I ain't won but one. My team won the rest in spite of me.
Bear Bryant
Image
I ain't never had much fun. I ain't never been two inches away from a football. Here guys go fishing on the day of the game, hunting, golfing, and all I want to do is be alone, studying how not to lose.
Bear Bryant

Sacrifice. Work. Self-discipline. I teach these things, and my boys don't forget them when they leave.
Bear Bryant
Image
If you don't learn anything but self discipline, then athletics is worthwhile.
Bear Bryant
Image
You must learn how to hold a team together. You must lift some men up, calm others down, until finally they've got one heartbeat. Then you've got yourself a team.

Losing doesn't make me want to quit. It makes me want to fight that much harder.
