(ISO) Famous quotes from Michigan Football
I asked Dr Sapp and we could not find it (I also spent part of my day on his youtube channel trying to see if I could find it).
I tried google but - No luck.
Maybe you guy will be able to give me the exact quotes and details.
I am looking for that Coach (Bo?) response to the question "Do you have a good class this year?" and the answer was something like "Come ask in Twenty and only I will be able to answer that question".
Anyone? Source? You are all lovely.

Scroll down a little bit in this column. It was a Jerry Hanlon quote.
February 18th, 2021 at 3:55 PM ^
Thank you so much.
February 18th, 2021 at 4:00 PM ^
I was able to find the more develop one:
"We won’t know how good this football team will be until 15, 20, 25, 30 years from now (...) and we know what kind of men you are, and we know what kind of husbands you become, what kind of fathers you become, then we'll know how good this football team is."
February 18th, 2021 at 6:05 PM ^
Isn't saying father and husband kind of redundant?
February 18th, 2021 at 6:09 PM ^
Whether my wife thinks I'm a good husband and whether my kids think I am a good father are two different inquiries of two different audiences. I would agree that being a good husband is part of being a good father and being a good father is part of being a good husband.

Damn it man. Killing my incest joke.
February 18th, 2021 at 6:14 PM ^
Bury it deep.
February 18th, 2021 at 6:29 PM ^
Pretty funny how you had it twisted around, remembering it as if only Bo would know the answer to the question.

Hah. One of my favorites.
My daughter is well appreciated by her friends parents because she uncorks that line in front of them on a regular basis. It was my repeated warning to her in high school and college. I don't think she takes it as seriously as I do.
February 18th, 2021 at 3:53 PM ^
It looks like the other guy already found a source, but I could have sworn I remember reading that quote in one of Bacon's books, probably Bo's Lasting Lessons.
February 18th, 2021 at 3:55 PM ^
Yes it is indeed in that book - But it was going to be my last resort either to email Jean or to read the book.
February 18th, 2021 at 6:05 PM ^
Another Bo quote I always loved, in the days when the product was bigger than TV money, "Toe meets leather at 1:05. If you want to televise it, fine. If you don’t, that’s fine too."

It took coaches longer than most to realize who runs the show in CFB.
February 18th, 2021 at 4:01 PM ^
Funny, I thought the answer to the question was "i got a fuck lion now come fuck wit me"
February 18th, 2021 at 4:34 PM ^
I'd take another 2-4 season if it came with goat quotes and the next Denard at the helm.

"That's not an 'I love you' lemur, that's a 'fuck you' lemur".

"Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."
- Michigan Fan
February 18th, 2021 at 4:49 PM ^
I've always hated this quote; isn't that also the definition of "practice"?
February 18th, 2021 at 5:01 PM ^
Maybe . . . but the key question is what are your results? If you (and the team) is getting better than by all means keep doing the same thing at practice. If not then you may need to change things. Of course in team sports you can practice the same, improve, but still lose to superior talent. At that point you may want to apply the quote to your talent acquisition process.
February 19th, 2021 at 10:02 AM ^
Couldn't agree more. Also, it's not the definition of insanity.

One of my favorite Michigan football quotes went something like:
A disgruntled Joe Milton telling teammates during the Rutgers game “he was transferring out and will drop 50 on Jim Harbaugh and Michigan.”
February 18th, 2021 at 4:22 PM ^
Wouldn't put it past him
February 18th, 2021 at 4:23 PM ^
"To Hell With Notre Dame!!!"

I don't know but your username made me think of this
February 18th, 2021 at 8:06 PM ^
I am unsure. Really unsure.
February 18th, 2021 at 4:39 PM ^
Dear Frenchy, thanks for the question reminding us of the wonderful and wise quotation.
February 18th, 2021 at 8:06 PM ^
You are welcome. It is linked to my documentary project about Michigan Football.

Legendary Mad Magician Bob Chappuis, on his experience in WWII, parachuting from his dying B-25 behind enemy lines in Italy in 1945:
"Everyone called us heroes, but what idiot wouldn't jump out of a burning plane?"

This isn’t what you’re looking for, but one of my favorite Michigan quotes is from Fritz Crisler—I think it’s as applicable today as it was back in the 1940s:
”Offense is poise; defense is frenzy.”

“Fuck ‘em, if they can’t take a joke.”
Me - as a UM Graduate School GA, after making a joke in class about the stuffy faculty and their old-ass way of doing things (circa 1990)

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way when you criticize them, you are a mile away from them and you have their shoes.

"The arc of the moral universe is long but it bends towards Michigan Football" -MLK. Important to keep in mind during our decades long struggle losing to OSU
February 18th, 2021 at 7:27 PM ^
Here's a quote (with some paraphrasing) that still haunts Michigan football:
"You need to establish the run."
Here's another:
"When you throw a pass, three things can happen. Two of them are bad."
Oh, and:
"Our goal is to win the Big Ten championship." (It was strongly implied that nothing mattered beyond that.)
February 18th, 2021 at 8:41 PM ^
I never understood the pass quote. A fumble or loss of yards on a running play seem like bad things to me.
