Earlier, we showed you Senator Mitch McConnell's remarks about the debt ceiling.

Senator McConnell also spoke today about the passing of Coach Denny Crum of the University of Louisville.

Crum died yesterday at his home at the age of 86.

Crum led the Cardinals men's basketball team to national championships in 1980 and 1986.

He retired in 2001.

30 years.

Coach Crum, my alma mater, is basketball squad and loves the Cardinals to unprecedented success.

Denny revolutionized the program and transformed the team into a spectacle all Kentuckians were eager to tune in to.

He was a true legend.

Unique among coaches at that time.

Denny Shaw could play the toughest teams in the country early in the season.

No longer in those hard fought match ups would prepare the cards better than anything else for postseason success.

That bowl playbook earned the coach nicknames like Cool Hand Luke and for always keeping his eye on the big dance.

March.

Mr. March!

McConnell also praised Graham for his work as a fundraiser, helping raise money for scholarships and academic programs at the University of Louisville.
