"The Eight Letters on our Chest..."
I've had a couple beers but I think this is a direct quote of what Tommy Henry said after the game tonight. Hopefully this is Michigan Lore in the making. Love this kid, and with a little luck his teammates can make him a champion tomorrow. GO BLUE!
HAIL
”We play for the right reasons: each other and the 8 letters across our chest.”
Amen, Tommy!
That should be on the mgoblog banner.
Especially now that we are a baseball school!
While still being an actual school.
The Michigan difference.
Thanks for the critique! Sounds even better with the full quote!
Edit: I listened to the clip and I was actually right ?
That quote is so frickin' awesome.
It's certainly better than the SEC motto, "I play for the bagman who brought me here."
Seriously, "The 8 letters ..." quote would make a helluva t-shirt. (It's a great improvement over "I think of brunette girls when the game is on the line," which I still have somewhere.)
Made me laugh, good thing I didn't have a mouthful of coffee. It would have been comin out my nose!
I'd totally buy the shirt with the 8 letters quote. What a great statement.
But does he even have the passion to be a great coach? Let me be the first to post it... fire Howard!
Win tomorrow and that is being chiseled in my chest hair....lol.
Go Blue!!
"Win tomorrow and that is being chiseled in my chest hair....lol.
Go Blue!!"
I'm going to hold you to this which means pics are required.
I’ll take it a step further and say we need video. I don’t want him getting smart and using clippers. I want to see this chiseling of chest hairs!!
Tommy Henry is a motherfucking DUDE
Not sure if those comments were off the cuff or not, but they were BEAUTIFUL!!!
It was quoted by EB also, earlier in the CWS. I've also heard other teammates quote it. One may have been Jimmy Kerr. I expect that EB is responsible for the motivational quote.
I would guess it’s been a part of the CWS team theme. Great stuff.
Simply legendary.
play for the name on the front not the name on the back!
Gives me such a different feeling than talking about players not participating in games.
Sport in its purest form. No money here. Just a love of the game, playing for your teammates and your club.
This is too rare these days. Savor it.
Could not agree more.
Coaches are paid accordingly.
And outs is letting them play to the fullest. He's done his job of drawing out their best at yhe right time.
And none of the five players that were drafted left their team before the MLB Draft.....
Jimmy Kerr going to the Tigers is a hoot!
ONE MORE for the record books and sensational memories of the team that played incredible ball way past their expected expiration date!
GO BLUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Acing Him (is he)
Ham Icing!
Once he makes it to the bigs he will be my favorite player in MLB
One more win!
Shock The World.
Alex, the judges will accept the 8-letter response.
Very excited and nervous for (now) tonight's game. Last night was such a fun watch overall, so hopefully we can put up a similar performance.
Trying to make comparison for my buddy so he gets how crazy this is. I said it would be like a 14 seed winning March Madness. How'd I do?
Close. More like an 11 seed -- that's usually the seeding every year of the "last 4 in" teams in the Dayton first games.
