We will be perfect every day in every aspect of the game. You drop a pass, you run a mile. You miss a blocking assignment, you run a mile. You fumble the football and I will break my foot off in your John Brown hind parts...and then you will run a mile. Perfection! Let's get to work.

[Coaches Boone and Yoast argue about the harassment by racist residents]
Coach Yoast: This is about setting a good example for our boys and the community.
Coach Boone: I don't scratch my head 'til it itches, and I don't dance until I hear some music, I will not be intimidated. That's just the way it is.
Coach Yoast: You want to carry your sinful pride to your grave, that's your business, but when your sins endanger on my little girl, it becomes mine.
Coach Boone:
My sins? You think my sins had something to do with what happened last night? I'm sorry about what happened to your daughter, I really am, but maybe you've got a small taste of what
my girl has gone through.
[Yoast is silent] Welcome to my life, Yoast.

Referee: You dig your own grave.
Coach Yoast:
[Smiles] All right. DEFENSE, ON ME!
[huddles players; to Petey] Petey, don't you go on the strong side.
Petey Jones: Coach they're calling a holding penalty on me every time-
Coach Yoast: Did I ask for your excuses? You wanna act like a star, you'd better give me a star effort, do you hear me?
[Petey leaves] Forget about him. Allan, you're in, come on. All right now, I don't want them to gain another yard. YOU BLITZ ALL NIGHT!! If they cross the line of scrimmage, I'm gonna take every last one of you out! You make sure they remember, FOREVER, the night they played the Titans!
[players cheer and get back to the field] LEAVE NO DOUBT!
