The heat stroke, the itchiness from the polyester gown, and the narcoleptic feelings after one final all-nighter were not alleviated by Mr. Rogers breaking into "It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood." But there was our graduation speaker, the late Fred Rogers, in one of his trademark sweaters, inquiring if we would be his neighbor, only minutes before we received our steel-toed reminder to get the hell off campus. Needless to say, we were not amused.

Regale us with tales of your commencement speaker and how they handled their wisdom dispensing duties. And give us your dream commencement speaker if you could pick anyone, and why? We'd take Charles Barkley because it'd be really funny, and there's a small chance he would say something controversial. Tell us yours.

The NBA Draft is less than a month away and players' stocks are rising and falling each day as they go through their individual workouts with teams. Last week, we asked which second-round players will have the biggest impact . The consensus choices: North Carolina's David Noel, Connecticut's Denham Brown, and West Virginia's Mike Gansey.

Today, however, is a day for superstars, not sleepers. Dwyane Wade running circles around the Pistons the last week got us thinking: When Wade left Marquette, did anyone think he’d be this good in the NBA? If you recall, Wade was drafted No. 5 overall in 2003, the same year as LeBron and Carmelo. At the time of the draft, however, all anyone could talk about was whether Detroit erred in selecting Darko Milicic over Anthony. The question now is whether Denver and Toronto made just as big a mistake in passing on Wade.

Looking at this year's draft, we want to know who will be the next Dwyane Wade. We like Connecticut’s Marcus Williams, who has played with NBA-caliber players throughout his college career and has never been afraid to take the big shot, and Temple's Mardy Collins, who has the handle and skills of a point guard and, at 6-foot-6, 220-pounds, the body of a shooting guard.

The Methodist College women's golf team recently won its ninth – count 'em, ninth – consecutive Division III national championship, which you would assume is currently unparalleled in college athletics except for the fact that the Kenyon men will be gunning for its (what-are-they-putting-in-the-water?) 28th consecutive Division III team swimming title next winter.

These amazing runs got us thinking: What are the other current under-the-radar team feats in college team sports? We’ll get the ball rolling by nominating the Stanford women's tennis team, which capped off an undefeated regular season (30-0) by winning its third straight national title while extending its consecutive match win streak to 86 matches. Is there a D-II consecutive basketball games with a 3-pointer streak we're unaware of? Is your intramural softball or successful quad streaking steak going unrecognized? We want to know.
