“The quarterback hands the ball off to the running back, the running back runs up the field, faking right, dodging left, running right through the other team’s defense. He’s going, going…GONE! TOUCHDOWN!!” Agh, good ole football, America’s favorite pastime. Especially, at James Madison University where their Dukes are 7-1!
It honors Tom Osborne, who in 25 terrific seasons as Nebraska’s head coach, built a program based on more than winning. Osborne was named Nebraska's head coach after the 1972 season and had remarkable success and built many traditions. After the 1997 National Championship game, the reigning national champion Osborne retired, making him the first coach in college football history to do so. He left with an outstanding active winning percentage (.836, 255-49-3), an incredible mark that still sits sixth all-time amongst Division I coaches (Tom Osborne Head
The Titans kept the images of large, strong, men entering into battle and plastered it across their uniforms, inserted it into their fight songs, and gave the mythological weapons to their mascot. This process has removed a lot of detail from the myth, leaving out the hundred handers, Cyclopes, and most importantly the fact that the Titans ultimately ‘lost’ in the end to the Olympians. but at the end of the day, this repurposing serves the team’s commercial interests very well. The images of strength are pervasive, and extend into the team’s fan base. The fans join in and unite behind this image, cheering for their team and assisting in physically causing the ground to shake.
For example, Scobie created a chant for the rugby game against another school

Coaching Dynamics For Success Many people don't realize it, but the rigorous coaching style of Herman Boone, as displayed in the award winning movie Remember the Titans, should be adopted into today's coaching methods. The movie portrayed how football teaches leadership, as well as, high standards for high school football players. Coach Boone begins by teaching the players to respect themselves by first dressing the part off the field, He made sure they each were properly dressed by wearing a dress coat and tie.
If one thing is certain, it’s that the state of Mississippi loves their football. Between the Ole Miss Rebels, the Mississippi State Bulldogs, the Southern Miss Golden Eagles, and multiple high school teams, there is plenty of football to be seen. Fridays and Saturdays are often the Sabbath to the football nuts that reside in Mississippi. Once the dreaded end of the season arrives, the conversation shifts towards how great people’s teams are going to be next year. On occasion, a person will rise from the plethora of meatheads and become a legend among their fellow Mississippi natives.
But with the help of Coach Boone and the other assistant coaches, the football players realize that hard work and dedication will help change their moral and values in life. Remember the Titans uses sports gerund to illustrate the change of integration and how the football players overcame racism and
Many people who attended this particular football game were there because they cared about the game itself and who was going to win. For these people, that is all that any football game is about, and that is perfectly okay. This game started out a little bit on the rough side, but things turned for the better on behalf of those cheering for the Highlanders. Throughout the entire game, I heard people cheering for the team and booing the referee whenever he made a call that was against Cambria Heights. This kind of support from the public is what makes the success of the Highlander football team so great.
Have you ever felt like you don't belong even though it's where you are supposed to be? In the film Remember the Titans the director Boaz Yakin’s shows how the football team felt that same way. Yakins showed how they got over it throughout coming together to build a community, through unity, acceptance, and through self-fulfillment. When the titans built their sense of community all the team players showed a different side to the other teammates, as the team was becoming more accepted and the team started to feel self-fulfilled. With the Titans working on coming together during training camp a sense of community is already being established as the team must find a way to work together.
Coach Boone stresses the idea of respect; he doesn’t care if his players don’t like each other but he expects them to respect each other and maybe, they will learn how to play the game of football like men. As a leader, I have to be aware of my surroundings and the individuals around me that I could possibly be influencing by my actions but also by my character. The goal of a team is being able to say you are giving something that is bigger than yourself, one hundred percent effort, including your resources. A team is so much more than just one person, without fellow teammates a leader cannot
Gettysburg Speech In 2000 at Gettysburg, Coach Herman Boone presented his football team with a heartwarming, pathos speech about a historical war event to cause his players to fathom the importance of acting as a team. Coach Boone’s Gettysburg speech was a mesmeric allusion to President Lincoln’s famous dedication, and provoked a comparison between one of the hardest fought battles of the civil war and the need for teamwork. His morning practice speech is meant to inspire by arousing images, to appeal to their emotions, on the consecrated field of one of the most difficult times in American History. “Anybody know what this place is?”
The football team lives and breathes by these four simple concepts of the acronym, without it, we would not be able to grow as a team. The T stands for togetherness meaning as a team working together as one unit to accomplish the team goal of winning. To me togetherness symbolizes a type of family. I love them, trust them, and will do anything for my teammates. When I am on the field I have to be able to trust the man next to me in his
They were able to relate to the one inch at a time proposition of pulling together to come out of the disarray the team was in. They were touched by his honesty and openness in the beginning of his speech, which was an attention getter, then intrigued by the challenge to sacrifice for the team and fight for the inches need to win and survive. The coach ended the speech with a summation of the team fighting for that inch together and then concluded with the question, “…now, what are you gonna do”. The inspired team then went on, played with their heart, and won the football game.
