NOT-OT: motivational videos to get you hyped of big games
All.
I'm not sure how you get mentally prepared for big Michigan games, but often like to use motivational videos go get my blood flowing like the salmon of capistrano. Below are my go-tos, and I admit its a little Rocky heavy, but whatever. What do you use?
- Training montage from Rocky IV: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_hLdPRsssE
- Father-son discussion from Rocky Balboa: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_Vg4uyYwEk
- Charlie Chaplin speech from the Greatest Dictator: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2G2prfR2Sc
- Parenthood (1989 Steve Martin movie) speech about handling the ups and downs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MU7iQVx8G4s

I wake up on game day and that's all I need to be hype for a big game. It really annoys my wife because apparently very few things get me equally excited that simply.

I mean. Do I click on it and get Rick-rolled?

A not uncommon response from wives further complicated by my explanation that Michigan football never asks me where our relationship is going.

I'm finding at 44 it's best I stay CALM for the games.

I do my best to stay calm and not get too pumped up as long as I’m not going to the game. Getting too amped up usually means i end up yelling/swearing at the TV while my kids look at me weird.
Best way I’ve figured out to stay on an even keel is a hard run or workout just before kickoff.

Some good Bourbon works well also.

This one, right here, especially for The Game.

Game six, 2016 NBA Finals. Cavs now down 3-2 after surprising the mighty 70 win Warriors in game five in Oakland and heading home. This video, this hype video, is the best I've ever seen in any sport for any game. Still gives me chills watching it today.

Then again, Cleveland pro sports fans are also 95% OSU fans so how about no...

The Rocky IV montage gets me everytime. Now excuse me while I go spear one of my coworkers in the conference room.

Coach Bill McCartney’s story about John Long. Chills every time, and sometimes tears.

I didn't realize people who are just watching the game like to get hyped up beforehand. This explains a lot of the posts in the snowflake threads.

You can never go wrong with a Matt Foley pep talk

I like the Mello videos.

Mello is the best
