Jimmy V 1993 ESPY award speech.

I'm pretty sure I only accomplish all three after 10 beers.

Great speech, I remember watching the whole thing for the first time when they re-ran it during this past NCAA tourney. Dickie V has new inspiration for his foundation this year with a little girl who recently died of cancer - they had an article on SI a few days ago and they've already raised a good chunk of change this year.

It's up there with the "I have a dream..." speech, imo...

[DannyOcean_]

This is the greatest speech i've ever heard. I've thought that for years. I've seen it ~20 times and i always tear up at the end.

It makes me think, makes me laugh, makes me cry. What a speech.

was this moved from oot?


good speech tho

[kcheel]

I was never a fan of Jimmy when he was a coach but yeah, that is a great speech. I also get a little misty when I see it also.

[Mr_Pathetic]

Another gem from the speech.

How do you go from where you are to where you want to be? I think you have to have an enthusiasm for life. You have to have a dream, a goal, and you have to be willing to work for it.

It's so crazy to me that he died one month and 24 days after this speech.
