team and the kid told him that it was stupid game: 22 guys on a field and they give one the ball and the other 22 beat the hell out of him and try to take it away. Also said he didn't want to hurt anyone and at his size it was really hard not to. He had two brothers his size and twin sisters who were about 6'2". Gorgeous girls, but SCARY!

DocWard Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 More Woody Hayes quotes: "I may not be able to outsmart too many people, but I can outwork 'em." "Football is, after all, a wonderful way to get rid of your aggressions without going to jail for it." "Nobody despises to lose more than I do. That's got me into trouble over the years, but it also made a man of mediocre ability into a pretty good coach." Walter Payton quotes: "Never die easy. Why run out of bounds and die easy? Make that linebacker pay. It carries into all facets of your life. It's okay to lose, to die, but don't die without trying, without giving it your best." "If I'm going to get hit, why let the guy who's going to hit me get the easiest and best shot? I explode into the guy who's trying to tackle me."
