10.7 million people tuned in to the Cotton Bowl last Friday. That's incredible.

This is gonna sound like an insult. It kinda might be even if I don't intend it as such.
But a guy like Drink has to work HARD to get the kind of credibility for that speech to not make his guys just giggle. This tubby little nerdy guy with a squeaky voice and a kinda southern, kinda not accent is out there shouting "We're wilderness forged!!" I kinda liken it to Patton a bit. George C. Scott does a HELL of a Patton and frankly, Patton would've likely had an easier time if he looked and sounded like George C. Scott. But he was kindof a mousy/sinewy dude with a pretty nasal voice. If that guy was telling you "We're going to grease the treads of our tanks with their guts" and you weren't laughing at him, he ****ing earned that kind of capital. He got that kind of buy in through equity and not gravitas, if that makes any sense. In a way, that makes it quite a bit more impressive. I'm kinda curious how that plays over any real timeline. Is that the sort of thing that you actually build a wave behind? Or is it a very up and down sort of scenario? |

Here's what I mean:
It's kinda jarring. Patton the historical figure isn't nearly as impressive an orator on a surface level than Patton the Hollywood creation. And yet that dude got shit done. Guys worshipped him. So he must've worked his ass off to get that kind of loyalty and engender that kind of spirit. |
