The man loved WVU and the state of West Virginia. I miss him each day.

I will always miss his enthusiasm and how much he cared about the players. Definitely one of the best sports speeches ever.

RIP Stew.. That video is better than any of the Hollywood "great speeches."

Unbelievable. The same loyal Mountaineer that gave some of the worst post game interviews I can think of gave one of the best pre-game speeches in world history.

I always love watching that speech no matter what. I feel like playing football right now.

I understand why they don't, but I still wish they showed that on the big screen before the games.
