“I love college football. I've been involved with college football since 1953. That's a long time as a player, coach and 30 years in television.”

“Bo Schembechler will go down in history as the greatest football coach. He knows the game, he works hard. And he's not a crook.”

“This job is like stealing. I travel first class in a nice plane. I have a driver waiting for me. I go in a room and have room service. I have a meeting. Then I go to the best game of the weekend and talk football - and they pay me.”

“I have a soft spot for Iowa.”

“It takes at least three years of quality and successful season play before a team can garner preseason respect.”

“I'm going to pick the team I believe will win, regardless of where we are.”

“It'll be up to ESPN when I leave. And when ESPN says they're going to move in another direction, I'll say, 'Thank you very much. It's been a great run.' Because it has.”

“I represent college football and have been doing it for 26 years. It's a great thrill.”

“I reflect on my 30 years at ESPN and continue to count my blessings each time I walk on the 'College Gameday' set.”

“My involvement with the USFL began in the broadcast booth before I ever coached a game in the league.”

“Bill Murray made the headlines by throwing me down and stomped me on the set with Clemson.”

“The bigger, stronger, faster and meaner my players are, the better I coach.”

“And I love the Oregon Duck. He's my favorite mascot.”

“I was almost as famous at Indiana for my television shows as I was my coaching. That's kind of embarrassing when you think about it.”

“I'm not a conformist.”

“Randy Moss was a fad. People were looking for some way to vote against Peyton Manning.”

“I don't have anything against long hair. I've known some crew-cut bums.”

“There is no question that Notre Dame has the best, biggest and finest name in college football.”

“I judge a man by the way he treats people who don't count. Woody Hayes was nice to a lot of people he couldn't ever use.”

“Words don't go from the brain to the lips in time. That's what a stroke does to you... and that hurts me.”
