Don’t Flinch

[BleedBlue4Shoe86]

Okay. So to piggy back on another topic, I watched Ballard’s interview with Colin Cowherd and absolutely loved something he said about adversity. When asked about being left at the altar by “he who will not be named” , he stated something that I loved. 

 

Not quoting exactly: “when I was at Wisconsin playing for Barry Alvarez, he told us that we will encounter adversity and setbacks, but WE WILL NOT FLINCH.”

 

I love it. I think that should be are rallying cry/motto/ team saying... DON’T FLINCH

 

What do y’all think?

 

Also, any chance someone could work up some mobile wallpaper of computer background with that saying?

"Don't Flinch"

"You in or you out?"

"The Rivalry is back on"

 

Ballard's giving us a lot of motto's to work off of right now.

I’ll love it a lot more if he builds a team that wins on the field.

Talk and words mean literally nothing. This year needs to have some sort of positive outcome. It’s been too long coming

I am sure it will, with Luck back you can add 4 wins, then with another Draft + Free Agency we may be a 10-6 team with Reich Coaching. We lost 6 games by 7 points or less last season, that wont happen with Luck.

I wonder if Ballard has a name on a post-it note so he won't get didtracted by the hype? I hope he doesnt get mad and break a laptop and lose his note.

He's probably eating Chicken and Waffles for breakfast, drinking coffee right now laughing at our Posts

Something I like about Ballard is that he doesn’t repeat the same cliches ad nauseam. Taking a quote he used in a Colin Cowherd interview and printing it on shirts, using it as a mantra, etc, sounds like some cute high school thing. I just want him to build a team that wins Super Bowls.

I agree.  Something that I didn't like about Pagano was the constant T shirts (Build the Monster, Hungry and Humble, etc...) 

 

I guess I look at this differently.  I just like that he preaches that no matter the adversity, we will not flinch.  This is something that I noticed on something else.  In the Catholics vs Convicts 30 for 30, the Notre Dame players talked about that Holtz preached all year that when adversity hits, they wouldn't flinch.  It just seems like something that could be beneficial for the players.  Basically, play your game, no matter what happens.

It’s raw - couldn’t access my normal stuff last night - but along these lines

thinking to himself " I can't wait to see how they react when we pick a quarterback" with that evil grin on his face.

Funny enough, as much as we hated Chuck's 'Paganoisms', I think Chris has developed some 'Ballardisms' himself.

 

I mean, has he given an interview yet where he doesn't say 'Let me say this'
