Does anyone else think that Bruce Feldman looks like subject off of Cops or the Smoking Gun?

I can think of a few other quotes that are not listed. Here are some that are from the SEC or directly related to the SEC, which is clearly superior.

• The Winslow “I’m a fucking soldier”;
• Spurrier’s “can’t spell Citrus without UT;
• Bowden’s “can’t spell Fluffer without UF”;
• Pat Dye’s “I don’t believe Georgia’s man enough to beat Alabama”;
• Herban Meyer as he campaigned for the mighty Gators appearance in the BCC NC “You can’t have two number 1’s, that would be 11”;
• Gator Great Marcus Thomas after being told he was suspended the first time “Woah, I better lay off the peyote!”
• Announcer Gary Danielson on the Big East “Is this college football’s version of Arena Football? These guys need to grow some hair on their peaches.”
• and finally my favorite from the ESPN Gameday Crew explaining why they love the Big East’s Funny Gravy,”Now, due to a binding endorsement contract that stipulates that we mention the Big East Conference at each opening/closing segment, we just like to say that Big East plays on Tuesday/ Wednesday/and Thursdays, on ESPN2, and we’re all looking forward to Louisville/Papa Johns get a large pizza with 3 toppings for 10.99 Thursday Night Specials.”

1. “Sam Cunningham did more to integrate Alabama in 60 minutes than Martin Luther King did in 20 years.”
This hefty quote is about Cunningham, the former USC standout after he ran over a powerhouse all-white Alabama team for 135 yards and two touchdowns in 1970. (The Tide program wasn’t actually all-white at the time since future San Francisco 49er Wilbur Jackson, already had enrolled at Alabama, but back then, freshmen couldn’t play.) Over the years, that MLK line has been attributed to three different men: USC head coach John McKay, Bama head man Bear Bryant and Tide assistant Jerry Claiborne. Most believe it was Claiborne who said it first. The story behind that momentous USC game at Alabama is also being made into a movie.

2. “It’s not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog.”
Who knows where this one first originated, although Ohio State Buckeye legend Archie Griffin, the lone two-time Heisman winner is one of those who gets credit quite a few times in document searches. It’s very fitting too since Griffin was certainly not the biggest or fastest back around; only he was the most productive thanks to his grit and toughness.

3. “Football isn’t a contact sport, it’s a collision sport. Dancing is a contact sport.”
Former Michigan State coach Duffy Daugherty tends to get overshadowed by the great careers of Woody Hayes and Bo Schembechler, but the one-time Time magazine coverman was quite the leader in his own right. Daugherty led MSU to the UPI national title in 1965, but is actually probably better known for his one-liner: “A tie is like kissing your sister.” And he should know since his team was tied by Notre Dame in the 1966 “Game of the Century.” I’m also a fan of this other Daugherty quote: “I could have been a Rhodes Scholar, except for my grades.”

4. “They say I’ve shown courage on the football field, but for me it’s only on the field, and only in the fall. Joey lives with pain all the time. His courage is ’round the clock.”
It’s doubtful any Heisman Trophy acceptance speech will ever be more dramatic than the one Penn State RB John Cappelletti delivered in 1973 while honoring his 11-year-old kid brother Joey, who was back home in Upper Darby, Pa. battling leukemia. As the story goes, Cappelletti had only prepared some notes for his speech earlier in the day and simply wrote “Joey” at the bottom. (Joey kept the Heisman in his bedroom until he died in 1976.) The Cappellettis’ story was turned into a movie called Something for Joey.

5. “He treats us like men. He lets us wear earrings.”
The chaotic John Jenkins Era in college football at Houston was like a cross between the ABA and the XFL, and perhaps former University of Houston WR Torrin Polk summed up the program best in 1991 with this colorful comment.

6. “Dance with the one who brung ya.”
Never has a coach summed up the spirit about not forgetting your identity in a more clever fashion. It was one of dozens of great one liners from perhaps the most quoted man in college football history. Among the great “Royalisms” from legendary Texas coach Darrell Royal: “You just scratch where it itches,” “He’s as quick as a hiccup,” and “We’re as average as every day’s wash.”

7. “You’ve got a payroll to meet.”
Sherwood Blount isn’t famous among college fans, but the old millionaire SMU booster was quoted with the infamous line from a 1985 meeting telling his colleagues that the Mustangs gravy train, despite NCAA sanctions was far from through and that players on the Southern Methodist roster still were owed money. A year later, after there was more trouble, the NCAA came down hard on SMU and gave the Mustangs the death penalty. Blount’s line became the title for David Whitford’s 1989 book on the scandal, “A Payroll to Meet: A Story of Greed, Corruption and Football at SMU.”

8. “Show me a good and gracious loser and I’ll show you a failure.”
One of many Knute Rockne gems, it is one of those clichés that probably sits on some wood carved-tablet on about 500,000 high school coaches’ desks around the country. For that reason I think it tops the famed “Win one for the Gipper speech.”

9. “The only bowl Rutgers is going to is the one I just got off of.”
Former Boston College star QB Glenn Foley, a Cherry Hill, NJ native kicked his home-state school hard after beating the Scarlet Knights 37-20 in 1992. Speaking of the Scarlet Knights, props to RU head coach Greg Schiano for uttering this quip that surely would be a hit at the AFCA meetings: “There are two things every man in America thinks he can do: work a grill and coach football.”

10. “Take this, Pepe!”
Texas Tech head coach Mike Leach said as he recounted his childhood tale about urinating on a neighborhood dog that seemed fond of tormenting Leach, then 10. After Pepe the Golden Lab had peed all over Leach’s tent, the future coach lured the dog with scraps and then snatched his collar and, as Leach is proud to say: “I just fired away,” Leach remembered a few years back. “Pepe didn’t touch my glove or my tent again. Although I’m not sure what that says about animal behavior. Or mine.”
