Rich Rod should use this speech before Gator Bowl
I don't know if this has ever been posted on here, but I just ran across it and thought I would share it. A little long, but great speech!
Oh and someone please take the audio off this and use it for a UM season highlight video. It would be perfect. Because we are CHAMPIONS

if you want HIM to use it... why are you telling US?
best we're gonna do is turn this into some ZOMG HARBAUGH'S COMING crap
December 27th, 2010 at 1:28 PM ^
I'm not sure of many things, but I am sure of this:
Every Michigan coach and Lloyd Brady read MGoBlog.
Carry on gentlemen!
December 27th, 2010 at 12:06 PM ^
But I don't like ripping off from others. I am a champion.
December 27th, 2010 at 12:12 PM ^
Does not seem to know who he is.
December 27th, 2010 at 12:27 PM ^
penis
December 27th, 2010 at 12:55 PM ^
You are one strange bird, mang. No homo?
December 27th, 2010 at 12:09 PM ^
All I gotta say is "Piece by inches".
December 27th, 2010 at 12:12 PM ^
I couldn't help but notice the stereo in the background... did he play music in the background or was it added in later?
Solid speech though.
December 27th, 2010 at 12:20 PM ^
But that was from Braveheart (the music that is).
December 27th, 2010 at 12:33 PM ^
I'm hoping it was added later, because that would be kind of awkward.
December 27th, 2010 at 12:38 PM ^
It was from The Last of the Mohicans, maybe Braveheart also... but definitely Mohicans. Fantastic movie at that.
December 27th, 2010 at 12:50 PM ^
Right you are. Good catch, and no, I don't think it was also in Braveheart the more I think about it. And yeah, fantastic film.
December 27th, 2010 at 12:18 PM ^
Rat s*it, bat s*it, dirty old twat, 69 as*holes tied in a knot, hooray, lizard s*it, f*ck.

Watch this video, you will understand the post above.

Text to his speech is linked here.
The coach's name is John Flowers. He coaches the JV team here in Leland High School in San Jose, California. Leland is perhaps best known as the alma mater of Pat Tillman, and a moderate power here in Northern California.
The owner of the local Michigan bar is a huge supporter of Leland's athletics programs. We have purchased numerous Leland fund raising items from them over the years while watching Michigan games. Perhaps we can use the connection to bring Coach Flowers to speak to the team at some point...

I was expecting Hawkeye and Chingachgook to fly in out of nowhere and start cracking skulls...
December 27th, 2010 at 12:26 PM ^
the only speech that he should think about using is this one. too good...
December 27th, 2010 at 12:35 PM ^
Thanks for posting that was some kind of speech, pep talk. I loved it! Those who (come) will be champions! I am a Champion! I'm fucking pumped.
December 27th, 2010 at 12:52 PM ^
Not bad, I would love to hear his pregame now!
December 27th, 2010 at 1:05 PM ^
If he adds in a "I hate the SEC" riff he'd have me hooked.
December 27th, 2010 at 1:25 PM ^
and ties them all together for the purpose of getting it done. He took a little Alexander The Great, Nietche, Machiavelli, Tzu and, of course, Churchill, bot nothing wrong with that at all.
Pre game speech has one purpose only, and if you are going to borrow phrases best to go with proven winners. I liked it a lot. Thanks for sharing.

That whole "never leave an enemy behind" thing changes things. I am *not* bringing buckeyes or green dudes home. You can forget that.
Edit: the on-line text I found does not match the speech as posted. I think we have an editing fail. It turns out we don't have to bring buckeyes home after all.
December 27th, 2010 at 1:12 PM ^
Every speech Ive ever seen him do involves putting more tape on, putting more air in your helmet, and lacing up your shoes a little tighter, but then he says except you Denard.
December 27th, 2010 at 1:43 PM ^
Is it me or does this guy sound kinda like DMX?
December 27th, 2010 at 8:35 PM ^
Yes, i definitely thought the exact same! Might as well have said... I Shed BLOOOOOOD for my Champs...!
December 27th, 2010 at 1:47 PM ^
For all the crap he's had to put up with for the last three years, I'd be happy if he did this:
and it would serve everyone right for second-guessing everyone from the Board of Regents on down.
December 27th, 2010 at 3:19 PM ^
After a speech like that, there is no possible way I wouldn't have dismantled someone.
