(“The TEN” is not a top ten but ten items worth being included in “The TEN”)
1. UCLA began their 88 game win streak in basketball defeating UC Santa Barbara 71-64 on this day in 1971.
2. The San Francisco 49ers have hired former Tampa Bay Buccaneer and Fox analyst John Lynch as their next general manager.
3. The U.S. Men’s National team played to a 0-0 draw with Serbia in Bruce Arena’s return as coach of the team.
4. Gonzaga (22-0) moved into first place in the AP Poll for only the second time in school history.
5. “Championship? We talking about championships? Give a player a championship and no one will remember him in a year, but give a player a free college education and you will feed him for a lifetime!” Mid Valley commenter My Two Cents
6. Happy 43rd Birthday to Rhein Fire’s World Bowl ’98 MVP and current Burbank High School Assistant Principal Jim Arellanes.
7. Workman can lock up the Montview League basketball title with a win Wednesday night at home against Sierra Vista.
8. On this day in 2000, the St. Louis Rams defeated the Tennessee Titans 23-16 to win Super Bowl XXIV.
9. Sunday night LeBron James became the first player in Cleveland Cavaliers history to score 20,00o points.
10. “Things turn out best for the people who make the best of the way things turn out!” John Wooden
@10: Which John was declared a Saint? McKay drank plenty if it was him. Wooden a Saint? Well he did not curse much but he did manage to get every player he wanted. I think it was Pope Innocent II that bent over backward for John.
Yes, McKay’s Trojans were crooked as Wooden’s Bruins, but nobody bent over backwards to declare John a saint.
USC has been buying Car’s and Houses for Players for over 100 Year’s. Marv Goux was funneling SC Alumni to John Mckay. Cheat On.
#8 still stings. Not because I care one way or another for the Titans, but because it was awful seeing the Rams win after screwing over LA. The survival of my roommate’s tv was a very close thing after watching the gleeful bitch G****** F******** declare that the win validated their move to St. Louis.
That’s going to be a good game. Sierra Vista is athletic, fast, and physical.
Things turn out best for people who have shady recruiters like Sam Gilbert to recruit players for folksy coaches.
#8) From a long time Oilers/Titans fan, “it still stings”!!!
