Brent sets the stage and welcomes us in to an all-time classic college football grudge match from South Bend.
For anyone who’s ever faced a personal challenge, it doesn’t get much better than the 'Six Minutes' speech in VISION QUEST. This scene wasn’t in the 1979 novel by Terry Davis. Elmo's monologue was written specifically for the film by screenwriter Darryl Ponicsan (THE LAST DETAIL, TAPS). Actor J. C. Quinn absolutely knocks it out of the park here.
If you’d like to support the @FMJDiary project, you can bid on an original poster below. I signed and inscribed it with Elmo’s iconic line: “It ain't the six minutes... it's what happens in that six minutes.”

It’s crazy how all these new PAC-12 fans act like Washington State and Oregon State were relevant in the old league. Let me remind you, they got left behind for a reason.
Rest in Peace, Sherm Lewis 🕯️
Three-time Super Bowl champion running backs coach of the #49ers' 1980s dynasty
Offensive coordinator of the 1990s #Packers renaissance — Super Bowl XXXI champion
Later OC for the Vikings and Lions
