SPECIAL EDITORIAL NOTE FROM SPORTS_NUT, 2/26/2011
.
Welcome to the retirement edition of Funny Sports Quotes.
.
The Funny Sports Quotes blog was created in 11/2007 after I could see I could become a blogger very easily using Google's 3-step process for creating a blog online.
.
For me, like most, work is not my idea of a fun experience, so I had to choose the topic that I would most enjoy pursuing and that, for me, was finding and posting funny sports quotes for entertaining and, in some cases, educating an audience on facets of sports even the most ardent sports fans may not have been aware of.
.
At the same time, I decided to compile a database of funny sports quotes that sports fans and quote fans could visit for "one-stop" shopping, thereby helping them to avoid the need to search elsewhere for sports quotes.
.
So, from 11/2007 until 2/2011. I have compiled quotes on the Funny Sports Quotes blog and its sister blog, FSQuotes, that is accessible only from the Funny Sports Quotes blog.
.
As of 2/26/2011, I believe I have achieved my objective first set in 11/2007, which signals for me the end of my funny sports quotes database project.
.
Kindly note that I have already made the last post (SI Swimsuit) to the blog, shut off further entries to Comments, and I will shut off the email address sports.quotes@gmail.com on 03/14/2011.
.
Also note that many features previously cited on this page have been removed, so that a bare-bones FSQ remains for your future reference.
.
I do hope that my venture was successful in bringing a smile to your face or a skip to your step, since that was all FSQ was created for, your entertainment and pleasure.
.
In closing, I wish you and yours, Godspeed!

COLLEGE FOOTBALL QUOTES
Quote by Barry Switzer
.
I'm reminded of a Barry Switzer quote. Do you know why everyone (but me) hates football coach Barry Switzer? He tends to be a little cocky sometimes. Yet, as a rule, he backed up his cocky talk.
.
Back in the glory days of Oklahoma University football, Barry was on top of the world. Barry knows defense.
.
Matter of fact, he learned his defense in Arkansas. Arkansans know their defense, if you've been paying attention to politics for the last eight years, you'd know that.
.
Anyway, one of the quotes that made people hate Barry Switzer was something he said one year before the Texas game. Barry had the Selmon Brothers, all three of them, on his defensive line. Oklahoma's defense was so good, the sports pages didn't list who #2 was.
.
Some sports writer asked Barry how he expected to do against the powerful "Texas scoring machine," and he said.
.
"We may play to a tie."
.
Puzzled, the reporter asked Barry what he meant by that.
.
Barry said, "Well, I don't think Texas can score on the Selmon brothers, so if we don't score, the worst Oklahoma can do is a 0-0 tie."
