If you were Miles....

what would you tell your players before they took the field before Washington?

I think I would play a small clip of the beat downs we took last year and when it was over, give it a couple of minutes to let it set in.

After that, I would say:
8-5 boys, 8-5! How did it feel to have those numbers in your head for 243 days? Thats right, for 243 days those numbers have haunted you and there wasnt a thing you could do about it but think 8-5.
Well here is your chance to do something about it. You all have a clean slate and you all worked your arse off this offseason with those numbers 8-5 as your motivation.
So as you take that field today, I want you to remember that the road to redemption starts here! You are taking that field with a perfect record today and guess what, Washington is trying to take that from you! They want to blemish your record! They want to put you 4 games closer to 8-5 so how will you answer that?
So if things get bad out there I just want you to ask yourself which is harder, digging deep and putting everything on the line for a W or going 243 days looking back on that time where you quit?
You all know the answer to that question because thats why your sitting here waiting to rip some poor huskies head off on kickoff! I sure do feel bad for those boys out there because they will be the first of many to feel what 243 days worth of bottled up revenge tastes like. Now lets go show them how we feel about the numbers 8-5!


Ahh I am pumped because its game week :jump2:
