Quotebag From Outback Bowl
http://www.mlive.com/wolverines/index.ssf/2013/01/sound_bites_memorable_quotes_f.html
Kyle Meinke serves up a nice bag o' soundbites from the Outback Bowl. He did a great job picking out quotes. My two favorites?
"If you look at him from the back, he definitely looks like a very strong woman. He has very pretty hair." -- Defensive end Craig Roh, on linebacker Jake Ryan.
"It's hard out here. I done fought two sharks, wrestled a sting ray, ate two crabs -- had butter out there. It's hard out here, but you know how we do it. I'm from Detroit. You know, it was nothing. Two great whites, punched a whale in the face -- easy day. Go Blue." -- Defensive tackle Will Campbell, speaking with MGoBlue about a trip to the beach. [Saw this one on MGoBlue.com, but it's even better in print.]
Gonna miss Team 133!
The article has many more funny and interesting quotes, predominantly from Michigan but with a bit of Gamecockery sprinkled in. Credit to Meinke for having a good ear for this stuff.
[Ed. Fixed erroneous references to "Citrus Bowl"]

The Citrus Bowl is the one in Orlando. We played in Tampa, in the game formerly known as the Hall of Fame Bowl.

Fixed - thanks. I was working off of memory, and botched that one. I'm not a fan of the [Restaurant] Bowl branding, but i suppose if I want to go "old school" I ought to at least get it right.
Forgive me, and check out the quotes anyway!

it isn't like names have changed, or anyone has released a ful table containing apt/alternate names for the ones that exist now.

The banner next year should have some qoute involving "pretty hair".

So what did the Nebraska players have to say about their Citrus Bowl experience?
If you're going to include the wrong name of the bowl in the title, can you at least make it the Rose Bowl?

Thanks for the heads-up.

It reminds me of the of the following from Homer Simpson:
And on my free African Safari I want to do everything on this box! I want to shoot a Lion in the face, fight Muhammed Ali, and ride in a convertable with two happy zebras.

funny, especially if you hadn't see the Will Campbell quote here before.

SOMEBODY CALL THE INTERNET POLICE... the wording and formatting of your BWC quote looks an awful lot like mine from last week, Everyone Murders!

That's the funny thing about quotes, I suppose - the wording tends to be the same! As a point of order, the BWC quote above is a direct cut and paste from Meinke's article. Might want to send your internet squad car his way.
In the meantime, kudos for your prior write-up a wonderful quote from BWC. You know a great quote when you hear it.
