Go wildcats! / Buoy


I asked you boys a few seconds ago if you were scared. And while none of you responded in the form of a ‘yes’ or ‘no’ I could tell from the look in your eyes what the answer was and that’s OK cuz they’re scared too. Not only are they scared, but they’re kneeling in a locker room right now about 50 feet from here listening to their coach tell them how scared we are. My point being that they are just like us, except for one glaring difference. Potential gentlemen. . . Potential. And the driving force behind potential is the ability to be ordinary. And the only thing ordinary about tonight is what we need to leave on the field. Which is nothing. We need to leave nothing on the field tonight. Which is to say that nothing about tonight is ordinary – to clarify what I was saying before. If we go out there scared, filled with the potential to leave nothing on the field then we will succeed. Scared in a good way that is. And play well.
