**:thumbup:Love it:thumbup: I'm proud 2c others hoisting up "REFUSE to lose." I gave a letter to the team b4 the Hillsdale game telling them how we got mad as hell when our Daily Record "unanimously" picked H-dale to beat us....,in their very 1st game in the WC league. DR even had a nice article picking them to possibly win the title in their 1st yr. Still remember their 2 huge tackles....Hoover & Moffit. Also had the high hurdle champ, Brian Bodager, at running back. We got off the bus looking for anything in blue & gold to punch in the mouth. Never seen my team that friggin' mad. We went to war & REFUSED to lose. We took everything they had...then we took their heart. H-dale finished dead last that yr.,& it took them 41yrs to win the title. My letter to them was 2 pages but the words I kept repeating to Adam & his team were....REFUSE to lose. Sure looked like that was in their heads on that last drive. Since then, I have used those words in numerous posts, emails, & comments in the DR since the H-dale game. Most every playoff game we were not favored, and behind in most games, but damned if they haven't just...,REFUSED to lose.
**Honestly, I don't care if you get beat by a hundred. You are winners. You have done everything your coaches have asked from you...,and more. Since kids, you have laughed, cried, broke bones, & hearts together. Now you have clawed:thumbup:your way to a height no Norwayne alum has ever been. I want you to enjoy the view. Breathe it all in so you never forget it. It's ok now to feel proud of yourselves. Those who know you always have been. More eye candy in the trophy case is not necessary. You've already added plenty & your names are in the record books for all time. Just think, after Sat., many of you seniors will never wear the pads again. No more puking in hot 2a days. No more coach grabbing your facemask & yelling in your helmet. No more practice, practice, practice. So make it count....bc you will miss it. I know. No, you're not favored in this game either...,but I promise, again this Sat., somewhere,... you WILL see that old guy holding up that(now tattered)homemade sign. And now, you only have to REFUSE to lose....1 more time.:thumbup:ROLL CATS, ROLL
PS, No offense Falcon....,Your guys have a good program. But I still bleed Scarlet & Gray.
