Re: 1st Season
Sims , Followed by Lewis and Nevers, as well as Fry, the other cpoaches were going up to the Booth, came in. Miles shouted for all the Muisc to stop, EVeryone Looked up, either standing or sitting ( Adam stood up). Sloan Kicked Given's chair out from underhim to wake him up..there was a short burst of nervous laughter as the Tall WR scrambled to get up, Blinking his eyes. Tali slipped in to be with the team for the pregane talk....
Looking over the team,Sims began. though he appeared calm, there was alos a grim look on his face. the hard edge of barely contained Violence, that those who same him play, knew well.
...This is It. I congradulate all of you who are on the team. We sent many folks away since MAy...there is a good chance , not all of you will be hear at the end of the season. This..the begining of the Dragon Story...the begining of some of your careers...perhaps..the end of others....If you all...give your all...we might still be doing this in In the Rosebowl, in Febuary... he lrt the thought of the Superbowl site settle in for a moment.
...but...this is just the first step. Out there.... he points to the doorway that leads to the tunnel, that leads to the field,...are fans who have cheered thier hearts out for us, even though, it was just preseason....there are stree stadiums full off people...two of those stadiums, people are sitting in seats, just to watch us on the Giant Vid Screens...there will be at least that many people in the parking lot, tailgating and watching on TVs the hooked up...we have a Team on Fine LAdies who will be cheering...helping to get the fans behind us...and thier Job is frustrating....They can only watch...only shout...and hope they can help....Me? And the other Coaches...we get to call plays, pick people...so we have a small hand in this....BUt all of...YOU! the last word was a shout, that echoed off the walls,He shouted it again,..YOU!....Are on the Field...YOU...make the plays, make the tackles...make the differance in this game......
His voice lowered a bit as he said,..think not, about yourselves...but of those people who will be watching...Reward those who cheer for us...punish those who cheer against us, you can do both, by playing at your best...your hardest.... Now? The TV guys want our Offesne to be introduced first...the Cowboys Defesne is being introduced as we speak....Duke will be last, Adam, Ben, right before them...Miles? You and the O-line will be first....now....lower your heads...thsoe who believe....a prayer for safety..a prayer to give yourselfs and your teamamtes heart...for those who don't believe..thing about your teammates, and the fans.......
The room was deadly quiet...the occasional sounf of pads creaking as a player shifted,,,Sims Looked up...the look on his face, down right evil as he said..his voice rising as the knock on the door came for the team to come out,NOW.....GOP SHOW THEM...GO SHOW THE WORLD....HERE THERE BE DRAGONS!
the Door was hit By Miles, and the TV guy with a headset on jumped back as the Dragons ran out the door towards the opening of the Tunnel, another man with a headset, and a second one with a clip board stopped them from coming out on the filed...just yet...from the mouth of the tunnel, they could see the Dragonettes Lined up...a HUge Inflated Dragon head was set at the Mouth...smoke coming from the sides of its Jaws...the stadium above the shook, as the FAns were doing the Dragon Stomp...the Dragonettes Stomped 'in place'..as the looked eagerly towards the tunnel for the Dragons to be announced...the people the dragons could see, made the stadium look like a sea of Green Black and white as the MOved in the stands..stomping for thier team....A Blimp with Snoopy on, was visible as it circled the Stadium...Helcopters and a few Cessna's towing signs in the air....The Sun was bright, not a cloud int he sky, and the Temp was some 89 degrees ( 99+ on the field)...
The TV guy with Bright Red gloves Signaled the guys at the Tunnel, and the Intros were about to begin.....
