Or:

Coach John McKay was full of good quotes. After a loss, Tampa Reporters were grilling him about his game plan.

McKay says, "You guys wouldn't know a football from a banana." So the Reporters had a bunch of bananas delivered to Coach's Office.

After the next week's loss, McKay says, "You guys wouldn't know a football from a Mercedes Benz."

We can't win at home, and we can't win on the road, so we're going to ask to play at a neutral site.

We didn't block very well today, but we made up for it by not tackling.

Mark Twain is absolutely hysterical. His quotes and bits of wisdom are innumerable and timeless.

One that I live by is "I have never let my schooling interfere with my education."
