"If you work harder than somebody else, chances are you'll beat him though he has more talent than you."

"Desire and dedication are everything!"

"Coach Lombardi showed me that by working hard and using my mind, I could overcome my weakness to the point where I could be one of the best."


Seems to me that Ohio put these principles into practice vs. Marshall last Saturday.  

I'm also reminded of the last title won by the Boston Celtics with Bill Russell.  You think they had as much talent as the Lakers that season?  No way...but they won the title nonetheless.

Something in the water here?  I was name dropping Russell yesterday, too, in an entirely unrelated area but as a role model.  I wish today's younger NBA fans could watch Russell and his Celtic mates conduct themselves on and off court.  On second thought, maybe the players should watch, too.

Or just watch the current San Antonio Spurs, especially Tim Duncan.
