There is a "Play Like A Champion Today" sign in the Switzer Center. Have pics of it, but can't upload for some reason. The sign has to be ancient. (Way before Holtz ever dreamed of it) How is it said? Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery? lol

Here's a link to a story and picture of Wilkinson's "play like a champion" sign that now hangs in the Switzer Center.

Away from Norman, the OU equipment staff faithfully posts a travel version of the sign for the Sooners to touch as they depart the locker room for the field.

This is sure interesting, never knew this.

So, if Wilkinson brought it from Minnesota, isn't it possible that Holtz ALSO brought it from Minnesota, and therefore, they both originate from the same beginnings?

Why is this such a big deal?

Because **** Notre Dame, that's why.

I'm on board with that. Notre Damer's are the college football be-all, look at me, nancy-boys that have been riding on a cinemascope dreamscape for the last 30 years. They're has-beens and don't know it.

Because ND & Holtz don't say that he brought it from Minnesota. Even Minnesota doesn't try to claim it was theirs. Holtz says he was reading up on ND history and saw the sign in a book. He then stated it was old ND tradition and should be brought back. So he had the sign made and hung in the stairwell.

Holtz can't tell you what book he was reading and no one else has been able to produce it. No former players or coaches at ND have gone on record remembering the sign ever being at ND before Holtz. Yet, somehow, ND gets full credit for this tradition and the woman who painted the sign for Holtz was allowed to copyright it.

Exactly.Cause if it ain't Notre Dame,It ain't history. Too hell with the Gipper, Win one for Charlie Weis you pretentious has-been's.

I just know that Oklahoma State has a sign above their doorway as well.

It says: Don't forget your helmet.
