I was wondering if anybody was going to put this up. This was great stuff. She was the third and final speaker of the afternoon, representing the College of Technology. She talked about the first days of practice and going to Montana this past year, and when she mentioned being late to class the first day of school because the bus took her to Kroger, that was the LOL moment of the ceremony.

I half expected her to say something like, "we made it to three NCAA tournaments, and it would've been four if those jerks in Indianapolis had any brains." It was a great speech.

But...Whitney isn't a jackass, so she focused on the positive...

It's probably about 3/4 of the way through.
