OT: 20 Years Ago...

[jekelish]

...well, 20 years and one day, to be specific, Jim Valvano gave what has become one of the most indelible speeches of the last half century, at least.

You can dislike Jimmy V for his coaching and his recruiting tactics, but man...does it get any better than this?


(EDIT: If they ever make a movie about Jimmy V, Ray Romano has to play him, right? I mean, it's not even a close call...dude looks just like him)
