For the 98% of Buckeye fans that don’t get the BTN, the videos from yesterday’s televised practice are up online.
When your coach starts quoting MacArthur, you know the team is focused:
And give Jim Bollman a monocle and he’s Panama Jack. Especially with all of that “shark” talk:
When your coach starts quoting MacArthur, you know the team is focused
Why is that? Most would tend to suspect it’s because coach lacks originality that he feels compelled to quote others. Trite, overused quotations divert focus, not concentrate it, as the recipients daydream away.
any pryor footage?
Warren, that’s an interesting take on using quotes as motivators. I personally could read great quotes all day long, but I guess we’ll have to agree to disagree.
Mike, there’s some footage from Palestra.net, but not a whole lot yet:

Jason, quotes by Woody Hayes genuinely inspired (”because I couldn’t go for three!!!”). Though a fan of MacArthur and other historical figures, Woody was deft enough to originate his own maxims and parables. This was a multidimensional man. Heck, even Bo stepped up with “those who stay will be champions.” Vest merely fires off tired old saws and misapplied historical statements. Players, at least the ones who matter, detect such. Vest only impresses himself when he imitates greats.
“those who stay will be champions.â€
This wasn’t Bo’s quote. It was first coined at Alabama by Bear Bryant.
Coach Bollman sounds like Buffalo Bill from Silence of the Lambs. Would ya?
“Oh wait, was she a great big fat person?”
