Some goosebumps to go with your, errr, beer...

Whoa, close one. This 48 hour turnaround is wearing on me. Did you know that the final sentence of this speech ("Today, we celebrate, our INDEPENDENCE DAY!") was not in the original script, but was added in the final hour for dramatic effect, all part of an effort to convince 20th Century Fox to fight to use the term (usage of "Independence Day" was long a sticking point in the movie's production). In a Hollywood sorta way, that's kind of inspiring. Let's do this! Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh C! A! R! D! S! CARDS!!!

c'mon cards! remember last year, remember what those cocky huskies with their asshole coach (get better, but he's still a jerk!) did to us on ESPN. Two desperate, proud teams fighting for their tournament lives. Get comfortable, here comes a dogfight!
