"If you’ve never heard Knute Rockne’s famous halftime speech, I suggest you listen to it. Or…Or you can go to a gathering of Democrats listening to Coach Tim Walz’s “raw-raw-raw-by-jiminey-cricket-let’s get-out-there-and-win-win-win. We have a playbook; let’s follow it.”
“Uhhhh, Coach? The playbook you gave us is full of blank pages.”
“We’re going to follow it. That’s why we put in all the hard work. That’s why we practice. We’re going for the championship.”
“But, Coach, there’s nothing in the playbook. Shouldn’t we have a specific plan, one we can actually study and follow?”
“When you play football, son, you have a plan, a playbook, and you stick to that.”
“But, Coach…”
“Now get out there. We’re going for the biggest championship in the world.”
*See "College Football Hall of Famer Knute Rockne Gives a Stirring Locker Room Speech." Here's part of it:
We’re going inside ‘em. We’re going outside ‘em. Inside ‘em, outside ‘em. When we get them on the run, we’ll keep them on the run. We’re not going to pass until that secondary comes up to the 12. Don’t forget men, that we are going to get them on the run and we’ll go, go, go, go! And we are not going to stop until we reach the end line!
