Just a motivational ploy. If the players buy in, it's good. He is very good at these things. I know the folks up here in Ohio don't think the Vols are the worst team in the Sweet 16 and are very concerned about this game.
I doubt anyone on this sight can question CBP's ability to motivate this team. And you could definitely make the argument that UT is the worst team left. But the best team doesn't always win.
"We might be the wortht team in the Thweet Thixteen -- we might be. We might be the wortht team in the Thweet Thixteen and Ohio Thtate might be the betht. But that'th why you play the game."
