Bedford compared Trevone Boykin to Michael Vick and raved about his Mom's cornbread dressing, but this was my favorite from today. When asked if TCU's offense was like a combination of Oklahoma State's and Baylor's, Bedford replied:

If you look at the University of Oregon, you see the same style offense. This country wants to say, "Look what I did." "Look what I made." and I've got it figured out that way, because, you know what? There's a lot of people doing that right now. This is a line of all those things together, and you put your own spin on it. Everybody wants to patent it, "Oh, this is my stuff" - No, it isn't. It's what you do and it's your philosophy. It's just that simple. So, it's a little bit of everything. 

I used to love this expression years and years ago...do you guys know what a fruitcake is? You put all kinds of stuff in fruitcake. Personally, I don't like fruitcake. But you throw it all over the place - put it all in and mix it up and all of a sudden, "This is my fruitcake."

That's what offense is like today. It's what you put into it, your philosophy, and what you learn from lots of other people.

Reporter:  Why don't people like fruitcake?

Me personally, there's just so much stuff in it...it's like, what is it?!? You know, I don't know what it really is. So, I'm not a fruitcake connoisseur myself. I hope no one sends me a fruitcake.

Classic Bedford.

Vance on Thanksgiving...

My mom made the best cornbread dressing in the history of cornbread dressing. She passed away two and a half years ago, I miss her. My sister makes a great cornbread dressing. She learned from my mom. My wife has a recipe she got from Louisiana – outstanding. I think about that sometimes sitting down, and it brought tears to my eyes it was so good. My grandfather used to have this story – I was a kid growing up in Louisiana. After a great meal, he would sit in his recliner and say it was so good that he'd have to unbuckle his belt because he just felt so good. When I think about my mom's cornbread dressing, it makes me want to unbuckle my belt and say thank the Lord, it's really good. I love my wife's dressing, don't get me wrong, but my mom was an outstanding cook. If she would've opened up a restaurant and sold that dressing, do you know that I wouldn't be sitting here talking to you today (laughs)? I'd be living off of my mom's money coming in, smiling with cornbread dressing dripping down my face. I would probably weigh about 250 pounds right now, so I would need to unbuckle my belt.

I love him - and I'm not ashamed to say it.

I can't wait to unbuckle my belt next week.  :lol:

I'll get the cornbread stuffing recipe from Bedford if joeywa will come down for TCU and make it for a tailgate. Deal?

 

[Lukus Alderman]

I really like Bedford.

I hear joeywa only eats free-range yardbird.
