Tech chaplain's stirring pre-game speech

Oct 8, 2014

Georgia Tech team chaplain Derrick Moore outdid himself Saturday night. Moore, whose duties include delivering pregame pep talks to the Yellow Jackets, gave a stirring exhortation to the team prior to the Tech-Miami game. Produced by Andy Blanton, Tech’s video production director, it's making the rounds on various blogs and social media. It's definitely worth watching.

If you're wondering, that's A-back Deon Hill to Moore's right and B-back Matt Connors and linebacker Tyler Marcordes to his left.

"We're gonna fight ... Till we can't fight no more ... We're gonna lie down ... Bleed awhile ... We're gonna get up ... Fight some more ... Go get 'em!" Someone should put that on a t-shirt.
