WESTMORELAND. O that we now had here
[SIZE=+1]But one ten thousand of those men in England[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]That do no work to-day![/SIZE]

[SIZE=+1]KING. What's he that wishes so?[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]My cousin Westmoreland? No, my fair cousin;[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]If we are mark'd to die, we are enow[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]To do our country loss; and if to live,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]The fewer men, the greater share of honour.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]God's will! I pray thee, wish not one man more.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]By Jove, I am not covetous for gold,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]Nor care I who doth feed upon my cost;[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]It yearns me not if men my garments wear;[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]Such outward things dwell not in my desires.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]But if it be a sin to covet honour,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]I am the most offending soul alive.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]No, faith, my coz, wish not a man from England.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]God's peace! I would not lose so great an honour[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]As one man more methinks would share from me[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]For the best hope I have. O, do not wish one more![/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]Rather proclaim it, Westmoreland, through my host,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]That he which hath no stomach to this fight,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]Let him depart; his passport shall be made,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]And crowns for convoy put into his purse;[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]We would not die in that man's company[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]That fears his fellowship to die with us.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]This day is call'd the feast of Crispian.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]He that outlives this day, and comes safe home,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]Will stand a tip-toe when this day is nam'd,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]And rouse him at the name of Crispian.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]He that shall live this day, and see old age,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]And say 'To-morrow is Saint Crispian.'[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]And say 'These wounds I had on Crispian's day.'[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]Old men forget; yet all shall be forgot,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]But he'll remember, with advantages,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]What feats he did that day. Then shall our names,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]Familiar in his mouth as household words-[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]Harry the King, Bedford and Exeter,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]Warwick and Talbot, Salisbury and Gloucester-[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]Be in their flowing cups freshly rememb'red.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]This story shall the good man teach his son;[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]From this day to the ending of the world,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]But we in it shall be remembered-[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]For he to-day that sheds his blood with me[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]This day shall gentle his condition;[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]And gentlemen in England now-a-bed[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.[/SIZE]

Just win, baby! :oh:

That was my contention after seeing the Wisky game as well. Henne made that shoulder worse and Hart can't get medical clearance to play 7 days before The Game. This isn't a ploy by the coaches. There is just no way those guys are going to be anywhere near 100%.

Even if they play at 80% we pressure Henne to throw, let Vernon great him a couple of times so he exits the game early with a bad wing and let mallet head take over. I see this getting very physical early to alter their game plan. Hart needs to play because this is why he stayed this year, otherwise it's season over.

I agree. If Hart doesn't play I can't see Michigan winning this game. In fact, I will go out on a limb and say we win this one by 10+ points if he is out.

I can see it now...

Ref - "Ok, captains, shake hands, let's have a nice clean game. Here is our commemorative coin. Mr. Laurinaitis, you're the visiting captain, please call it in the air."

*Flip*

Laurinaitis - "Bo - OUCH, WTF, Barton?"

See it more like this:

Barton trips and knocks into JL. He exclaims, "Mother F#$@#!". The Buckeyes win the toss as it's Bo up. :tongue2: j/k

I said before the season started that this is Lloyd Carr's last season as head coach. He isn't going to get fired, officially, even if he wins zero games. He'll retire. (He may be "encouraged" to retire, but he's out after this season.)

Of course - that's just my guess. But I don't think I'm ever wrong.

He's currently 6-6 against Ohio State. 5-1 against John Cooper and 1-5 against Jim Tressel. A win this weekend and he gets to retire with a winning record against Ohio State.

So for those of you who are on the fence for which team to root for (:lol:), figure out if you want Carr to retire with a winning record against Ohio State, or a losing record.

Here is more on this subject. I think that this is his last year as well.


ESPN - In lead-up to Buckeyes, Carr's future a hot topic - College Football


ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- The questions coming Lloyd Carr's way -- about Ohio State, and about his future as Michigan coach -- seemed split down the middle. And rightfully so, because the story lines are intertwined.
It's apparent there is more on the line for Carr than a trip to the Rose Bowl as the lead-up to the Wolverines' annual game against the rival Buckeyes on Saturday approaches full throttle.

Looks like we will know on Thursday if any one is suspended from the scrum after the Ill game.

BuckeyeXtra - The Columbus Dispatch : Tressel won't speculate in wake of postgame scrum

Though Ohio State coach Jim Tressel said today that he expects to see Michigan quarterback Chad Henne and running back Mike Hart in the game Saturday, he likely won't know until Thursday or later whether the Big Ten will penalize some of his players for their actions in a midfield fracas just after the loss to Illinois this past weekend.
