Let's forget, for a minute, what is about to take place. Let's try to remember what we even do this for in the first place. Now, I know, for each of you, this "reason" is probably a little different, but in each of you there is a common thread. To accomplish a goal, a mission, if you will, that each and every one of you can share, that each of you can cherish, and that each of you can look back on later on in life an be proud that you were a part of something larger than you, something great.

Now, lets think about what that means. While you have been here, all of you have pushed yourselves to your maximum potential. You have worked your asses off to accomplish something. You have, each and every one, made sacrifices, but also an investment in your lives, in this program, and in each other, and as a result, you have an opportunity. An opportunity to see a return on those investments and to share your return with all of the people that helped you make that investment, and also those with whom you made an investment in.

It is time to collect and then pay back. You have all worked much too hard for this to be the end. What it boils down to is this, you are here to pay off a debt with the wise investments that you have made. A debt to yourselves. A debt that each and every one of you owes to yourself and to the man standing next to you.

Today, you are playing for something more important than fame or glory or even respect. You are playing for each other. You are playing so that each of you may realize your collective dream.

Now, it is time to focus on that goal, to make sure that each and every one of you do what they can to make your dreams become reality. Usually that means working hard, getting better, paying forward, Sometimes that means fighting for what you deserve.

Today, gentlemen, that is what we do. We must fight to secure that which we deserve, that which we have worked so hard for, that which we have invested in together, that which is ours. Today, gentlemen, we go to war.



This is what I was thinking about the whole time that I was reading scarletngray's post. I think that there needs to be an element of all of this in the psyche of the players' to be successful. Maybe we should combine our efforts to give the team the ultimate pep talk, as fans, I realize we will never reach the intensity of the pre-game, but it might make us feel better.

By moonlight we ride
Ten thousands side by side
With swords drawn held high
Our whips and armours shine
Hail to thee our infantry
Still brave beyond the grave
All have sworn the eternal vow
The time to strike is now

:banger:

Pride, Passion, Purpose
9-13 > OS Who? Can't hang with the big boys. Not enough speed. Can't win the big one. 10 point underdog. Exposed. Big Ten sucks.

PRIDE - A national stage. An opportunity to silence the critics. A time to look at yourself in the mirror and say "Can you bring it?" Make no mistake about it: THIS IS ABOUT PRIDE! USC, the media darlings of college football , and the #1 team in the country, have called you out. In their own backyard. Millions watching. Every college football fan other than those in Ohio saying, "it will be a blow out." Men, this is your time to shine. This is YOUR day. Carpe Diem boys. Seize the moment.
PASSION - Fire. Heart. Will. Determination. Controlled rage. An unrelenting desire to seize the moment. An absolute refusal to be denied. This is why I came to Ohio State. No bigger stage. No bigger moment. No bigger opportunity to display to the college football world that THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY belongs on the national stage. WE BELONG. And on 9-13 we will prove it.
PURPOSE - A predetermined goal. A destination. A long commitment in the same direction. WE DID NOT COME BACK OUR SENIOR YEAR TO BE DENIED. 12 Marbles. This is what spring and summer workouts were all about. NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP. You have to beat the best to be the best. Undefeated. We will accept nothing less. WE WILL ACCEPT NOTHING LESS!!
Pride, Passion, Purpose. DO IT!!
:osu: GO BUCKS!! Beat SC!

so that was really great right up to the "marbles" part. then the voice in my head went from "woody" to "holtz". after which it remained really enjoyable, but for different reasons.
