            CONGRATULATIONS TO FLORIDA GULF COAST UNIVERSITY

  (Mr. DeSANTIS asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DeSANTIS. Mr. Speaker, I am here to congratulate a team that 
captivated the Nation with style, swagger, heart, and class. I'm 
talking about four letters that few people have ever heard of until 
just March--that is FGCU--put on the map by their men's basketball 
team. As a Representative and servant of southwest Florida, I am so 
proud to have Florida Gulf Coast University in my backyard--our 
backyard, our home--now known as ``Dunk City.''
  The men's basketball team and the university itself have only been 
around for, basically, a few years. Heck, the players are actually 
older than the school itself. Now, this was only FGCU's second year of 
Division 1 eligibility, and in their second year they went all the way 
to the sweet 16--busting brackets, knocking down threes and, of course, 
representing Dunk City with a total of 148 dunks this year.
  I am proud to represent Dunk City. I am proud of our young team and 
our young campus of Florida Gulf Coast University, and we all look 
forward to another stunning season next year.
