Like many people, Western Michigan Broncos head coach P.J. Fleck subscribes to the teachings of DJ Khaled. Last year, after Western Michigan defeated Middle Tennessee 45-31 in the Popeyes Bahamas Bowl, winning their first bowl game in school history, Fleck strutted around the field, literally soaking in the moment with his clothes drenched in Gatorade. As the eccentric coach embraced one of his players, someone nearby can be heard shouting, "Another one! Another one!"

Prior to the Broncos' match-up against the Wisconsin Badgers in the Cotton Bowl earlier today, Fleck delivered a DJ Khaled-inspired pre-game speech to his players.  

While Fleck's speech failed to effectively inspire the Broncos, who lost to the Badgers, 24-16, it definitely made some people on Twitter want to run through a wall.  

I don't know about you, but I'm gonna go run through a brick wall after that PJ Fleck speech
