    Who made this memorable quote?

    "Gentlemen, it is better to have died as a young boy than to fumble this football."

    Nope. Good guess though considering the source. This one is not from Tennessee.

    You added Woody Hayes while I was typing. Still not correct.

    Nope... What if I added that he coached the most one sided football game in the history of college football?

    Wohooo!!! The Jifster got it.

    John Heisman's Georgia Tech team beat Cumberland College 222-0 in 1916 motivated by revenge for Cumberland's defeat over Tech's baseball team 22-0.

    OK... ready for the next one???

    He might be looking for a great boy but that was not his quote.

    Influences around Corey in the past should have educated him so that he could answer this one.

    With the hint "Influences around Corey in the past...", I though people might go as far back as Cali. But it did refer to Des his Ex, an Auburn fan. Terry nailed it.

    OK, it sounds to me likeCLK at Tennessee subscribes to this theory but it is not his quote. Who said:

    Motivation is simple... You eliminate those who are not motivated.
