Ghenghis Khan, appropriate for the day when we kick Phlorida's ass (may it be so this Saturday).

"I am the punishment of God. If you had not committed great sins, God would not have sent a punishment like me upon you."

"It is not sufficient that I succeed. All others must fail."

and of course,

"The greatest happiness is to scatter your enemy, to drive him before you, to see his cities reduced to ashes, to see those who love him shrouded in tears, and to gather into your bosom his wives and daughters." And to make Urbie wet himself.

Phuck Phlorida

And from another great warrior;

"when able to attack, we must seem unable;
when using our forces, we must seem inactive; when we
are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away;
when far away, we must make him believe we are near."
-Sun Tzu

The UCLA loss was only a tactic to create overconfidence in our opponent.

"Once you get them running, you stay right on top of them, and that way a
small force can defeat a large one every time... Only thus can a weaker
country cope with a stronger; it must make up in activity what it lacks in
strength."
- General Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson

A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.

Great quote From Harry Truman:

I always remember an epitaph which is in the cemetery at Toombstone, Arizona. It says: "Here lies Jack Williams. He done his damnedest." I think that is the greatest epitaph a man can have.

I think this is the difference between Kiffin and Fulmer.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

Theodore Roosevelt
Speech at the Sorbonne
Paris, France
April 23, 1910

Continuous effort - not strength or intelligence - is the key to unlocking our potential.

For you englishvol, since you insist on quoting Churchill..

Robert the Bruce: You have bled with Wallace, now bleed with me.


In the Year of our Lord 1314, patriots of Scotland - starving and outnumbered - charged the fields of Bannockburn. They fought like warrior poets; they fought like Scotsmen, and beat the shit out of the bloody English!!!!!!

"We'll cause a diversion over here... cut holes in the wire here, fire on all these machine gun positions. The B-Group comes across this area in a flanking maneuver... and when you reach this bunker, you lay down grazing fire on this defilade. I think that's pretty simple. Anybody got any questions so far?" -Col. Andy Tanner

A general of ordinary talent occupying a bad position, and surprised by a superior force, seeks his safety in retreat; but a great captain supplies all deficiencies by his courage, and marches boldly to meet the attack. By this means he disconcerts his adversary; and if the latter shows any irresolution in his movements, a skillful leader, profiting by his indecision, may even hope for victory, or at least employ the day in maneuvering -- at night he entrenches himself, or falls back to a better position. By this determined conduct he maintains the honor of his arms, the first essential to all military superiority.

Do not press a desperate foe too hard

Accept the challenges so that you can feel the exhilaration of victory.

The devil's name is dullness.

In a man-to-man fight, the winner is he who has one more round in his magazine.

Florida will be sickened by us, Florida will talk about us, and Florida will fear us.

'Worry' is a word that I don't allow myself to use.

KING HENRY V:
This story shall the good man teach his son;
And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remember'd;
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother.

Uncle Urbie trying to talk shit to Lane before the game tomorrow. Taken from "Happy Gilmore".

Urbie: "You're in big trouble pal, I eat pieces of shit like you for breakfast."

Lane: "You eat pieces of shit for breakfast?"

Urbie: "....No!"

If so, it's working like a charm! :thk:
