quote:

the best one ever
In the '60s Don Hoak was manging a minor league team about to play in the Minor League World Series. Just before the big game he entered the clubhouse and addressed his team.

He raised his arm, holding his thumb and forefinger about a quarter of an inch apart.

"Boys", he said, "I just want to remind you -- you're only this far away from major league pussy."

May not be very popular, but Payne Stewart to Phil Mickelson after denying Phil of his elusive US Open:

"There's nothing like being a father.."

He knew there was more to life than the US Open.

Bobby Knight, in a post practice interview with a reporter, when the reporter asks if they had practiced shooting after a particularly dreadful night of shooting in the previous game:
"No. No, we didn't even think about shooting. We practiced our entrances and exits from the arena and called it a day."

When speaking of his patented "head slap" move when firing off the line and slapping an offensive lineman in the ear hole to distract them:

"Anytime you go upside a man's head - or a woman - then they have a tendency to blink they eyes. Or close they eyes." - Deacon Jones

Now, let's analyze what's been working for us.

NOT A GOD DAMN THING'S been working for us. Like this goddamn suit doesn't work for me... and this stinking tie... and this goddamned shirt.

IT DOESN'T WORK FOR ME. YOU KNOW HOW TO PLAY WINNING HARD-NOSED FOOTBALL? YOU PLAY FOOTBALL LIKE ED GENERRO PLAYED FOOTBALL. A guy who gave his life for this football team. He was a 140-pound halfback, and HE PLAYED LIKE A GODDAMN WILDMAN! NO! LIKE A GODDAMN RAMPAGING BEAST!

And that's the way you got to do it! YOU GO OUT THERE! YOU TEAR THEIR frickING HEADS OFF, AND YOU shite DOWN THEIR NECKS!

Let us pray.

-Coach Rig from Necessary Roughness

Another one from John McKay...

A reporter told McKay that his kicker, Pete Rajceki, was nervous when kicking in front of the coach at training camp, to which McKay replied "I don't think he has much of a future here because I plan to attend all of the games".

And apparently he didn't like the town of Green Bay much...

"If a contest had 97 prizes, the 98th would be a trip to Green Bay."

Spurrier on UGA

“I don’t know. I sort of always liked playing them that second game because you could always count on them having two or three key players suspended.”


When asked in he preseason if they were going to extend the UGA win streak

"Is Ray Goff still coaching there?”
