I heard that Rohan Davey and some other former LSU players are going to do a pep talk in the locker room. But I would probably say.................... "Guys have fun, focus, kick some Sooner ASS! and bring home what we earned............................ a NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP!":geaux:
Know the play, know the count, and execute your assignment. Know the defense, read the key, and execute your assignment. Go out there and do your jobs right and there ain't a team in the country that can beat you.
Now Gentlemen Now Gentlemen, you are the finest group of athletes, Top to Bottom, that I have ever seen in the College ranks. I am proud to be the leader of this TEAM. I know the following: 1. There is NO WAY this team can score on you if you play hard for 60 minutes with the focus and intensity that got you here. 2. When you whip this bunch of overhyped punks for 60 minutes and show America you deserve to be #1 ... this is my promise to you ... I promise that you shall remember this day for the rest of your lives. I promise that this coaching job at LSU will be my last. I will die an LSU Tiger, and you can tell your children you were the reason I stayed. YOU SHALL SHOW NO MERCY ... YOU SHALL TAKE NO PRISONERS ... DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME ... WHO ARE WE? :lsug: :lsug: :lsug: :lsug: :lsug: :lsug: :lsug: :lsug: :lsug: :lsug: :lsug: :lsug: :lsug: :lsug: :lsug: :lsug: :lsug: :lsug: :lsug: :lsug: :lsug: :lsug: :lsug: :lsug: :lsug: :lsug: :lsug: :lsug: :lsug: :lsug: :lsug: :lsug: :lsug: :lsug: :lsug: :lsug: :lsug: :lsug: :lsug: :lsug: :lsug: :lsug: :lsug: :lsug: :lsug: :lsug: :lsug: :lsug: :lsug: :lsug:
For the last 45 yrs. the entire LSU nation has waited for this moment. You were born for this moment. For the seniors in this room, this moment will never present itself again. For the others, there is no guarantee that this moment will ever present itself to them again. Think about how hard you have worked all through your life to reach this time and place. The sweat, the blood, the time you've invested, the sacrifices you and your families have made to get you here. Listen to that crowd out there. Then listen to it again when we go out onto the field. If you think it is loud now and then, just wait until you hear them when you win this game. Each of those LSU fans will be with you on every play, every series. When you go out there and line up across from your opponent, look him in the eye like Seabiscuit and know you're better, know that there is no way he is going to outplay you, outgut you, outhit you or outrun you. HOLD THE ROPE!!!! Each man must do his job for a full sixty minutes and each man must have an unshakable belief and trust in his teammate to do his, to carry out his assignment with every fiber of his being on every play. Remember, we didn't work as hard as we have and our fans haven't supported us the way they have to just get here. All of us came here to win and not to win would be to cheat us all out of our just rewards. LET THE NATION TAKE NOTICE OF LSU TONIGHT. WE ARE HERE TO WIN AND WE ARE HERE TO STAY!!! REMEMBER JB, CHOLLY MAC AND THE OTHERS WHO DESERVED BUT NEVER GOT A CHANCE TO BE HERE!!! NOW GO KICK SOME SOONER ASS!!! GEAUX TIGERS!!! GEAUX TIGERS!!!! LSU, 2003 TEAM OF DESTINY!!!!
"You have an entire school, city, state and Tiger Nation behind you today. We have fought tooth and nail to get where we are today--Done so with adversity starring at you. We wanted to show the nation that we are a good football team....but today, we have the opportunity to show them we're a GREAT football team!!! Guys, this game is played on Louisiana soil....and though it's not Tiger Stadium, it IS OUR HOUSE!!! OUR HOME!!! AND we WILL NOT get pushed around!!!"
A lot of good posts on this one. God knows what Nick will say but hopefully we will come focused, playing to win, playing to dominate. When we get punched in the mouth the first time, respond accordingly, face adversity and overcome it.
Here's mine: Saban:What?! Over? Did you say over? NOTHING is over until WE decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? HELL, NO! Mauck: Germans? Lavalais: Forget it, he's rolling. Saban: It ain't over now! For when the goin' gets tough,..............the tough get going! Who's with me!? LET'S GO! C'MON! OOOOOOOOOOOO! :geaux:
Gentleman I stand beofre you, your humble coach today, priviledged to be a part of this fine group of young men. What I would ask of you today is to go out there and be a leader, each and everyone of you set the example. You are champions and the banquet is out on the field waiting for you to feast upon. Each of you will be tested today in some way, as all great gladiators are tested. As you run out on the field remember all the reasons you are here. You have an oppurtunity to become Legends today, focus every fiber of your being on the task at hand. Stray not from the course and the spoils of victory will go to LSU the Victors. Line up and bust this sooner Hoard in the mouth EVERY time he stands up for 60 minutes until he has no more fight in him. Do this for JB, CHolly MAc, Tiger Fans and yourself. Most of all yourself. Years from now your names will be uttered along with other legends of the game. LET THIS BE OUR VICTORY Dominate your opponent until he flees before you. Show no mercy. No one remembers who came in second. NOW GO OUT THERE AND Bust some SOONER ASS!
