For those of your who may not have seen the 3 - 4 min video about Blake and Wilson Holloway's friendship on ESPN, it is a wonderful touching story. ESPN played it several times. Everyone connected with OU Basketball and Blake through his highschool years, knows how special that relationship was.

JIMDEE, thanks for sharing that. I admit I kinda forgot about all that was going on with Blake and his friend Wilson back then. Didn't Blake give the trophy to the family or something like that?

It's hard not to get choked up when you watch that story. It was very well done.

Yeah I was fighting back tears this morning on the elliptical at the gym when I saw the segment air.
