Mike Slive, SEC Commissioner
“Why are we still doing this in Hoover, Alabama? Do you guys realize how much money we make? We could afford to do this on Pandora, the mythical land from Avatar, and we do this in Hoover? At the very least Charleston.”
Nick Saban, Head Coach, Alabama
“This season will be really exciting… Hold on, (Pulls out phone, makes fake ringing sound, steps a few feet away from the mic) Hello: Oh, hello Jerry Jones of the Dallas Cowboys (Holds back laughter). What? You want to pay me $9 million a year? That’s interesting. I’ll get back to you. (Hangs up phone. Giggles, and tells reporters to wait one second… Phone rings for real). Oh, hello, Athletic Director Battle. What’s that? You want to give me a raise up to $10 million a year? Well, sure, I’ll take it and yes, I’m committed to the University of Alabama. (Hangs up). It’s that easy, Folks.”
“The only thing I’ll miss about AJ McCarron is his girlfriend and his mom. Otherwise he was always a little too much of a cryer for my tastes.”
“I’m trying to see if there is anything I can’t do at this point. That’s how Lane Kiffin happened. I was on a private space flight with Richard Branson, Gates and some oil guy from Kuwait, anyway, they dared me to hire Lane, just to see if anyone at Alabama would even bat an eye or tell me no. So I tried it and here he is. After he got here I’ve realized why he’s failed everywhere he’s gone. He’s a total clown. So yeah, looking back it wasn’t the smartest move. These are the consequences of unmitigated power.”
Mark Richt, Head Coach, Georgia
“Here’s an interesting fact about last season: we didn’t have one 3rd down, on offense or defense, in which a Georgia player didn’t tear his ACL. Look it up.”
“I was told the more arrests you have the better off your championship odds will be. It worked for Urban and Les. I’m yet to see those kind of results. Probably because I kick these guys off… I should probably stop doing that.”
