And Bosko puts in the VHS tape and watch Coach Nickerson before the Walnut Heights game, and shed tears:
"We haven't beaten Walnut Heights in my five years as coach. There are people out there who
don't think you're gonna do it. But there's 37 people
in this room who can. That's you, and that's me.
I don't think they know about the pain you're willing to endure.r.
In 48 minutes they're gonna find out who you are. You're gonna
make me proud. You guys are gonna
achieve some great successes. And I hope
and pray you do.
There's seldom gonna be a moment like tonight when you hold
it all in your hands. You can achieve something together
they can never take away. Your friends, your family, your
parents, your school, this town.
A win tonight is gonna give them something to be proud of.
We're the dagos, we're the Polacks, we're the ni***rs.
That's what you are. That's
what I am. That's what we are.
That's how we're gonna
win this game, together. Together. Together. TOgether.
We're gonna win
together. Come on down."
That Nickerson sure was talkin' son-a-bitch
