This one is so good. When I was in school as a premed (graduated last year) whenever I saw this commercial I would go straight to the grad stacks and study for hours.

I HAD to listen to the speech and write the transcript. Here is to you, Bo!

THE TEAM!

We want the Big 10 championship. And we’re going to win it as a TEAM. They can throw out all those great backs and great quarterbacks and great defensive players throughout the country and in this conference. But there’s going to be one team that is going play solely as a team. No man is more important than the team. No coach is more important than the team. THE TEAM! THE TEAM! THE TEAM! And if we think that way, all of us, everything that you do you take into consideration what effect does it have on my team? Because you can go into professional football, you can go anywhere you want to play after you leave here, you will never play for a team again. You’ll play for a contract. You’ll play for this. You’ll play for that. You’ll play for everything except the team. And think what a great thing it is to be a part of something that is THE TEAM! We’re going to win it. We’re going to win the championship again because we’re going to play as a team better than anyone else in the conference. We’re going to play together as a TEAM. We’re going to believe in each other. We’re not going to criticize each other. We’re not going to talk about each other. We’re going to encourage each other! And when we play as a team, when the old season is over, you and I know it’s going to be Michigan again. Michigan!

Indeed a very touching speech. Motivation is a very powerful tool, and when utilized in the right way, it can become overwhelming. Bo definitely had a knack for motivating.

I'd like to think this years team has plenty of motivation to be better after what conspired last year. It should play into producing a better year.
