Tullai in the Nov. 27, 1994, <i>Baltimore Sun</i>:<br /><br /><i><a href="http://articles.baltimoresun.com/1994-11-27/news/1994331013_1_gilbride-buddy-ryan-football-coach" rel="nofollow">Undoubtedly best known for his malapropisms was Bill Peterson, former coach of the Florida State Seminoles. Those who observed him in action feel his classic statements came in stressful or excited situations. Some of his most memorable are:<br /><br />* On his relationship with players:<br /><br />"I've always had great repertoire with my players."<br /><br />* Reminding those around him who was in charge:<br /><br />"I'm the football coach around here and don't you remember it!"<br /><br />* On favorable crowd reaction to his speech:<br /><br />"They gave me a standing observation."<br /><br />* On the talent of one of his players:<br /><br />"Fred Biletnikoff's limitations are limitless. He's footsure and fancy free."<br /><br />* Discussing a meeting between his team and a key rival:<br /><br />"It'll be like two ships that crash in the night."<br /><br />* On playing style:<br /><br />"We're going to throw the football, come hell or high water.<br /><br />We're not gonna be any Martin D. Tullai is chairman of the history department at St. Paul's School in Brooklandville.<br /><br />three clouds and a yard of dust kind of team."<br /><br />* About a coming opponent:<br /><br />"We can beat this team. All we have to do is capitalize on our mistakes."<br /><br />* Asked if he thought it would rain:<br /><br />"What do you think I am -- a geologist?"<br /><br />* Giving instructions on the field:<br /><br />"You guys pair off in groups of threes, then line up in a circle."<br /><br />* Summing up a close, winning game:<br /><br />"Whew, this was a cliff dweller to end all cliff dwellers."<br /><br />L * To one of his players, an aspiring minister, after a game:<br /><br />"Lead us in a few words of silent prayer."<br /><br />* Helping a photographer on press day:<br /><br />"You guys line up alphabetically by height."<br /><br />* After a gallant but losing effort:<br /><br />"I used to have this slight speech implement."<br /><br />* Remarking on an improvement:<br /><br />"I couldn't remember things before I took that Sam Carnegie Course."<br /><br />* On being honored:<br /><br />"The greatest thing just happened. I got indicted into the Florida Sports Hall of Fame."<br /><br /><br /><br />* Waxing patriotic:<br /><br />"This is the greatest country in America."<br /><br />* Painting a glowing picture to his not-very-enthusiastic team before the 1966 Sun Bowl in El Paso -- near the Mexican border and attractions in Juarez:<br /><br />"Each of you will receive a nice piece of Seminite luggage. We're going to have a grand time, but I don't want any of you players getting in trouble over there in Warsaw."<br /><br />* Trying to fire up his team by citing a historic precedent before a big game:<br /><br />"Just remember the words of Henry Patrick -- 'Kill me or let me live.' "<br /><br />* On being together:<br /><br />"We're all in this together, and don't you remember it."<br /><br />* To his Houston Oilers team:<br /><br />"Men, I want you thinking of just one word all season. One word and only one word -- Super Bowl."<br /><br />* After a tough game:<br /><br />"Don't you guys think for a minute that I'm going to take this loss standing down."</a></i>Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11218278987255792995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1697242053625998558.post-29569497242039174492018-10-17T13:10:50.847-04:002018-10-17T13:10:50.847-04:00From the Dec. 1, 1987, Los Angeles Times:

On first down, Pastorini rolled right. Despite wide receiver Kenny Burrough leaping over and over again, wide open in the back right corner of the end zone, Pastorini elected to run--only to be turned onto his head by Villapiano for a couple-yards loss. On second down, Gus Otto threw Pastorini for a loss of 12 or 15 yards, and then Pastorini overthrew the third-down pass. Butler came on for another field-goal attempt, and the Raiders blocked it. (Cosell had told us on the previous possession that the rap on Butler is that he kicks the ball so low that he is prone to being blocked.)Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11218278987255792995noreply@blogger.com
