This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

If it was some random 40-50 game win streak, I would likely by Rosecrea

agree with you. it wasn't. it was, at the time, the longest win streak in college sports history and still the longest winning streak in men's CBB history. Against a hated opponent who was, by the way, the greatest dynasty in men's college sports history. None of which, of course,I need to remind you. Crap! You wrote a whole book on this stuff!

I also would,obviously, agree, if it was an NCAA Championship win or, maybe even, a win to go the the Championship game. But, to go to a Final Four? I don't see it. Without an NCAA Championship win, I don't see any win as eclipsing UCLA.

I'm clearly biased because I was at the 1974 UCLA game. But, I was also at the 1978 DePaul game in a half empty Allen Field House to go the Final Four and it wasn't really anywhere near as big as UCLA (maybe in part because we assumed it would be the first of may Final Fours, wasn't at home, vs. DePaul, yada, yad, yada).

Just one man's opinion.
