absolutely clean; and what a fighter he was. His life was a great contribution to Vanderbilt—particularly to our athletic traditions. The influence of his spirit will always abide. He always wanted to play with Vanderbilt against Texas. His body is resting only a few miles south of here; but his spirit is hovering above us now. Some of these days i want to see his likeness looking down on your athletic fields. I am glad his father is here so that he can see face to face, how we regard his son.

Who the devil started all of this bunk about the Texas team? Who thinks they are unbeatable? They say that they have the greatest team in their history and, perhaps this is true. They say Vanderbilt never had a team which could defeat theirs of this year, and that is not true. Texas has no shield
571:
You are about to be put to an ordeal which will show the stuff that's in you! What a glorious chance you have! Every one of you is going to fix his status for all time in the minds and hearts of his teammates today. How you fight is what you will be remembered by. If any shirk, the Lord pity him.
575:
Man is a curious kind of a "critter." You will all doubtless eat and have comforts and "butt around" for a good many days, but during the next hour you must forget yourselves absolutely. You are to hurl yourselves like demons with the fury of hell on the crowd that has come here to humiliate us.
579:
I am glad Mr. Curry is here. Some of you knew Rabbit. We felt toward him all the tenderness a mother feels toward her own little boy. He had a little slender body; he weighed only 128 pounds, but he had a heart as big as that loving cup over there on the mantel. He was modest; his life was

Everything is in our favor.{{refn|group="n"|McGugin went on: "You have seen what the papers have been saying . . .They are betting Texas will beat you 20 to 0, they say you are a bunch of cowards. "Rabbit" Curry, whose father is sitting here with you, is looking down on you from his Eternal

It's pretty standard to keep them in there such as in the Michigan team articles for a variety of reasons. Take a look at the 1928 UF team and consider how lost you'd be given how many backfield stars played. The Phantom Four wasn't even the first string.
608:--a task even greater because it was accompanied by so much mud and misery. All but a few here are Tennesseans and the rest have elected to be educated here. You are a part of us and you must uphold the traditions of Vanderbilt and Tennessee. 587:
that this Vanderbilt team, this crowd of men into whose faces I now look, might win from Texas if it would only fight. Has anybody the right to imply such an insult? And, if so, when before now could such a thing be said of men from
222: 716:
It took me a few reads for this, but I'm guessing it means that each game up until this point was a shutout. Which would have to be true if the all-time series score was 184–4 and Georgia's only win was 4–0, no?
618:
Texas is overconfident. They say it will be a Texas landslide. If you will put every ounce of strength you have into the first fifteen minutes, they will ask themselves: 'What liars deceived us this way?'
356: 793: 140: 763: 130: 534: 515: 566:
In a noted speech just before the teams took the field, referring to this grave, McGugin tapped his fingers on the floor and told his boys:<ref name="50Years"/: -->

I don't think the starting lineup for each game is crucial, no? At least not in the prose. It'd trim quite a bit if you took them out.

like ours. We have some scars on it, but there are a lot of stars there, too. Texas has no such athletic tradition and history.

The man worth while is the man who can rise away above and beyond in the face of a great task. You must transcend yourselves.

That's right. It just speaks to the one-sidedness of the rivalry then.

Now is there any man here who will not fight every inch of the way?
