"Could be nutmeg. Nightmarish visions might be better than the nightlife in Oxford... it's the sailor's LSD." — Spencer Hall on what the smoke might've been in Laremy Tunsil's gas mask

"Give every man thine ear, but few thy voice" is basically the old-timey [version] of "long time listener, first time caller" anyway. — Jarvorskie Layne's

Steve Spurrier on Dabo Swinney’s “He’s from Pluto, I’m from Mars” quote: “Dabo still thinks there are 9 planets out there" — @McMurphyESPN, July 22, 2014

Uncle Bob's the best. He was the one who decades ago showed us our first soccer matches, always genial, always nudging us toward the beautiful game one rarely broadcasted game at a time. And there he is now that we're all full-blown fans, nodding and smiling on the television as Euro 2012 is shown all day on ESPN, silently beaming and looking at you saying: I told you so. — Spencer Hall

At times one remains faithful to a cause only because its opponents do not cease to be insipid. — Nietzsche

Interviewer: How cerebral is Les Miles?
Les Miles: I don't really know.

Our offense is built to crush the will of opposing defenses, particularly late in the game. I can think of a half dozen instances where defenders who were formidable in the first half turned to jelly in the third and fourth quarters and were easier to block than our scout team. It's a glorious feeling - a realization of checkmate - and it always gave me a second wind. After that, finishing them off is largely a formality. — Sean Bedford

College football is not popular because of the stars. College football is popular because of that first word. Take away the college part, add in money, and you are left with professional minor league football and a developmental basketball league. See how many people go watch that. — Joe Posnanski

[The NFL is] like boxing. When you watch two heavyweights box, you generally end up with a man-hug borefest with two fat slobs flailing around and groping one another for ten rounds. It's not exciting. The NFL is the same way. Both teams are a lot better than the college teams, even if they suck hard like Lions. But they also know it, play conservatively, and just bump around all game hugging each other. — Allen Kaholic

Certainly, we were penalties, and we stopped ourselves. — Les Miles, feeling particularly zen after the West Virginia game

"[San Jose State] is simply awful" - gtrw
"Guys who can play rush defense obviously don't know the way there." - gthog61

I like how Kam Chancellor knows who is going to get the ball in the option even before Nesbitt does. The ability to see into the future explains the success of Beamer’s defenses. — gtne91

Is it safe to say that 75% of the football threads that are started end up somehow back to another ole Ball n' Chan discussion[?] — killerbuzz42

Thanks for the link to O'Leary's resume. Interesting read. I had no idea he was the head coach of the 1972 Miami Dolphins. — GiveEmHellJackets

The simile: Reggie Ball : Georgia as Agrajag : Arthur Dent. — Spencer Hall

The poster forgot to mention that at UGA the "CS" department is "Cattle Science". That the student lives in a barn should not be shocking given that it is highly likely he was raised in one. — George P. Burdell
