I know most of you won't give a flying-f***, but I found this full-length DePaul vs. Lousville game from 1980. For those of you that don't know, this DePaul squad was arguably the best of all time and was loaded with future NBA talent such as Mark Aguirre (#1 overall pick in '81), Terry Cummings (#2 overall pick in '82), Skip Dillard ('82 NBA draft pick), Teddy Grubbs (McDonald's All-American), etc.
Check out the video here: http://tv4u.com/show-large-video.asp?cid=26&sid=705&vid=1966&t=1980%20DePaul%20vs%20Louisville&cat=Classic%20Sports
Louisville was coming off a National championship season. A great game and you get to see Billy Packard in him prime! The advertisers are hilarious-Datsun, Pabst Blue Ribbon, Milton Bradley...it was a simpler time.
It's sad to watch it now because of the current shape of the Mens Basketball program. Hey Jerry Wainwright (head coach of DePaul), and I know you read this family blog regularly so I won't get too heated, but: Could you please get off your a** and get some recruits in here? We have 0 recruits for '09 while Villanova already has the #2 recruiting class and G'Town and Marquette are in the top 10.
I know you only recruit "character" guys, but shiat, we need some bodies in here, you might have to get some "less that desirables" in here if we want to field a team in '09, because you know Dar and Mac are going pro on us early like every other decent player we ever get. Seriously, it might be time to go the Bob Huggins' route and recruit some players that might not fit our high character, Vincentian mold, like this a**h***:
