Get it?

How about this:

"Winning is never final. But losing can be." -- Bill Parcells.

Now do you get it?


- A cultivated mind is the guardian genius of democracy.

-I'd rather be a football coach. That way you can lose only 11 games a season. I lost 11 games in December alone!
-- Abe Lemons

Good one, Wes. Goes in the book.

Look, Children. Here's the deal:

DO YOU WANT TO TRADE PLACES WITH LHCGP? DO YOU?

DO YOU WANT TO HAVE TO WIN EVERY DADGUM GAME EVERY DADGUM YEAR OR THE SCREECHING "FANS" WILL GET ALL PISSY AND TAKE AWAY THEIR TOYS AND AFFECTION? THESE PEOPLE WHO EVEN IN THEIR MOST SOLICITOUS MOMENTS STILL ONLY GIVE THE TEAM A FRACTION OF THEIR ATTENTION, AS THEIR FAMILY, JOB AND LATEST BOWEL MOVEMENT ALL TAKE PRIORITY? AND RELYING FOR THESE WINS ON WHAT ARE ESSENTIALLY KIDS?

DO YOU WANT TO "WIN IT ALL" ONLY TO HAVE PEOPLE WITHIN MOMENTS AFTERWARDS WONDERING IF YOU CAN DO IT ALL NEXT YEAR?

IS THAT HOW THINGS WORK AT YOUR JOB?

You people make Steel sick.

You pathetic puke. Grow a pair. You make me sick, ya coward. You think GP gives a crap about what other people think? DO YA?!? Well you're wrong. He doesn't. He built this program because he believes in himself, his coaching staff, and the kids he coaches. Especially the kids he coaches. And he's DAMN proud of his kids. The record shows it.

He didn't need any [ "illegitimate Baylor boys" ] telling him he's great. He knew if he worked hard, he'd prevail. The screeching fans came to him, not the other way around. He could care less about the toys and affection of the fans. He knows who his true fans are, and it certainly ain't a puke POS like you ready to give up at the first loss.

So get off yer soapbox and go back to being the loser you know you are.

Puke.

Oh, did Steel ruffle your feathers? Stupid? Struck a nerve down there in your nether regions? You walking vagina?

Look here, the point Steel was making is simply this: In Steel's job, Steel is expected to kick butt daily. And is paid to do such. Steel kicks butt, and he's expected to get up the next day and kick butt again. And is paid to do such. And when he doesn't kick butt, there's the real possibility of no longer being paid. That's the Real World, Dummy. Built in motivation.

Sports is not the Real World. It's a made up world. It's a bit of a joke, frankly. We "fans"--sideline sitters (or standers if they're REALLY fanatical)--think we're cool when our team loses, and feel lower than a dog's balls when they lose. But there's this--we don't control ANY of it. NONE of it. AND YET, we still expect--DEMAND--a level of performance out of oaches leading unpaid kids that we don't expect of ourselves, or even aspire to. We sit and obsess over every statistic, every game, spend oodles of money to go to the games...and the kids who are performing for us get, what, WHAT? Not a dadgum thing, that's what! Concussions, torn knees, broken fingers, and on and on...Not money, damn little glory. Why do they do this?

Because of LHCGP. Heck, the Sad Sack Cowboys are highly paid and they don't play with a fraction of the motivation that LHCGP can motivate unpaid kids to play with.

The point is this--YOU ALL THINK YOU APPRECIATE WHAT LHCGP HAS DONE, BUT YOU DON'T HAVE A CLUE, MOST OF YOU. Least of all you, Dummy. LHCGP knows that success is a habit and can be gone when your habits grow flaccid. So, Yes, he yells at people. He isn't Nice sometimes. So what? He wins, he wins the right way, he graduates people. He is committed to excellence, in a way that You, Stupid, cannot understand. Winning is not a Some Time Thing, it's an All the Time Thing.

We're all destined to be recycled through the alimentary canal of a worm in the end, sooner or later, so why not tilt at windmills on kf.c and at "the Carter" during our slow (although quick in geological terms) and inevitable slog toward the Pit.
