What would you say to players/coaches?

[PLACforever]

Night before the big game, if you could, what would you say and to who?

To Manti: First, simply, thank you. Second, regardless of the outcome of the game, you are an inspiration as a man, and the type of role model all athletes should stove to be.

This may be the biggest moment of your life........

It will not be the most important.

Play the game, leave no regrets. Walk off Proud and Humble.

Another good question is what would I say into the ESPN camera after we win tomorrow night: "Now you're all in big, big trouble."

 

[goldandblue]

I would say gentlemen... today is the day we no longer "play like a champion today" but we LIVE as champions for the rest of our lives!!!

Of course in a brave heart sort of tone!!

Love the Billy Madison reference.

You have several thousand people who support you more than you know, as more than just football players, but as students and as young men. And win or lose, these people will continue to support you.

Now look around you, you're surrounded by brothers. Guys who have worked nonstop, have shed blood, sweat, and tears with you all for the this chance right here. To fight with you in this battle as hard as they can until the very end.

Individually we all have our flaws, but tonight we have the chance to as a team, as a family be perfect. We are?

This is NOT a game

i dont think there is anything that needs to be said to them. they know the gravity of the situation and they are all self motivated guys. They know what they have to do.

I also love the part when Coach Brooks (Kurt Russell) says "AND WE SHUT THEM DOWN BECAUSE WE CAN!" We are going to shut Bama down because we can!

 

[GO IRISH!!!]

"A day may come when the courage of the Irish fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day. An hour of woes and shattered shields, when the age of the Irish comes crashing down! But it is not this day! This day we fight! By all that you hold dear on this good Earth, I bid you stand, Men of Notre Dame!"

 

[GEORGIA DOMER]

Good luck!! Have fun and GO IRISH!!!

Nice LOTR reference!

"They been saying for 25 years that we're irrelavent. That we no longer matter. For 125 years this team has saw hundreds of young men play the game for Our Lady. To build a pride and tradition unmatched by any other football program in the country. Make those who preceeded you and helped build the tradition proud. Tonight go out and show the rest of the country that Notre Dame is relavent that we are #1. We are Notre Dame."
