Orangemen, I stand before you today not only as your fellow fan: I come to you as a brother; I come to you as a comrade; I come to you as an Orange man; I come to you with great humility.

I am not here to represent Boeheim; his actions speak louder than my words ever could. I am here for all those voices which cannot be heard: mothers, daughters, fathers, sons -- families that bleed orange for our rights, and for the very principles this Dome was built upon.

We are at war, gentlemen. We must send Otto's Army to aid our team in the preservation of not just ourselves, but of our children.

Send the Army for the preservation of liberty.
Send it for justice.
Send it for law and order.
Send it for reason.

But most importantly, send our Army for hope -- hope that a coach and his men have not been wasted to the pages of history -- that their courage bonds us together, that we are made stronger by their actions, and that your choices today reflect their bravery.

GO ORANGE! BEAT GEORGETOWN!
