"Am I supposed to be looking at you? Am I looking at you, cameraman? Who am I looking at? That camera? OK. Got all these cameras, I don't know who to look at. Who's in charge of this? Send somebody up here and say what camera you're supposed to look at."
-- New Arizona State coach Herm Edwards, upon taking the podium at Pac-12 media day.
"I hope we elect to kick ass."
-- Saban, on his radio show, on if he'd elect to kick off or receive to start the game when No. 1 Alabama met No. 3 LSU.
"To me it's kind of like mouse manure when you're up to your ears in elephant doo-doo."
-- Nick Saban in preseason talking about the NCAA's new rules capping the number of headsets that can be worn on the sidelines.
"He didn't do nothin' but get paid a whole bunch of money."

"I thought I was going to come here and have a bunch of turds, and we don't."
-- Willie Taggart, at the ACC Football Kickoff in July, after taking over at Florida State.
"We knew they couldn't hang with us. ... Sometimes your little brother starts acting up, and you just gotta put them in place."
-- Michigan defensive end Chase Winovich to Fox on Michigan's 21-7 victory over Michigan State.
"I guess stepping out of your front door every day and being smacked in the face with the humidity, that's a pretty good 'Welcome to the South' moment. And everything being wrapped in bacon in food, that's pretty good, too."
-- Mississippi State coach Joe Moorhead, who spent most of his life in the Northeast, on adjusting to live in Starkville.

"RPO is the purest form of communism."

-- Washington State Coach Mike Leach On Dec. 1, dismissing news reports that he was interested in returning to Texas Tech.
"They do the same thing year in and year out. This is five years in a row now. So it makes it really easy to game plan when an offense does the same thing every year. ...

-- UCLA coach Chip Kelly, after Oklahoma quarterback Kyler Murray accounted for 375 yards and five touchdowns in a Week 2 win over the Bruins.
"Blows my mind. We hung 50 on them, too. If anyone on their defense has anything to say, they can have fun playing Kyler [Murray] next week."
-- Oklahoma linebacker Curtis Bolton, referencing Texas' 48-45 win in their first matchup in response to Breckyn Hager's remark, before Oklahoma's 39-27 win in the Big 12 title game.
"Ol' boy doesn't like losing. But you lost, so it is what it is. ... To be honest with you, I really don't care. It's funny to me. I saw it and I started laughing. It's very, very funny. I'm probably going to laugh after this, and go look at it and laugh some more."
-- Texas DE Charles Omenihu on Murray's "no comment" before the rematch.
"Lamented? Lamented. Is that like laminated? I don't know what that is. New word. Hey man, I'm from Alabama. It's a big word. Lamented. Lemme write that down. I'ma tell 'em, 'I lament, y'all.' They're gonna look at me just like I looked at you."
