Réplique du jour

« Friday night you are gonna be challenged like you have never been challenged before. Question around town is : can the Dillon Panthers be beat ? Do we have the resources they have, do we have the boosters they have, do we have the experience they have, no we don’t. Are we playing on their field ? Yes we are. However, there is more than one way to skin a cat. Preparation, preparation, preparation. We will stack our strength up against their weaknesses cause let me tell you something : while the Dillon Panthers over on the West side are preparing for their Thanksgiving feast, getting their little fancy soirees together, dreaming about their playoff win and then state championship title, by God we’re gonna be right here on this field physically and mentally preparing for one thing and one thing only. And that is beating the Dillon Panthers. You listen to me : you look around at each other and you ask yourselves gentlemen, what kind of a man am I ? Because Friday night there will be a bond formed between and among you that will never be broken. I will not be proven wrong on that. Do I think we can beat the Dillon Panthers ? I don?’t think we can beat the Dillon Panthers : I know damn well we can beat the Dillon Panthers. The question is : do you think we can beat the Dillon Panthers ? THEN SHOW ME ! »
