Brian Kelly just gave the best halftime speech since Al Pacino in Any Given Sunday (Video)

Brian Kelly provided us with the greatest halftime speech of all time.

If Brian Kelly’s halftime speech vs. South Florida doesn’t give you chills, you must feel nothing.

His Notre Dame Fighting Irish were already up big on a bewildered South Florida Bulls team. With nothing but shutout on his mind, Kelly decided No More Mr. Nice Guy. They say, running up the score on a bad team is not being nice, but too bad nice guys finish last. While South Florida runs out of gas, we’re all running through brick walls to play like a champion today for Coach Kelly.

Why Eat a W or yell, “Playmakers on three!”, when you can shut out USF?

When people ask you to give a speech, this is what the definition of it should be. You must mess with your face mask, demand a shutout and kick Mr. Nice Guy to the curb or throw him into a mosh pit like that poor chicken at an Alice Cooper concert. Though he’s not asking for death, as Kelly only wants a shutout, the effect is the same. Now we’re ready to run through a barbed-wire fence.

This is the best halftime speech since Al Pacino’s character Coach Tony D’Amato gave the inch-by-inch motivational talk in Any Given Sunday.

The only way this speech could have been any better is if the closest approximation to Willie Beamen, who makes the Bulls go screamin’, look at Kelly and said, “I’m 18 and I like it!” School may not be out for summer, but you’re essentially poison to Kelly if you allow South Florida to score any points on you whatsoever in your Hoosier-y football cathedral. Shutout, shutout!

If Notre Dame allows a single point to South Florida, Kelly will be more disappointed than Coach Yoast was when Petey couldn’t get it together and Ryan Gosling had to play. All we know is we remember the Titans had a really cool pre-game ritual that has been often replicated and never quite mastered by anyone else. Too bad Mr. Nice Guy has no time for those extracurriculars.

We didn’t know Kelly had a nickname until this Saturday, but it’s No More Mr. Nice Guy they say.
