Skip Bertman to Paul Byrd... The quote "Hey Byrd, this is not your fault, see, it's my fault. I shoulda never have recruited ya" is from Skip Bertman, the legendary LSU baseball coach, during a conversation with pitcher Paul Byrd.

You have no affiliation to the school….
Sure he does. He’s the epitome of Bama fans. Never been inside a classroom there but feels some type of kinship with the institution. Plus, can’t seem to get LSU off his mind.

“Starkville is an old Indian word for trailer park.” “A tornado once went through and did a million dollars worth of improvements.”
-Skip Bertman
Not an LSU guy, but Spurrier had some absolute gems. When the library burned at Auburn he said “the real tragedy was that several of those books still hadn’t been colored, yet.”

A parent of a recruit once asked Wimp Sanderson how many of his payers had graduated. He said, "every one that wanted to."

Story goes, and I paraphrase, while in Greece, Shaq was asked if he went to the Parthenon. He said they went to all the clubs!
Might be urban legend, but sounds like him!

Charles Barkley and Shaq should have a thread of statements alone.

If you’re going to quote Spurrier it has to be “you can’t spell Citrus without UT”.

LSU first president posted-
January 18, 1861. To Governor Moore.
My dear Sir: I take it for granted that you have been expecting for some days the accompanying paper from me (the above official letter). I have repeatedly and again made known to General Graham and Dr. Smith that, in the event of a severance of the relations hitherto existing between the Confederated States of this Union, I would be forced to choose the old Union. It is barely possible all the States may secede, South and North, that new combinations may result, but this process will be one of time and uncertainty, and I cannot with my opinions await the subsequent development.
I have never been a politician, and therefore undervalue the excited feelings and opinions of present rulers, but I do think, if this people cannot execute a form of government like the present, that a worse one will result.
I will keep the cadets as quiet as possible. They are nervous, but I think the interest of the State requires them here, guarding this property, and acquiring a knowledge which will be useful to your State in aftertimes.
When I leave, which I now regard as certain, the present professors can manage well enough, to afford you leisure time to find a suitable successor to me. You might order Major Smith to receipt for the arms, and to exercise military command, while the academic exercises could go on under the board. In time, some gentleman will turn up, better qualified than I am, to carry on the seminary to its ultimate point of success. I entertain the kindest feelings toward all, and would leave the State with much regret; only in great events we must choose, one way or the other.
Truly, your friend,
W. T. Sherman.

From a player...
Greg Pruitt was once asked by a reporter if him being so short caused him problems running with the football...
He responded.... "Not really... I tell my linemen to make the holes wide instead of tall."
