There's nothing in this world that comes easy. There are a lot of people who aren't going to bother to win. We learn in football to get up and go once more.
Woody Hayes
Image
The only thing even in this world is the number of hours in a day. The difference in winning or losing is what you do with those hours.
Woody Hayes
Image
The only way we'd get beaten was if we got a little fat-headed, if we didn't train right, if we had dissension on the squad.
Woody Hayes

Because I couldn't go for three.
Woody Hayes

The five big mistakes in football are the fumble, the interception, the penalty, the badly called play, the blocked punt—and most of these originate with the quarterback. Find a mistake-proof quarterback and you have this game won.

I don't like nice people. I like tough, honest people.
