This article is from August, but I thought it'd be fun to post.

I'd never heard a bunch of them, but the last two struck me:

“What are you doing here? Tell me why you are here. If you are not here to win a national championship, you’re in the wrong place. You boys are special. I don’t want my players to be like other students. I want special people. You can learn a lot on the football field that isn’t taught in the home, the church, or the classroom. There are going to be days when you think you’ve got no more to give and then you’re going to give plenty more. You are going to have pride and class. You are going to be very special. You are going to win the national championship for Alabama.”

“If you want to walk the heavenly streets of gold, you gotta know the password, “Roll, Tide, Roll!”



What are your favorite quotes by the Bear?

Mine is "If you have dedication and pride, you never quit or give up, you'll always be a winner; the price of victory is high but so are the rewards!"

 

[BamaFisher]

My favorite is one I quote quite often "I ain't never been nothing but a winner". Simple but solid.

wow, he hit the nail on the head with this one!
“The old lessons (work, self-discipline, sacrifice, teamwork, fighting to achieve) aren’t being taught by many people other than football coaches these days. The football coach has a captive audience and can teach these lessons because the communication lines between himself and his players are more wide open than between kids and parents. We better teach these lessons or else the country’s future population will be made up of a majority of crooks, drug addicts, or people on relief.”
