Bear Bryant's Speech to Incoming Freshman


I'm new to this arena and doubt I will post much. I have one suggestion, though. I'm from Fordyce, Arkansas and played my high school Fordyce Redbug football on the field named for Bear. I think his 2 minute and 18 second "Speech to Incoming Freshman" is the best approach to football and life that I've ever heard. The man expresses a mathematical formula for overachieving that is nothing short of brilliant. Applies to much more than football.

I want to suggest that those in charge of Roll Bama Roll post the link to that speech at least once a year, possibly as a lead up to football season. Better than any hype video I've ever seen. I watch it several times a year. If that speech won't get your motor running, you need a tune up!

Bear's the greatest coach to ever walk the sideline - at least until Nick win's his sixth or seventh NC! Roll Tide and Go 'Bugs!
