Before facing the reigning Michigan Wolverines in college football’s biggest stadium, Dan Lanning had his team recite Theodore Roosevelt’s famous words from “The Man in the Arena”:

“It is not the critic who matters; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of things could have done better. The praise belongs to the man who was actually in the arena, his face stained with dust, sweat and blood; striving valiantly; who makes mistakes and falls short again and again, because there is no effort without mistakes and flaws; but who actually strives to do these things; who knows great enthusiasm and great devotion; who devotes himself to a worthy cause; He who, at best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and at worst, if he fails, at least fails by showing great courage, so that his place will never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat. .”

“One of the best feelings when you’re on the road is quieting the crowd. Hell, we’re the bullseye, and by the way your fans are leaving at the three-minute mark. Remember every once in a while, ‘Timeout, what do you want, Coach?’ I said, ‘I just want you to look at the stands; these motherfuckers are leaving,’ and I got a big smile because those are going to be some of the moments you’ll enjoy the most.”
