Is blocking out important?  That is the one question I want to ask Jason Richardson after watching this clip.

Dick Bennett To His Wisconsin Team

“It is amazing how close you guys are off the floor. You really like each other. But the thing you lack for one another is a real love. You do not love one another to the point where you will say the things that need to be said, because you do not want to ruffle each other’s feathers. Well, that is just not good enough…I do not wish to treat friendship daintily, but with roughest courage…If you truly loved one another, you would make each other do what has to be done. In this case, you would chase each other down if someone was going to be late for a meal. You can’t always be best buddies and look the other way. Sometimes love is not always kind, it is tough. Until you experience that, you will not come together for a single purpose.

Fox NFL Sunday’s Curt Menefee Has Always Carried Coe And Cedar Rapids With Him

Once upon a time, a teenager from Atlanta took a chance on Coe College and Cedar Rapids.

It isn’t a fairy tale, but the story of Fox Sports’ NFL studio host Curt Menefee is a good one all the same.

Menefee was a 17-year-old from Atlanta who wanted to work in television, so he came to a city he didn’t know to attend a college that didn’t offer an academic entryway into the career he wanted.

“It defies logic, it really does,” Menefee said.

But while he was here in the mid-1980s, he applied the principles that he will share in his commencement speech at Coe on Sunday morning.

“Success is different from person to person,” Menefee said, “but we all have tools. I’ll talk about the three things I think it takes. You have to work hard, you have to be passionate, and you have to enjoy life. If you do those three things, you’ll be successful.”

For Butler, Success Lies In Bulldog Defense

STINGIEST SCHOOLS

Butler coach Brad Stevens credits his team's 24-game winning streak to its defense, which is among the nation's top 10 and hasn't allowed more than 70 points in a game since Dec. 8.

9. Butler (32-4) 59.6

10. Saint Louis (23-11) 59.7

Ronald Nored exhaled deeply during a phone interview Tuesday, sighing in relief at not being asked yet again about the similarities between Butler and the movie Hoosiers.

A Tribute To NBA Players Reaction To Fouls

After watching the Orlando Magic - Boston Celtics playoff game tonight, I have come to the realization that not a single player on either team (possibly any player in the NBA) believes they have ever committed a foul.  I found some visual evidence to support my theory.

Curt Menefee Delivers Commencement Speech

Below Is The Text To The Speech That
NFL Fox Sunday Analyst and 1987 Coe Graduate Curt Menefee
Gave At The 2010 Coe College Commencement ~

Thank you Dr. Dave, President Phifer, faculty, staff, students, friends, family, you name it...I thank you!!!
You know, this morning, I'm reminded of a song from my parents' generation that everybody knows...it goes, "I've got sunshine on a cloudy day....when it's cold outside, I've got the month of may"...
Well, only in Iowa can you get all of that, sunshine, clouds, cold, and may all at the same time!! But that's alright, because it we're all feeling "great" today, aren't we???...and we should be!!
Especially those of you sitting in those chairs wearing caps and gowns, and why shouldn't feel fantastic?? "you" are about to become Coe College graduates!! This is the greatest day of your life!! I know you feel it!!
It'll probably get even greater the faster I can finish this speech, give you a couple of minutes to blow off your family, so that you can then "really" celebrate with your friends!!!
Hey-let's be honest, that's what we do on special occasions, and trust me....as an alumnus of the Coe College class of '87, this "is" the greatest day of your life-so far.
