Transcript from "The Best"

Well, the New Georgia Encyclopedia, as I did a little research on you, said that Coach Bear Bryant said that Trippi was the greatest college football player ever.

Well, that is debatable!

Well …

I don’t know.

Well, I think …

I had good days, I guess. You know a lot of time when you have a good day against a team, the coaches and press, like Bobbie Dodd said the same thing. Course, I guess Georgia Tech, course I had very unusual days against them, because the three years I played against Georgia Tech we scored over 100 points and they only scored 7 in three years, which doesn’t seem possible, but that is exactly what happened. Of course, when you have big days against certain coaches, they get impressed and they make statements like that.
