Bobref Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 1 hour ago, maroonman said: Many years ago (1998) I shared a luncheon table with Walter Stuhldreher, nephew of Four Horsemen quarterback Harry Stuhldreher. He told several stories of his uncle and the Four Horsemen. Grantland Rice’s story about that Army game included maybe the most famous lead in the history of sportswriting: Outlined against a blue-gray October sky, the Four Horsemen rode again. In dramatic lore they are known as Famine, Pestilence, Destruction and Death. These are only aliases. Their real names are Stuhldreher, Miller, Crowley and Layden. They formed the crest of the South Bend cyclone before which another fighting Army football team was swept over the precipice at the Polo Grounds yesterday afternoon as 55,000 spectators peered down on the bewildering panorama spread on the green plain below. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irishman Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 John McKay is a treasure when it comes to great quotes. "We didn't tackle well today but we made up for it by not blocking." "Emotion is highly overrated in football. My wife Corky is emotional as hell but can't play football worth a damn." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same with Mrs. Gipper, one very emotional broad--tough as nails however... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he was the coach who, when asked in a postgame press conference to comment on his team’s execution replied “I’m in favor of it.” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakone Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 I Don't know who said this but there was a coach who didn't like it when team was hit with a 15 yard penalty and yelled "you stink" to the ref. The ref marched off 15 more yards and said to the coach "how do I smell from here?" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
