[Congressional Record (Bound Edition), Volume 156 (2010), Part 5] [Extensions of Remarks] [Page 6439] [From the U.S. Government Publishing Office, www.gpo.gov]CONGRATULATING BUTLER UNIVERSITY ON REACHING THE NCAA MEN'S BASKETBALL NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP ______ HON. ANDRE CARSON of indiana in the house of representatives Tuesday, April 27, 2010 Mr. CARSON of Indiana. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate my hometown Butler Bulldogs on their first ever run to the NCAA Men's Basketball Championship Game. While their loss to Duke was painful for fans of the Bulldog faithful, it was a great ride and the entire State of Indiana was ecstatic to be a part of it. The game itself was nothing short of epic. Fifteen lead changes. Two shots to win it in the final thirteen seconds. But most importantly, both teams represented the peak of success on AND off the court. While many athletic programs focus on attracting NBA prospects instead of student athletes, we saw two schools with 90-percent-plus graduation rates playing for the national championship. This run allowed the Bulldogs to introduce America to something we know as the Butler Way--which means playing with character and toughness, and placing team above self. In the end, Duke took home the championship, but Butler won the hearts of the American people. Mark my words--Butler will be back again next year running with the big dogs--winning their way. The Butler Way. ____________________
