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.

Two immortals of college football wrap up the bracket -- Bear Bryant and Bo Schembechler.

Bama legend Bear Bryant welcomed a freshman class to Tuscaloosa and said it is the little things that make champions. The most talented player doesn't always win; hard work wins.

Bo Schembechler gives his famous 'team' speech to his Michigan Wolverines before a 1983 game against Ohio State. The speech is now part of an interactive exhibit at the College Football Hall of Fame.

Now is your chance to select the best college football locker room speech. Vote in the right rail for today's speech and pick the best speech in college football.
