BUM'S FAVORITE

In 1986, former Houston Oilers Head Coach Bum Phillips was approached by Blue Ribbon to become the company's first spokesman. His down-to-earth Texas charm, and no-nonsense manner made him the perfect person to tout our high-quality sausage and bacon that boasts the “True Texas Taste”. With Bum on board, Blue Ribbon's sausage and bacon products started its steady climb and reached a top ranking in Houston.

Winning is only half of it. Having fun is the other half.

The only discipline that lasts is self-discipline.

You don't know a ladder has splinters until you slide down it.

How do you win? By getting average players to play good and good players to play great. That's how you win.

"You don't win by making sensational plays; you win by not making mistakes."

"There's two kinds of coaches, them that's fired and them that's gonna be fired"

Bear Bryant could take his'n and beat your'n, or he could take your'n and beat his'n.
