Running 2018 college rings postseason thread

Oops. Looks like a lot of Facebook love is going to a headline thief.

 

Nantz?

 

Maybe. I definitely remember it.

 

FRIDAY, MARCH 16 | VIRGINIA INTERVIEW QUOTES


HEAD COACH TONY BENNETT

Opening statement

“Well first, hats off to Coach Odom and his staff at UMBC. They played a terrific game. They thoroughly outplayed us. They did a heck of a job. Very hard to guard offensively and they defended us well. I was concerned with a four-guard or four-perimeter offense heading into this. We didn’t do the job. I told these guys in the locker room, a week ago we were cutting down the nets at the ACC Tournament and how good that felt. They had a historic season. They really did. I said that to Tracy [Wolfson] at CBS after the game, in terms of ACC wins and ACC Conference tournament championship. Then, we had a historic loss being the first one seed to lose. That’s life. We talk about it all the time. In the end, it was a remarkable season but we got thoroughly outplayed and that's the reality of it. I hate for this team to lose like this. If you play this game and step into the arena, this stuff can happen.”

 

Every 'dog has its day would have been a simple but effective headline.

 

Yeah, I don’t see any shade there, but I’m biased.

 

It was in his interview with Woolfson.

 

There is nothing to see here. In the video, in which he says the same thing, there is no dig at anybody. He just says when you step into the arena, these things can happen.

 

I think Dick is inserting the beginning of the Teddy Roosevelt quote in his interpretation. The full quote goes: "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood ... "

When Paul Ryan cites that quote as inspiration, yes, it means Fuck The Media.

I seriously, seriously doubt Tony Bennett is going in that direction, or that he even knows the full context of that "in the arena" phrase.

 

Pretty much the same thing.

 

Grant Hill said it.

 

YGBFKM would have been a good headline.
