Two fine class acts to have as a face for the athletics of this University.

12/1/2010 7:25:43 PM

Thank you. They just played it on ESPN before the game. Watch that speech and tell me it doesn't move you. I dare you.

I cry every time I hear the ESPY speech.

The V Foundation built the Valvano Day Hospital at DUMC that was home to me and my son one day a week for over a year. The Day Hospital is a wonderful place for the families of ill children.

12/1/2010 7:41:34 PM

12/1/2010 8:03:13 PM

It's a shame that it was followed by such an abortion of a game.

Awful, awful, awful.

12/1/2010 9:28:19 PM

Yes it is but I guess the phrase "never give up" has more meaning now.

12/2/2010 11:45:38 AM

Jimmy V cheated. But I agree, his speech was very inspirational in a "cheaters can be good public speakers too" kind of way.

12/2/2010 11:57:36 AM

Oh look, the closet UNC and Duke fans joined the thread.

seriously, nothin says i gotta respect that damn man just because I go to state

I focus on positive role models not those who tried to get over.

12/2/2010 12:13:41 PM

the man created the Jimmy V foundation for Cancer (with ESPN's help)

that isn't a good thing?

that isn't being a positive role model?

Hitler could create some cancer foundation and I guess that would absolve him.

12/2/2010 12:15:20 PM

So fucking what that he turned away from the dark side when he was staring death in the face. Before he was diagnosed he was a fucking scumbag.

12/2/2010 12:15:35 PM

wow you just compared Jimmy V to Hitler



oh look, we got a troll

no I just ignored it

12/2/2010 12:17:24 PM

but you didnt because you made a comment on it...

12/2/2010 12:17:48 PM

I am expressing my true and honest opinion, and I am not doing so simply to get a rise out of you. I am not trolling.

12/2/2010 12:17:53 PM

i havent even watched the speech it wretches my stomach

i cant watch that dude stand up there perpetrating

12/2/2010 12:18:31 PM

k well that foundation helps a lot of people including my grandfather as of right now

so, in my opinion, he is an inspirational person that helped and is still helping A SHITLOAD of people

so did Darth Vader, and he was the shit

so was Jimmy V, he brought a title to NC State, when is that gonna happen again?

12/2/2010 12:20:00 PM

lol who knows

12/2/2010 12:21:29 PM

clearly we need real heroes if all it takes is a title to lionize a guy.

that or a more consistent athletic program

i havent once referrred to the god damn title

IM TALKING ABOUT THE MOTHERFUCKING V FOUNDATION FOR CANCER RESEARCH YOU FUCKING ASS

THAT SPEACH IS ABOUT NOT GIVING UP ON LIFE AND ALWAYS FIGHTING THROUGH ANYTHING. ITS ABOUT APPRECIATING THE MOMENTS YOU HAVE BECAUSE ONE DAY THEY WILL BE GONE.

THIS THREAD IS ABOUT PEOPLE FIGHTING THROUGH CANCER FOR A HELL OF A LOT LONGER THAN MOST


BUT YOU GO ON AND KEEP HATING CUS THATS WHAT HATERS DO
