From Saturday Down South:
Then came the loss to Alabama in the SEC Championship Game, and a reset of sorts for a program and a group of players that seemed destined to win it all.
All it took was a second chance.
“We told them we’re burning the boats,” Smart said of his pregame speech, a reference to Hernán Cortés arriving in the New World in 1519 and destroying his ships.
Cortes’ message to his men then was clear: There’s no turning back.
There was a Vandy ReVealed with Coach Poach where he said basically the same thing during the halftime of a game (I think UT) "turn around. The Boats are burning."

Well, if Cortez said it first, then it seems to me they're both plagiarizing.
