An old piece of plywood, painted white with small black letters on it. Nothing special. It's screwed to the wall outside the football locker room in a spot that most people would never see. But the location doesn't matter. The words that are painted on it are much more significant. The words are simple and come from an old Scottish ballad by Sir Andrew Barton.

And then I'll rise and fight again.
