We would face the best ball players in Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, and Arkansas. Being on ESPN made us anxious, but when we started to win one game after another, it took off some of the weight we felt. It came down to the final game against East Texas, where we won in the last inning by an inside the park home run by Cain Castille. This…

continues to affect us today. Jim Valvano’s illustrious "Never Give Up, Don't Ever Give Up” speech is a prime example of this. This speech is about a man dying from cancer and as a result he asks people to donate money to cancer research by teaming up with ESPN to start the Jimmy V Foundation. James Thomas Anthony "Jim" Valvano was a NCAA men’s basketball head coach. As a head coach, he was known for winning…

In addition, ESPN, a subsidiary of Disney,…

Sports are one of America’s largest pastimes and are taken both seriously and also as a recreational activity. Since sports were invented, males have taken dominance on the playing field. One of the main reasons for this was their physicality and strength to participate at a great level. But, as time progressed, women began to become more involved into the sport culture.

I did keep track of the scoring plays with my ESPN alerts on my phone and let just say that Derek Henry was on FIRE! 236 yards for a running back? Derek Henry for Heisman everybody.

Why in the world is Leonard Fournette from LSU number…
