Word of the Day: ATTACKLE

by Dr. Charley West on Apr 24, 2008 1:00 AM EDT in HCBS

I love Head Coach Bill Stewart. Really, love. L-O-V-E.

Is it because he's a good coach? Nope. Is it because he's a nice guy? Nope. Is it because he's not Rich Rodriguez? Close, but still no. It's because he's the best public speaker since Patrick Henry.

Seriously, watch this video. I know, I know, we've all seen it before. But seriously watch it this time. Especially watch at the :44 mark where he goes off script and starts making up words.

You see that? What better advice to give to a team than "attackle?" C'mon, it's a lethal combination of attack and tackle. There's no way Oklahoma was ready for that shit. They might as well not even come out on the field.

I would love to see this as a Tshirt

On the front: “Mountaineer Pride”

On the back: “FROM THE HEART!”

Dude……I love those lockeroom pep talks. It gives me goosebumps watching it. Is it August yet?

He’s right about never leaving your wing man. I left my wing man once and he ended up in the arms of a chubby girl. And no one likes to see that.

I hate to ruin the party … but

I believe he says “attack’em” not “attackle”.

Ah … the hell with it … if Stew wants WVU to “attackle” them, then I’m behind him 100%!!!!!!!!

the full HIGH QUALITY version is included on the new DVD Mountaineer Pride (MAC club sent it to me for my donation), along with Owen’s classic post-Fiesta comments. Can anybody get the HQ version ripped and posted?
