I love Bum Phillips, I was HUGE Oiler fan in the day!!!

I remember after the Oilers lost the AFC Championship in 1980, Bum gave the famous “door” speech. There at the old Astrodome, in front of several thousand men, women, and kids, he said the following:

“Last year, we knocked on the door. This year, we pounded on it. Next year, we’re gonna kick the sonovabitch in!”

Gotta like Bum Phillips, even if you ain’t a Texan.
