This is a collection of the most memorable college football quotes from Down South. We're talking SEC Country, folks. Legendary coaches like Paul "Bear" Bryant, Steve Spurrier, Les Miles, John Heisman, General Robert Neyland, Lou Holtz, Gene Stallings and Shug Jordan all make numerous appearances with their timeless words of wisdom and classic quips. "The Most Memorable Quotes in SEC Football History" also includes quotes from unforgettable players like Peyton Manning, Bo Jackson, Joe Namath and Tim Tebow, along with hilarious one-liners from media personalities like Charles Barkley, Frank DeFord, Brent Musberger and Beano Cook. As a bonus, this book also includes a few Bobby Bowden quotes ('cause even through Florida State isn't in the SEC, everyone who loves college football in the South will enjoy a couple homespun one-liners from Coach Bowden).Sample quotes from "The Most Memorable Quotes in SEC Football History": “The national championship trophy has been in the South so long it has a sunburn.”- Ray Glier, Atlanta-based national journalist and Author“I don't know when exactly the SEC took over America. I know this is hard to believe, but the epicenter of college football used to be in the Midwest. I'm so old, I can remember when Notre Dame actually mattered, and the real tough players were supposed to come from Western Pennsylvania and Ohio.”- Sports Illustrated columnist and NPR contributor Frank Deford in 2012“Football mania is still intensifying throughout the South. … Though football is a national game, the ability to play it well is inordinately concentrated in the South.”- John F. Rooney Jr., Oklahoma State professor and author of Geography of Sports“It's easier to win the national championship than the SEC. Ask Nick Saban.” - Former Florida & current South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier“In the East, college football is a cultural exercise. On the West Coast, it is a tourist attraction. In the Midwest, it is cannibalism. But in the South, college football is a religion, and every Saturday is a holy day.”- Marino Casem, Alcorn State University professor“The SEC is a downhill, man on man game, and you gotta line up and play.”- Florida coach Will Muschamp“They got a little bit different athlete running around out there. Look at their defensive linemen. Standing next to them, walking off the field, they don’t look like a lot of the guys we see. That’s the common trait.” - Former Oregon and current Philadelphia Eagles coach Chip Kelly“If you are a fan of Tennessee or Alabama football there are two rules to live by: Don't get married on the third Saturday in October, and try not to die… because in either case, the preacher might not show.”- ESPN college football expert Beano Cook“The girls are prettier, the air is fresher, and the toilet paper's thicker.”- Missouri wide receiver T.J. Moe, when asked about the Tigers moving from the Big 12 to the Southeastern Conference and what he'd heard about the SEC.“Well, the Southeastern Conference season has begun. I have it on good authority that other college football teams around the country will also be playing games this fall.”- Sports Illustrated columnist and NPR contributor Frank Deford in 2012“I wish I could say that I went in and ran for the winning touchdown, but I did not. I simply stood by in case my team needed me.”- E. King Gill, the legendary symbol of the ‘Twelfth Man’ tradition at Texas A&M. “Our fans, to say that they are excited about us being in the SEC would be a complete understatement. They’ve become fanatical about it.”– Missouri coach Gary Pinkel on the Tigers’ inaugural season in the SEC“The game demonstrated the superiority of the Southern teams over any aggregation that the damn yankees could send across the Mason and Dixon Line.” - Philadelphia Bulletin sportswriter Charles Israel writing about Alabama's dominating 61-6 win over Syracuse in the 1953 Orange Bowl.
