I’ve been working on developing a new philosophy, sort of a Zen-like set of guidelines to help one get through the everyday trials of life.
Life, and, uh, football.
It’s called The Way of the Sweater Vest.
I’ve identified a few tenets of its teachings, but I’d like to hear your thoughts about what else should be added to the list.
- One Game At A Time.
- The Punt Is The Most Important Play In Football.
- Do Something Every Day To Prepare To Beat Michigan.
- Great Teams Play Great In November.
- Don’t Shrink From A Challenge; Embrace It.
- Don’t Talk About Injuries.
- Praise The Seniors Above All Others.
What else?

…The team that sings together wins together.
…this next one may be blasphemous but it is OSU-UM week…In Troy we trust.
…Confidence is contagious.
…Set your goals high, very high, and expect to achieve them.
