Einterz gets Braveheart!

Seth Einterz '11 -- This is Seth Einterz, from Zionsville, IN, checking in before Cross Country and after Physics homework. Just wanted to give you a couple thoughts about the race on Saturday. We were racing alumni, and some of these guys were wicked good, all-Americans and what-not, and I’ll admit that I was a little afraid that they would beat us. But I came up on this kid, and I was like, “Who are you?”

And he says, “I am Samuel Compton-Craig.”

So I say, “No you’re not.”

And he says, I AM Compton-Craig! And I see a whole team of current Wallies, here, in defiance of all-Americans. You've come to run as Little Giants, and Little Giants you are. What will you do with that title? Will you run?

And I said, “Against all-Americans like that? No, we will walk, and we will live.”

But Sam said, “Aye, run and you may die, walk, and you'll live... at least a while. And dying in your beds, many years from now, would you be willin' to trade ALL the days, from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell our Alumni that they may take our lives, but they'll never take... OUR VICTORY!”...

Needless to say, we beat them, and we didn’t even have to take our kilts off.

Seth, just wanted to let you know that you are seth-sational.

Seth, this killed me. Very funny. I was just checking for news and came across this. I will try to follow more carefully. Funny, multilayered, true film/liberal arts humor.

(Time was, I taught film classes and know the scene you are talking about well from using it in leadership workshops.)
