An excerpt from the last speech made by Wisconsin's beloved, Vince Lombardi:

"I believe that man's greatest hour, in fact -- his greatest fulfillment, his finest fulfillment, is that moment when he has worked his heart out for a good cause and lies exhausted but victorious on the field of battle -- whenever -- wherever that field of battle may be -- in your business, in my business, wherever.

Success in life is a matter not so much of talent and not so much of opportunity but rather of concentration and perseverance. The man who succeeds above his fellow man is the man who early in life clearly decides his objective and towards that objective he directs all of his powers."

As the head coach of Wisconsin's storied football franchise, the Green Bay Packers, Lombardi led his team to multiple championships in the 1960's. Forty years after his passing, his team's winning tradition continued with the Packers successfully battling for the title of Super Bowl XLV Champions (Go Cowboys in 2012! lol).

Is this the year for ANOTHER Wisconsin competitor to win yet another title? Miss Wisconsin USA 2011, Shaletta Porterfield will compete for the coveted title of Miss USA 2011 on June 19, 2011 in Las Vegas at the Planet Hollywood. Watch her exclusive thePageantGuy.com interview below and on NBC for the Miss USA 2011 pageant!

In 2003, a Prime Minister said the following:

"Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere.

Often, it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there -- fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know, none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge -- they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaking suspicion...Love Actually is all around."

In the midst of current events where calamity and terror has stuck all across the world, it's easy to turn on the news and say that we live in a world of hatred and greed. However -- if you look for it -- you'll see that it is the act of love and kindness that brings people together to overcome adversity. As the daughter of a breast cancer survivor, Brandi Schoenberg, knows of such things.

Introducing Miss North Dakota USA 2011, Brandi Schoenberg for thePageantGuy.com! Be sure to watch her and 50 others battle for the title of Miss USA 2011 on June 19th, 2011 on NBC, live from Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas!

Written by S. Carter and rocked by A. Keys:

"In New York, concrete jungle where dreams are made of,
There's nothing you can’t do, now you're in New York,
These streets will make you feel brand new, big lights will inspire you,
Let's hear it for New York, New York, New York..."

Let's hear it for Miss Montana USA 2011, Brittany Wiser, as she braved the New York, New York Roller Coaster in Las Vegas with thePageantGuy.com Correspondent, Kelly George and "Yours Truly" for yet another adrenaline packed interview (the first being the interview with Miss Texas USA 2010 at the Gun Range).

Ironically enough, Brittany's next adrenaline ride will be in Las Vegas -- but it won't be a roller coaster. Watch Miss Montana USA 2011 on June 19th at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas on NBC to compete for the coveted Miss USA 2011 crown and to spend a year of her reign of all places...New York!
