I was watching a show on the jimmyv cancer foundation the other night. He got his first basketball  job at Vanderbilt coaching the freshman team. He wanted to give an inspirational speech before his first game. So he reads a bunch of books and ran into a story about Lombardi coaching his first Packer game. He read " Lombardi crashes through the doors and stares at the players for 10 minutes, then Lombardi says says ' In order to be successful, you must focus on your family, your religion, and the Green Bay Packers'. Well jimmyv was inspired by that, and thought, that's what I'll do, Crash through the doors, stare at the players and tell them to focus on your family, your religion, and Vanderbilt!So the night of the first game, he crashes through the locker room doors (hurts his shoulder, he was only 21) and stares at his players. Then he says "men, if you want to be successful, focus on your family, your religion, and the Green Bay Packers!!!!"    True story. He died of cancer about 45 days after giving this speech in front of a TV audience.</blockquote>
