    I am very happy for Nolan Richardson he deserves every recognition.  Congratulations to Nolan Richardson for being inducted into the Texas Hall of Fame.

[1994]

I love Nolan's speeches. It's not because I take pride in his accomplishments. It's not because of his clever jokes. It's not because of the great stories of the journey he's taken getting there. It's because I set on the edge of my seat, somewhere between excitement and fear, waiting on what going to say next. Love the Man.

Great assessment.

Love the story about Big "O" and losing. Laughed out loud.

Edit: Still listening. The story about "get agressisve" was even better.

...somewhere between excitement and fear...

Probably the best description of the feeling that I have ever seen.
