Nash is the first Santa Clara athlete whose jersey has been raised."This is obviously very exciting for me," Nash said. "I don't get a chance to come back to school often, so for me to be here is just great, and coupled with the huge honor it is to be able to be acknowledged for my career, is amazing and very humbling."Nash was recruited by coach Dick Davey, who still heads the Santa Clara program, and arrived at the Bay Area school from Canada in 1992. He led the Broncos to three berths in the NCAA Tournament and two regular-season titles in the West Coast Conference, winning the league's Player of the Year award in 1995 and 1996."I owe so much to my experience here," Nash told the students assembled for convocation. "All of you guys really need to take advantage of this and make the most of your opportunity here. I urge you to really get involved, to be balanced, to do well in school, and make as many friends as possible.''Copyright 2006 by The Associated Press</div>Link

It's in the San Francisco area. So that would help backup Pinoy-Balla's accusation of Nash being a fag.
