You are Frank Beamer: what was your post-game speech up at Pitt?

  • "FIRE and BRIMSTONE" 1o1. Read anyone and everyone the O&M riot act. Ears will burn, and get everyone NOT directly associated with the team outta the lockerroom. N-o-w is the time to go all in. (61%, 386 Votes)
  • You say nothing, not a word, let "silence" speak volumes. You pull an assistant over and tell them: "start the bus". You don't watch the game-film. Burn it and start from Bowling Green scratch. (31%, 198 Votes)
  • You remind them that this is only one game. Go 'round the horn and be everyone's best friend. Pat them on the back, run your fingers though their hair. You do not kick a young team when it's down. (8%, 54 Votes)
