FNC’s Shepard Smith returned to Ole Miss yesterday to deliver the commencement address. The focus of his speech “10 seconds”
Smith said, “On a normal day, 10 seconds later, a loved one can drop to a knee and say those words you so wanted to hear, but now you can’t believe it’s happening. On a normal day, 10 seconds later, the phone can ring and that job is there halfway across the country. Ten seconds later, Tyree can catch a pass between his hand and his helmet — the great escape can happen, and our guy can be the Super Bowl MVP.”
Smith majored in journalism at the Oxford, MS university but left a few credits short of graduation requirements.
Also giving commencement addresses this weekend, Hoda Kotb at Virginia Tech, Chris Matthews at Old Dominion, John Quinones at St. Mary’s (San Antonio), Cokie Robin Roberts at Miami of Ohio, and Bob Woodruff at Syracuse.
