As I briefly mentioned earlier, John Wooden will be speaking at Western Michigan University on August 22. Not exactly groundbreaking news, but what is somewhat interesting is that Coach Wooden gave a pep talk to the WMU players before they took on the Trojans last year at the Sports Arena. WMU still lost, but we appreciate the effort Coach! In fact, why not have Coach Wooden speak to every one of $C's opponents before games at the Sports Arena?

Also check out this very brief article on Coach Wooden - there is some controversy as to where Coach was actually born, and well, he really can't settle it.
