Cheat Sheet
Whole defense/entire defense -- the greatest assembled defensive unit in college football history
"Pass dis on" -- to demonstrate humility; sharing the spotlight; to pay something forward
"touch dat thang!" -- to bask in the glory of achievement; to acknowledge personal satisfaction
folk - contemporaries and colleagues
"Lehhhgooo!" -- this is very exciting for me, so please commemorate and memorialize this occasion with me - an expression of joy
"We in here" -- Alabama is used to the spotlight, so it shouldn't surprise any of you that we tapped that a**
this defense is built on stopping them -- my friends and I are bad men....very bad men
"that's what we did" -- did you watch the game? I told you we tapped that a**
you know what I'm saying? -- have you been listening at all? I'm expressing how I feel quite explicitly - this interview should conclude so I may destroy other things and crush dreams
We don't want to doubt LSU -- we know that they're mere mortals and, therefore, are inferior to us, so this game was a farce
pretty good team -- insignificant; paling in comparison; not worthy of competition
dominate -- to bludgeon; to maul; to demoralize; scarring beyond recognizance; impregnation

Yeah well, we wanted to come out and show da world dat, you know what I’m saying that we really beat ourselves in the first game. We don’t want to doubt LSU they’re a pretty good team but we wanted to come out and dominate from start to finish and that’s what we did.

He said "4".

Some Alabama fans argue he said, "Touch that thing four." Also, other Alabama fans says he said, "Touch that thing fool." But the fact that we don't know for certain whether Upshaw said "folk", "four", or "fool" somehow makes this even better. After all, great art always requires interpretation. And make no mistake, Upshaw's interview was great art. Like the Lincoln-Douglas debates with shoulder pads.
