One of the movies I remember most clearly from growing up is “Meatballs.”
And the pivotal scene? (okay, younglings, use your “bill murray” voice on this one, in case you weren’t sure; the movie was probably before your time)
In response to: “The Mohawks have beaten us the last 10 years, they’re gonna beat us again.”
That’s just the attitude we don’t need, Phil.
Sure, Mohawk has beaten us 10 years in a row.
Sure, they’re terrific athletes. They have the best equipment available.
Hell, every team they’re sending here has their own personal masseuse. Not masseur. Masseuse.But it doesn’t matter.
Do you know that every Mohawk competitor has an electrocardiogram…
blood and urine tests every 6 hours…
to see if there’s any change in his physical condition?Do you know that they use the most sophisticated training methods…
from the Soviet Union, East and West Germany…
and the newest Olympic power, Trinidad-Tobago?But it doesn’t matter. It just doesn’t matter!
I tell you, it just doesn’t matter!Even! Even if we win…
If we win! Ha!
Even if we play so far over our heads…
that our noses bleed for a week to ten days…even if God in heaven above…
comes down and points His hand at our side of the field…even if every man, woman and child…
held hands together and prayed for us to win…
it just wouldn’t matter…
because all the really good-looking girls…would still go out with a guy from Mohawk…
’cause they got all the money!It just doesn’t matter if we win or we lose!
Sums my attitude up pretty well right now.
