There's no reason why Dean can't do the same.

Or at the very least, talk at a faster amount of words per minute.
We are living in a time that is a result of nations, cultures, and leaders building houses of straw and sticks. It takes a little more time to build a house of brick.

Agreed that the competition energy is a completely different energy than the focus that is required to pay attention to the speeches. It makes it difficult following the end of a long 3 days but the time spent is no less valuable. This is one of those, there are no easy answers or solutions, aspects of celebrating the culmination of a great FIRST season.
