On UGA’s recruiting: “Why is it that during recruiting season they sign all the great players, but when it comes time to play the game, we have all the great players? I don’t understand that. What happens to them?”

On playing UGA early in the season: “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.”

Forgot a good one from Norwood. A reporter asked him if he was afraid of getting his “bird” legs hurt. He replied, “they can’t break what they can’t catch.”

Back in the 1950s, Texas Aggie Bear Bryant was asked why he thought Texas always seemed to play so well against A&M. Without hesitation, Texas Aggie Bryant replied, "They just seem to hate us more than we hate them."

Reporter to Pat Dye: "Coach, how long do you think it will take you to beat Alabama?"

Pat Dye: "60 minutes."

Before the 1968 A&M game, Texas Captain Bill Bradley was asked when Texas won the toss if they wanted to take the ball or if they wanted to choose to defend a particular goal.

Bradley's response: "We don't give a shite".

When Woody Hayes was asked why he went for two against Michigan when Ohio State took a 50-14 lead late in the 4Q he responded by saying. "Because I couldn't go for three"

SIAP....

Coupla from legendary UGA DC Erk Russell who later started Georgia Southern's Football program and won several 1AA NC's.

These are while still at UGA.

Derek Dooley out of pure comedic value. In the wake of an abortion of a game against Saban, The man actually impersonated the Germans at D-Day. Even then the comparison was overly flattering we really looked more like the Italians that night…

Spurrier quotes would fill this thread themselves, given a chance. Some good ones:

Re Auburn's library fire: " The real tragedy is that 15 [books in library] hadn't been colored in yet"

Re Tennessee: "You can't spell Citrus [Citrus bowl smack] without U-T".

Re LSU stadium: "There's two of them. That's right. There's two Death Valleys".
