December 15, 200916 yr Freshman basketball coach from high school halftime talk. We jumped out to a 22-6 lead in the 1st and proceeded to turn the ball over 12 times in the second quarter to go down 26-24 at half. "You all baked a beautiful pie in the first quarter and then took a huge dump right in the middle of it in the second..." A few of his other favorites, "Your shot release is so slow you could time it with a sundial." "I have seen milk turn to cheese faster than you run." "Better pull that horseshoe out of your back pocket and kiss it" (after any kind of lucky play, typically an unintentional bank shot)
December 15, 200916 yr Bob Eucker was doing the World Series with Bob Costas and Joe Morgan. Discussion began about winning the World Series and the rings that come with it. Costas: Joe, you wear your Reds rings don't you? Morgan: Yes, all the time. Costas: Bob, didn't you get a ring when you were with the Cardinals when they won it in '64? Eucker: Yes. And 6 more payments, that baby is mine! :lol: (May have misspelled Eucker)

December 15, 200916 yr "These first three years was a transitional year for him." - Emmitt Smith "If you want to stay perfect, you cannot go undefeated with a blemish on your record." - Emmitt Smith "Steve Slaton is the type of running back who makes plays with his legs." - Emmitt Smith "The leadership definitely have to come from the leaders." - Emmitt Smith "You cannot change the stripes of a leopard." - Emmitt Smith "I think it's his self-confidence in himself that make him so confident when it get down into the crunch time." - Emmitt Smith "They started 6-2. Now, they're 6-3." - Emmitt Smith :lol::lol::lol::lol:
December 15, 200916 yr "I thought we'd lost it already. Then I looked down and saw Jimmy Boeheim sitting on the other bench and I knew we had a shot." -Bob Knight After being asked why he went for a two-point conversion late in the fourth quarter with a big lead against Michigan: "Because they wouldn't let me go for three." -Woody Hayes When did he say this? He said this exact same thing in the late 70s/early 80s about Dale Brown. Are you sure he said it about Boeheim as well? That was my thought as well. I remember when he said it about Dale Brown, but I don't remember him saying it about Boeheim. I'm pretty sure he said it during the 90's though. It was when Shaq played for LSU.
December 15, 200916 yr That was my thought as well. I remember when he said it about Dale Brown, but I don't remember him saying it about Boeheim. I'm pretty sure he said it during the 90's though. It was when Shaq played for LSU. I just looked it up. It was during the 1987 NCCAA tournament. "I was worried about losing until I looked down the floor and saw Dale Brown. Then I knew we had a chance." -Commenting on that stormy 1987 game with LSU

During a contract holdout with Oakland in the early 1990s, Henderson said, “If they want to pay me like Mike Gallego, I’ll play like Gallego.”
