i think that every person on the team should have to watch the following at some point this week, in order to get pumped up for this game:

1. Rudy
2. Any Given Sunday
3. Miracle
4. 300

its inspiring... it was 300 against 10,000... no one believed that they would last more than 10 minutes... kinda the situation the Irish have been placed in

I'd like to see what Charlie's locker room speech before the game. Somehow I doubt he can come even close to Lou in that respect. He better bring his bigboy speech on Saturday! I wanna see these guys cranked up!

He needs a speech that basically combines Pacino's in Any Given Sunday with Herb Brooks' from Miracle.

With the exception of 300, I agree. although hopefully they are too busy getting ready (and being students, unfortunately, it is midterm week at ND) to be sitting around watching that many movies.

Maybe they should bring back Lou to give the pregame speech. Charlie isn't the best motivational speaker in the world... although who knows, there is a first time for everything.

I was unaware that this was midterm week at ND. We had our midterm week last week at Nova, and luckily we got a fall break this whole week, so I'll be spending 3 days out in South Bend.

I think that Weis should keep it simple and tell them that they shouldn't be trying to prove anything to the analysts or the pollsters or boosters or anyone. The only people that they have to prove anything to is themselves.

they shouldnt need any tricks to fire the team up.

They know who they are playing and they know what it means. So play smart football and give them everything you got, because i know for a factthat our team wants it more

They shouldn't need a speech to get up for THIS GAME!!!!!!!!!!

Every player will be so jacked, hopefully they keep there heads and play smart, although I wouldn't mind seeing a roughing the passer penalty on the 1st drive to get in Barkley's head a little!

True. But a little kool aid with equal parts sugar and (green) Tabasco to prime the pump can't hurt.

How about they just plant him on more than one play, and NOT give 'SC a free 15 yards? :wink:

I agree they shouldn't need something to get them up for this game. I just hope they believe they can win. It all starts there.

I don't know how old some of you guys are, but I'd settle for a pre-game speech from Ara. He was very inspiring.

Yeah, you tell King Leonidas and 300 badass Spartans (not MSU Spartans) that and you'll get your head chopped off by a sword! :)

Gerard Butler is a terrible actor and that movie was a terrible movie.

The real Spartans were not bodybuilding, half-naked war gods wearing armored speedos.
