Ha. For those who aren't familiar with the story - 

 

When all-conference center Walton showed up for practice one day with a full beard and insisted that as much facial hair as he wanted was his right, Wooden didn’t argue. All John said was: “ I admire people who have strong beliefs and stick by them. Bill, we’re all going to miss you.”

He immediately rode his bike into Westwood, got a haircut and a shave, and made it back in time for practice.

Great story from a great man

I like this picture of Walton better...

Best finals game ever.

Wow I remember that game. 21-22 for Walton. Huge game.

Walton with healthy knees was so good.

LB State should have played UCLA a fourth straight year (third straight regional final) in 1973, except that USF shocked them by ten due to Ed Ratleff being at way less then 100%.

While Nolan Ryan will go down as one of the great Angels, Devo may go down as one of the most underrated Angels.  He was awesome to watch.
