UCLA dynasty
Okay, I'll grant you that it helps to be a UCLA alumnus to appreciate the recent DVD on the UCLA dynasty in college basketball from the mid-60s to mid-70s. I went to UCLA from 1964 to 1966, at the beginning of it. I was there when the lowly UCLA freshman team skunked the pre-ranked #1 varsity team in an exhibition game on the night Pauley Pav was dedicated, thanks to Alcindor, Allen et al. But this is a terrific DVD that captures the spirit of the times as well as the special culture that was coach John Wooden's creation. A terrific story.
