"If it's worth playing, it's worth paying the price to win." -Paul "Bear" Bryant "Winning is only half of it. Having fun winning is the other half." -Bum Phillips "Once you start keeping score, winning's the bottom line. It's the American concept. If not, it's like playing your Grandmother and even then you try to win-unless she has a lot of money and you want to get some of it." -Al McGuire "I never did say that you can't be a nice guy and win. I said that if I was playing thrird base and my mother rounded third with the winning run, I'd trip her up." -Leo Durocher "There is no such thing as defeat, except when it comes from within. As long as a person doesn't admit he's defeated-he's just a little behind and isn't through fighting." -Darrell Royal "There was never a champion who to himself was a good loser. There's a vast diference between a good sport and a good loser," -Red Blaik "Athletes who make every game a matter of life or death are going to find themselves dead a lot." -Dean Smith "When victory is achieved, that feeling can be overwhelming. Keep your common sense about you, and be gracious. Silence is often the best tactic after a win. If you must talk, praise your opponent, and praise your teammates. Never praise yourself." -John Madden
