Woody on Michigan:
  • "I read your book, you SOB!"--holding up Bo Schembechler's book after 1970 game
  • "How did our great rivalry get started? Well, the real fight started back in 1836 when Andrew Jackson, that wily old cuss, took Toledo away from that state up north and gave it to us."
  • "I didn't like that SOB when he played for me, I didn't like him when we worked for me, and I certainly don't like him now."--on Schembechler
  • "We do not pull in and fill up. And I'll tell you why we don't. It's becuase I don't buy one [goshdarn] drop of gas in the state of Michigan. We'll coast and push this car to the Ohio line before I give this state a nickel of my money."--to assistant coach Ed Ferkany as they were low on gas in Michigan
  • "They're traitors! They're traitors!"--on Lantern sportswriters who picked OSU to lose to Michigan in 1971
  • "They couldn't beat me with two Michigan coaches. So they had to come down here and take a coach that I trained. And they haven't beaten me with him yet."
  • "All right, men, don't eat the salad. They're trying to poison us."--eating at a motel in Ann Arbor
  • "We don't give a damn for the whole state of Michigan."
  • "Spoiled, hell! I think the bastards are probably trying to poison us or something! Cancel the dinner here tonight. We're making other plans."--when an assistant coach commented that the salad smelled funny while the team ate lunch in Michigan
  • "You're going to Michigan? Why, you dumb no-good [ ]. You go right ahead! You go there, and when you play against Ohio State we'll just see whether you gain a yard against us all day. We'll break you in two."--to a recruit who told him he was going to Michigan
  • "Men, this is war! I don't care anything about the national championship or the Big Ten championship, but if we win this game today and afterward, if the Good Lord says, 'Woody, it's your time', I'll say, 'Lord, I'm ready!'. I'll have to take it easy up there--or down there--but I know where I'll go."--before 1975 game

A fav Woody quote of mine:
A reporter asked why tOSU went for a 2 point conversion after a touchdown when they were up by more than enough to win.
And Woody's response, "Because I couldn't go for 3."
