If the meek are going to inherit the earth, our offensive linemen are going to be land barons. -- Bill Muir, SMU

It's a very interesting game. They have big bears up front and little rabbits in the back. The idea is for the bears to protect the rabbits. -- Viktor Tikonov, Soviet hockey coach

When you came after us at Pearl Harbor, you were on the offense and we were on defense. And when we came after you at Nagasaki, we were on offense and you were on defense. -- Conrad Dobler, explaining football to the Japanese.

They're so friendly. When they hit each other, they pat each other on the bum. But I think it's a bit over the top, all those guys hugging and kissing each other after the score. -- Cera Wynne, Londoner, after watching the Cardinals play the Vikings in England

Cera Wynne was right. The day when teammates started holding hands is the day I told my son that it was okay if he didn't play football. -- Leroy Lizard

Following the Horns 200 loss(63-14) to OU Mack Brown came up with this beauty:Obviously I don't know anything,I actually thought we were going to win this game.

During this same no-contest network announcer Brent Musberger looked at the UT sideline and said:Mack Brown has the look of a puzzled,puzzled man.
