Bill McCartney University of Colorado coach who won the national Championship in 1990. he was 84.

McCartney's QB Sal Aunese had a kid with Coach McCartney's daughter which caused quite a kerfuffle at the time. Aunese died of stomach cancer at the age of 21. That kid T.C. McCartney is currently QB coach for the New England Patriots.

Yep, with Marvin Webster (the Eraser), John Johnson, Jack Sikma and 6th man Freddy (Downtown) Brown plus Slick Watts and Paul Silas.

1977-8 season I had tickets to the 7th game of the NBA Finals in Seattle. DJ went 0-14 from the field. A rare loss by the home team in the 7th game of a finals, didn't happen again in a major sport for about 25 years.

The next year the Sonics got their revenge Championship by beating the Washington Bullets in 5 games.

Gus from USC and DJ from up the street at Pepperdine.

Garth Hudson the last surviving member of The Band died. The Band had many great songs but since this is a gambling website i will mention that one of their many great songs was "Up On Cripple Creek". Hudson was 87.

from DJT,

I was just informed that Tiger Woods’ wonderful Mother, Kultida, passed away — She has gone onto greener fairways! Kultida Woods was an amazing influence on Tiger, and gave him much of his strength and brilliance. Melania and I send our love and prayers to Tiger and his incredible family!
