Vote for The Great Locker Room Speech

There is no place on earth like a football locker room. Each locker room is unique, with its own set of rules, cliques and hierarchy. The head coach is the undisputed CEO of the locker room. When he speaks, players listen. Each coach has his own style to the locker room speech. Some are fire and brimstone, some are calm and collective. All have message.

Today's semifinal matchup features two great speeches, Bo Schembechler and Derrick Moore.

Schembechler gives his famous 'team' speech to his Michigan Wolverines before a 1983 game against Ohio State.

Derrick Moore is not the head football coach for Georgia Tech -- or even a coach at all. He is currently the team chaplin for the Yellow Jackets. His pre-game speeches have made him a YouTube sensation, and in this clip, he motivates the team before a 2007 contest against Notre Dame.

Now is your chance to select the best college football locker room speech. Vote in the right rail for your favorite of the two speeches below. The winner will advance to the next round and a champion will be crowned right before the kickoff of the 2014 season.
