So Chip Kelly addressed the throng of Bruin students and fans at the Beat SC Rally Thursday night, and it was painful to listen to him talk. His raspy voice and sore throat indicates he is either fighting a cold, or, he’s been yelling at his players in practice, getting ready for the one game that could salvage his season. I hope it’s the latter, and I hope it works.
Kelly is a great motivator, and Rivalry Games often turn on emotion instead of just skill/talent. Kelly showed the crowd a piece of his motivational arsenal — a video of a bear cub trying repeatedly to climb a snow-covered cliff to get to his parent.
