How much improving (jumping of levels) will Bedlam experience in the wake of the recent coaching transitions at the rival University of Oklahoma? I'm looking forward to those duals, aren't you?

Actually, the video I should have referred to in my comment below was "Be a Little Bit Different".

I have known Smith since the seventh grade and I can tell you that he just about always thought this way. That is what made him great and allowed him to accomplish everything that he has. I wish I had had this kind of dedication he is talking about. Smith's phenomenal career was a confluence of God given talent, family tradition, great coaching (a lot from his older brother) and most of all TREMENDOUS dedication, focus, work ethic and vision. If yopu watch the vid on "Maintain the Hunger" he admits that he was no more gifted than many- that he just worked very hard to maximize the things he did well. I am 43 years old now and still find this man and this message very inspiring.

This speech is really good. I totally agree with what he is saying and I believe that all fellow wrestlers should watch this and listen closely, I really learned alot.
