Hail David!

Just got done hosting the OVC Awards banquet in Nashville. I know what most of you are thinking, it’s the OVC and you’re not that impressed. Let me just say I love the little guy! The OVC is not the most glamorous league out there, its teams do not steal all of the headlines and they don’t get much time on ESPN. That is until they pull off the upset.
My point, you may not love the OVC or any of the teams in it, but everybody loves the underdog. When David battled Goliath I don’t recall hearing a lot about the big guys cheering section. George Mason is a perfect example. Who didn’t want to see that team make it to the Final Four? So while, I don’t get jazzed to see Jacksonville State square off with Austin Peay, everyone gets excited when one of them takes North Carolina to the wire. That’s the ultimate drama in sports, the unexpected and the feeling that anything is possible. In sports the bottom line is anything is possible if you dream big enough and try hard enough. Just a few thoughts and words of inspiration for you underdogs everywhere!!! Good luck and thanks to the OVC for having me, it was an honor.
