My favorite part of the story, as told by Mike Eruzione, was the final words from the coach before the coach walked out of the locker room prior to the game with the Soviets. The coach stopped, turned back to the team, and said: "If you lose this game you'll take it to your f-ing graves." Turns around, then a pause, turns back to the team and just says, "Your f-ing graves."

Wow. Imagine hearing that under those circumstances!
