Senior football players have been giving "player talks" at the pep rally's for years. Two or three senior players come up to the microphone after the cheerleaders cheer. They tell the student body to come out to the game that night and support them. Often times these speeches are very predictable and boring. The players usually take turns talking each week so all the seniors players that want to talk are able to.
Patrick Miller, senior running back, has chosen to give "player talks" the past two weeks. Known for his sarcasm and humor, he has given very entertaining speeches. The first pep rally, Patrick gave the metaphor of playing Tattnall by "breaking up" with them. He explained to the students that they were going to beat them so bad, it would be like "breaking up with them" . The second pep rally Patrick told a story about running over a squrill with his car, by saying that they are gonna "run over" Stratford and beat them. Patrick always uses funny ways to entertain the student body to hope that the students will want to come to the game and cheer them on!
