Or he does the thing where he misreads a word and pretends like he meant to say it. My favorite is when he said that people "sacrifice every day for the furniture, and the future, of their children." Here's some more:

There's not a single coach in a 1st, 2nd, or 3rd & 15 situation, that would trade one of their 3 timeouts to gain 5 yards. It sounds absurd framed that way, but a default decision the other way around for some reason. It's a perfect example of the cognitive bias called "loss aversion".

Hell, if Huff wins the first two next year, I say we go ahead and give him most of his potential incentive pay. #SMTTT

I'm going to be so excited to go 6-6 next year, and any record better than that will be appropriately appreciated.

Anyone can be excited about a double digit win season (except for Ohio State, Alabama, Georgia, and apparently Marshall). Talk to me when you sell no less than 20k tickets in a season without an FBS win.

I'm not an SMU fan, but the best team that Alabama beat was Georgia, who needed 8 OTs and referee help to be Georgia Tech last week. They lost to Vandy who lost to a team that went 1-7 in the Sun Belt. The difference between the SEC and the rest of the country is propaganda.

I loved the idea of Marion, but Huff is a hire you make 100 times out of 100 if you're able to. He just won our conference championship with a team primarily built from the portal. Things can turn around quickly.

Feel this in my marrow. Our two year old could be awake for 2 straight weeks and it wouldn't touch the cumulative sleep deprivation caused by the first kid.

Take the 2 Waffle House guys (1 from Hardy, 1 from Broadway) and bring in 2 drunk grad students smoking outside the Grill & Grocery. Then go to frat row w/a bullhorn and ask, "who's got thoughts on international politics." Pick the dude with the loudest "woo."
Now that's a panel.
