Message: [QUOTE="Excalibur, post: 2156370, member: 62"] Randy Smith had a great column in the JI the following afternoon. I can't find it online but I still have a cut out of it -- "Put yourself at Fitzgerald Field House with the scoreboard reading 'Pitt 40, Visitor 15'. At that moment, all hidden doubts concerning your team and yourself have emerged, and are staring you smack dab in the face. If you're a phony, the conditions will expose you as a phony. If you're a pretender, you'll be exposed as a pretender. If you've got an ounce of quit in you, you'll quit. Adversity sometimes brings out the best in athletes and sometimes the worst, but it always brings out the real athlete -- good, bad, or somewhere in between. Down 25 in the other guy's building is a time for truth telling . . . ." [/QUOTE]
