OK, it’s not football. But the event was big enough to warrant mention here. 50 years ago today, the invincible UCLA Bruins basketball team came into South Bend, riding an NCAA record 88 game winning streak. Just 20 days after the Irish football team upset mighty Alabama in the Sugar Bowl to win the national championship, the basketball team took down the 7-time defending champs 71-70, scoring the last 11 pts. of the game. I was there in person at both games. I can still see The Iceman, Dwight Clay, rising on the right baseline for the game winner. When we got up the next morning (OK, it might have been afternoon), the Irish were national champs in football and ranked #1 in basketball. Those were the days … https://www.wndu.com/video/2024/01/19/remembering-notre-dames-historic-upset-over-ucla-50-years-later/ Little known fact: before that game in 1974, the Bruins had not lost a game since the 1970-71 season … when Austin Carr and the Irish took down Sidney Wicks, Curtis Rowe, Henry Bibby, etc. I was at that one, too.

I'll just agree that "storied" and "relevant" are not synonyms. Even though I didn't make a correlation between the two.

ugh. Chicago Radio.......the herpes of all media

I think a number of analysts would agree with you Irish. I agree with your comments about Harbaugh...his brother nipped him when they both took their teams to the Super Bowl, and that has to sting. John seems to be in a good position to be a contender for another one this year. Belichick interviewed with Atlanta again....thoughts about him coaching the Falcons. Not sure why he would want to jump in a situation without a proven QB.
