MIKE BARWIS WORKS ON LABOR DAY
09.01.08This video isn’t new, but it makes for good watchin’ while you drink a beer during what would ordinarily be working hours this Labor Day.
In case you’re not familiar, this is West Virginia (now Michigan) Strength and Conditioning Coach Mike Barwis before last year’s Fiesta Bowl, which the Mountaineers won over Oklahoma 48-28. One of the greatest pregame speeches of all time? No. No, not at all. But he does say the F-word a lot, so that’s nice. Reminds me of my childhood.

Minor point here – that cannot be last year’s Fiesta Bowl. It must be the Sugar Bowl from 3 years ago. Those are not the uniforms that WVU wore last season.
I like how all the players are just kind of going along with it, but no one seems truly surprised, nor motivated. Even the smattering of affirmative “whoos” sound placating.
Wow, that’s some hardcore fandom from wvu_sam.
