just saw this on the scout board. its sick.
November 17th, 2009 at 11:02 PM ^
One of the greatest coaches giving one of the greatest speeches I have ever heard. If that does not motivate you, you dont deserve to wear the maize and blue.
November 17th, 2009 at 11:17 PM ^
Yeah, Al Pacino is one of the greatest football coaches of all time.
...wait, what?!
November 18th, 2009 at 8:36 AM ^
Jeebus, man.
November 17th, 2009 at 10:41 PM ^
And here I thought it was going to be the Scott Steiner promo in Columbus. SOMEONE POST SCOTT STEINER'S PROMO IN COLUMBUS PLEASE!
EDIT: just watched the video. I miss Bo. I miss Woodson in Maize and Blue.
November 17th, 2009 at 11:23 PM ^
for us on saturday? lol I love the act
November 17th, 2009 at 11:16 PM ^
Am dating myself, but I do.
November 18th, 2009 at 8:53 AM ^
I get maize & blue goose pimples hearing his calls.
My personal favorite is the 1973 game. First you have Hare, Middleton and the Buckeyes tearing down the M Club Banner and then you have the "Oh my God, Dennis Frankin! He fooled you; He fooled me!"
Needless to say, Ufer will be on heavy rotation at my tailgate this Saturday.
November 17th, 2009 at 10:37 PM ^
made me want to suit up and kick some buckeye ass
November 17th, 2009 at 10:38 PM ^
That got me jacked up for Saturday, it also gave me some hope.
November 17th, 2009 at 10:43 PM ^
I may be tearing up right now. Something about that voice is like having liquid BLUE pumped through your veins.
November 17th, 2009 at 11:55 PM ^
Pacino didn't even go to college, let alone UM.
November 18th, 2009 at 1:22 AM ^
Who's the moron who negged joeyb for correctly pointing out that the voice in the video is Al Pacino, not Bo? Rectified.
November 18th, 2009 at 8:45 AM ^
When fans don't even recognize the difference between Al Pacino reciting lines in a goddamn movie, and Bo Freaking Schembechler, IDK what to say. Wow.
November 17th, 2009 at 10:43 PM ^
Thanks for posting
November 17th, 2009 at 10:44 PM ^
how bloody disgusting was charles woodson?!
November 17th, 2009 at 10:47 PM ^
It makes me want to strap up and knock the fuck out of a Buckeye,
November 17th, 2009 at 10:48 PM ^
awesome video, thank you for sharing!
November 17th, 2009 at 10:49 PM ^
Gotta love good old Bo. That guy was an amazing man and he is missed every day. I hope that some of the players get to see that video, especially the younger ones somewhat new to the rivalry. Now, I don't know about the rest of the MGoBloggers, but I have been pumped for this game all week. I don't expect Michigan to win this game, but I expect them to fight their asses off on Saturday starting at Noon. Some players on this team are having their character questioned and their effort and skill. Guys like BG need to carry this team both emotionally and physically on the field this weekend. I expect to see this team play at least a little more like they did to start the season. Big game, a win might cause a "rush the field" situation. Could be anywhere from an amazing win for RichRod, or a depression inducing loss to end the season and cause us to jump straight to basketball. Can't wait, I'm hoping for the win.
November 17th, 2009 at 11:15 PM ^
Dude, you know that speech wasn't Bo, right? That's Al Pacino from Any Given Sunday.
November 17th, 2009 at 10:50 PM ^
If that doesn't get you excited... then I don't know what will...
November 17th, 2009 at 10:51 PM ^
The clip of Chuck Woodson taking his helmet off ready to go...I can never get enough.
November 17th, 2009 at 11:57 PM ^
I miss that edginess too. Did you see Hart in the clip of the teams trash talking at midfield? He literally had to be dragged back by the coaches. I miss that aggression and I even miss the fighting back when you get shoved down. I don't care if everyone else says "wow that's so unclassy". It's The Game.
November 17th, 2009 at 10:52 PM ^
Who's the guy talking in the video?
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee I'm soooooooo excited!
November 17th, 2009 at 10:56 PM ^
al pacino
November 17th, 2009 at 10:54 PM ^
go blue
November 17th, 2009 at 10:56 PM ^
Bring back Leon Hall and put him in JT Floyd's jersey, put Woodson in Woolfolk's jersey and put Shazor in Brandon Smith's jersey. Put David Harris in Ezeh's jersey and Larry Foote in Mouton's jersey. Put David Bowens in Roh's jersey and Alan Branch in Van Bergen's jersey. The Beast, The Hulk, and The Lone Soldier can stay.
Spot the ball.
November 17th, 2009 at 10:59 PM ^
I think Hall might have been in the video but in case you were confused that big hit on Boston was from Marcus Ray. Gotta give credit where credits due.
November 17th, 2009 at 10:57 PM ^
Wow. Now they need to win or I am going to be really sad.
November 17th, 2009 at 10:59 PM ^
I want to hear Barwis'
November 17th, 2009 at 11:18 PM ^
The players kind of seem scared of him .... not sure if it's the best way to pump them up lol
November 18th, 2009 at 12:06 AM ^
are out of sight to the left... they're fired up and going along with it. The guys you can see will be lucky to see the field... maybe their lack of enthusiasm has something to do with it?
November 18th, 2009 at 1:15 AM ^
I sort of thought that too... Did Barwis actually play football?
Rod's speech was a lot better...
November 17th, 2009 at 11:36 PM ^
Amazing. Go Blue!
November 17th, 2009 at 11:52 PM ^
We do have a shot at winning this game. Rivalry games can go either way because so much emotion goes into it on and off the field.
I love being a part of the best rivalry in College Footbal!
Go Blue!
November 18th, 2009 at 12:08 AM ^
I won't even bullshit you guys. This video made me tear up a tad. But no tears of pain, but tears of PRIDE! And I hope to God that RR has gotten a hold of this and is playing this for the team. It may seem like we are at our darkest hour, and nobody is giving them a chance. I hope that they win on Saturday because these kids need it and deserve it. They have heard nothing but negativity for the past two months, about them, their coach, and the program as a whole. Even if they lose, I hope they play their asses off and send that armpit to the south of us a message. Just don't get reckless and get carried away like "little brother" did.
November 18th, 2009 at 12:09 AM ^
Now I can't sleep. I knew I shouldn't have watched that video right before bed. :>)
Seriously, if you've got blue in your veins, you can't watch that and not be pumped up.
Oh well, guess it's time to pull out a couple of those old highlight videos and stay up late.
I am useless at work like i am every osu week anyways, so what's the point of sleeping.
I don't typically like all the war analogies as referenced to sporting events and whatnot. Just a personal preference of mine because of the fact that real men have lost real lives on real battlefields fighting for things we can't begin to compare to entertainment events.
HOWEVER I do make an exception for osu week. For the greatest rivalry in modern sport IMHO.
This saturday we go to battle! This saturday we try to restore this great rivalry to what it should be! This saturday we take what we want so bad to rightfully be ours once again! This saturday. This saturday at high noon.
Holy crap it's only tuesday and my heart is pumpin!!!
November 18th, 2009 at 12:41 AM ^
Not to be a buzz kill at all, but it is kind of depressing to find myself motivated about something in which I can have no affect.
Devotion is the best and worst mistress.
November 18th, 2009 at 1:05 AM ^
On a side note, has anyone ever noticed how far away the 2 and the 1 were on Timmy B's jersey?
November 18th, 2009 at 1:11 AM ^
And I would bet his record against OSU was better than most. I tried to look up his amateur record and all I could find was this:
1983 Division I Big 10 – Fifth place[1]
1984 Division I Big 10 – Runner up[1]
1985 Division I Big 10 – Runner up[1]
1986 Division I Big 10 – Runner up[1]
1986 Division I All American – Sixth place
It doesn't look like he lost very often.
November 18th, 2009 at 6:46 PM ^
Man, Lloyd Carr... hell of a speaker.
November 18th, 2009 at 6:51 PM ^
C'mon, thats not Bo.
Its Bobby Knight.
November 19th, 2009 at 1:31 PM ^
Honda would love that.
geez.
he said 'duty'
why do you hate amurika?
