MCA - love it. I recently attended one of those "Dunkers" events and the guest speaker was Rob McClanahan from that team. Talk about a charmed life. Anyway, he brought up the account of Brooks during that gold medal game when they were down to the Finns he came into the dressing room turned to his players and said, "If you lose this game, you'll take it to your fucking graves." He then paused, took a few steps, turned again, said, "Your fucking graves," and walked out.

Goose bumps from this clip, so good.
Also got goose bumps when I saw that lineup and pictured a June night at Target Field...this is starting to make that loss two weeks ago more a fading memory.

by the way, the 1980 olympic talk made me want to go pull up that SI cover from that game - the only time SI has ever run a cover without a caption. That says something pretty incredible in and of itself. It never stops getting me excited.
About what, I have no idea.
