i never knew he had a speech problem, props for facing it head on and conquering his problem...is there anything he can't do?

[franzmovi]

bo knows speech

[WeAreTheEpic]

Pretty brave for a man who has struggled with a stutter for most of his life. Bo still knows.

[dresden24]

One of my favorite memories of him is how he's sit on the bumper of his new black Jeep after the games during his rookie year and sign autographs and joke with us fans for about an hour after most games.

Wow, when I lived in Kansas City, he was my hero. I hated baseball after the Royals dumped him when he got hurt. I have hours and hours of highlights from his playing days. I am amazed at how he has overcome his stuttering. This is the first time I've herard him speak since the early '90's and his progress is amazing. Way to go Bo!

A living legend

[woodmaj]

The man couldn't even speak to people when he came to Auburn. Amazing. WDE Bo knows...

[dperkins1911]

Bo being an alumnus is way more important than any of his athletic feats.

[aleutgirl]

Thanks for posting! Loved Bo back in the day. Good to see he's still keeping it positive.

[FrazierEmmanuel]

still to me the greatest athlete of all time

[hellstrife]

I'm an Alabama fan, so I'm supposed to hate Bo - but I'm also a Raiders fan (he played there), a White Sox fan (he played there), and a fellow stutterer - so I have to say, what an inspirational speech!

[juanmanuelmsn]

Bo knows commencement speeches!!!!!

[cre8ivedude]

Bo definitely knows!

[blairjs]

War Eagle! Pretty good speech from a guy who rarely ever does anything with the public.

[aubk]

[hakerhater24]

Go Bo Go!
