With Coach Crean and Capobianco at the ready in the locker room there should be no motivational lapses during the long season for this young bunch.

Capo is churning out the hiliarity already. I liked the quote where he said Coach Crean was “naturally caffeinated.” How about Elston and the we are here “to hang banners and win awards.” And, you have to love a kid like Hulls who says playing at Indiana is like a “life long dream.” Loving these new recruits so far.

“We want stunned silence.” If I was any more pumped up after Bobby C's comment…I'd have pee running down MY leg! I'm practically throwing computers around the office. I may have to wear my candy striped pants to work tomorrow.

I do love that quote for its visual and emotional content. I have a feeling Bobby C. is going to churn this kind of stuff out regularly.

So true Kelin. My high school team was black and red and the 2nd unit was always the red team in practice. My sophomore year the 2nd unit adopted the name the “Red Squad” and even had t-shirts made up. The mission of the “Red Squad” every practice was to be beat the 1st Team as bad as possible.

It became such a big thing at school that even the rest of student body knew about the Red Squad and would chant for them. Needless to say, we went 22-4 and won our league title.

I know this: when I go to my new business meeting at work later today, I won't be out there with pee running down my leg.

Thanks for motivating me, Bobby C.

Having played on teams where the first unit was as good as the second unit, I can tell you it makes a WORLD of difference in many ways to that team and coach. You do not have time to let up, you COMPETE every practice and you are looking over your shoulder at times. Verdell statement speaks volumes……..
