    I know people have already said Yogi Berra, but none of his memorable quotes have been listed. Here're two of my favorites.

    Having gone to see the opera Tosca at the Metropolitan Opera and being asked what he thought: "I liked it. Even the music was good." :p

    "It's deja vu all over again."

    And another of Steve Spurrier's, responding to a question about 20 library books at Auburn being partially destroyed in a fire:

    "And the real tragedy is 15 of them hadn't been colored in yet."

    so true @ Spurrier

    "What matters...is not the size of the dog in the fight, but of the fight in the dog."

    "If you believe in yourself and have dedication and pride - and never quit, you'll be a winner. The price of victory is high but so are the rewards."

    "I'd like the people to remember me as a winner. Because I ain't ever been nothing but a winner"
    -Bear Bryant

    "We're gonna find out the ones that don't care, and the ones that don't care, they don't wanna be here, and they won't be here, because I don't want them here either aight?"
    -Nick Saban

    "The expectation level is high at the University of Alabama and it should be. What's wrong with people expecting excellence?"
    -Gene Stallings

    "I wish Coach Bryant were here to see this defense play."
    Defensive Coordinator Bill Oliver (on the 1992 national champion defense)

    "Alabama's cornerbacks don't impress me one bit. They're overrated. Real men don't play zone defense and we'll show them a thing or two come January 1."
    Miami Receiver Lamar Thomas before the '93 Sugar Bowl.

    "He literally coached himself to death. He was our greatest coach."
    Former Ohio State head coach Woody Hayes at the funeral for Coach Bryant.

    OU is more of a professional sports conglomerate than a university.
