Coach Norman Dale


You know, in the ten years that I coached, I never met anybody who wanted to win as badly as I did. I'd do anything I had to do to increase my advantage. Anybody who tried to block the pursuit of that advantage, I'd just push 'em out of the way. Didn't matter who they were, or what they were doing. But that was then. You have special talent, a gift. Not the school's, not the townspeople, not the team's, not Myra Fleener's, not mine. It's yours, to do with what you choose. Because that's what I believe, I can tell you this: I don't care if you play on the team or not.
Coach Norman Dale

Sun don't shine on the same dog's ass everyday, but, mister you ain't seen a ray of light since you got here.

Let's win this game for all the small schools that never had a chance to get here.
