Royalisms

"Dance with the one that brung ya"

"Luck is what happens when preperation meets opportunity"

"Ol' ugly is bettern than old nothing"

"The real make of a man is how he treats people who can do nothing  for him"

"Breaks balance out. The sun don't shine on the same old dog's rear end every day"

"Punt returns will kill you quicker than a minnow can swim a dipper"

"A coach isn't as smart as they say he is when he wins, or as stipid  when he loses"

"Football doesn't build character. It eliminates the weak ones"

"I was so poor that I had a tumbleweed as a pet"

Thank you Darrell Royal for your wisdom.
