GOTC Revisited on ESPN Classic

Commenter "Yerke" notes on the CoogFans discussion board that last Friday night's episode of "Classic Now" (on ESPN Classic) marked the 38th anniversary of the Game of the Century by bringing on Houston sportscaster Bill Worrell and former Bruin assistant Denny Crum to discuss the Game. The CoogFans discussion thread is available here, then scroll down when the new page comes up.

"Although I was not at the Game of the Century (I was a little over five years old and living in Los Angeles at the time), I have always been fascinated by it. I grew up a big UCLA hoops fan and earned my Bachelor's degree there in 1984. Then, after receiving my Ph.D. from the University of Michigan in 1989, I did a two-year post-doctoral fellowship (1989-1991) at the University of Houston. I thus have formal ties to both UCLA and UH."
