 Well, look, you hold it for me, then. You have music and stuff? Right now. Where's she going? Can you bring it? She's done this. Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the United States. Well, good afternoon and welcome to the White House. Coach Crum and Coach Conrad and members of the Cardinals and the Lady Longhorns, congratulations to you all. Since we have both your teams here today, we're thinking of setting up a couple of hoops on either end of the Rose Garden here and letting you play off against each other. The White House gardener wouldn't allow it. Both of your teams played some of the most exciting basketball since the game was invented. And I can say that with some authority, I was around when the game was first invented. But two freshmen became national stars this championship season. First, never-nervous Purvis. As his teammates sometimes call him, Purvis, your lay-in of Jeff Hall's air ball and your two free throws with only 27 seconds left demonstrated real promise. They tell me you're only 19. At the time you reach my age, you're going to be quite a basketball player. And for the Lady Longhorns, there's Clarissa Davis with 24 points and 14 rebounds. Clarissa, you're a rising star on a team full of star players and fully deserved being named most valuable player. I'd like to single out each of you individually for praise and you all deserve it. You know that your victories were the result of many years of hard labor and dedication, individual effort and teamwork. You've experienced disappointments as well as triumphs, but you stuck with it to become some of the best college talent on the floor. You can all be very proud of this accomplishment. You reached for excellence in the tournaments and you grabbed hold of it. I know we're going to be seeing a lot more of all of you, so congratulations on a job well done and God bless you all. Thank you. On behalf of the University of Louisville, I'd like to take this opportunity to tell our president that we admire very much his willingness and ability to make decisions under stress because as coaches we do that and we think he does a great job at that and we have a young man here, a senior on our team, Billy Thompson, who has a presentation to make. Billy? We would like to thank Mr. President for inviting us here today and on behalf of the seniors, on behalf of the underclassmen, on behalf of the schools, faculty, and on behalf of the coaching staff, we would like to present you with this basketball. Well, thank you very much. Thank you very much. I think now I'll just step down here in the middle. I know we want a group picture and I won't have to worry about standing in front of them. I won't be blocking anyone. I guess it might lend us cameras. I too would like to say thanks very much. This team has been associated with a year of highlights but this is certainly the high of the highs and we appreciate the opportunity to be here. We've chosen to represent our team, a player that I wanted to tell you a little story about her, Mr. President, just before our final game for the NCAA championship. They were, I thought, meditating about how they were going to play and what was going to happen during the game. But one of the players, Cara Pretti, a senior, was sitting over in the corner with her eyes closed. I really thought she was asleep. I questioned her about her intensity and was she ready to play. The players informed me that she had already told them what she was thinking about and that was what she was going to wear when she got to go to the White House to meet the President. So I thought it only appropriate that you should have an opportunity to see her dress and to hear from her. On behalf of my teammates and the University of Texas, I'd like to present this Bernoulli Texas Longhorn jacket to you, Mr. President. On behalf of our appreciation and thanks, we're just an awe of being here and I love you. Well, thank you very much. Thank you. You want to hold it for a minute? You don't mind, fellas, just wait here. I'm going down here. That girl got it. She took it from me. She's over there. Good catch. Good hands. Thank you for having me. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. We're thinking about you.
