I wish it was my birthday or even my mother’s age. I was a fan when Rupp won his last title in 1958 and mourned when Texas Western won in 1966 (after we had defeated another all white team, Duke, in the semis). I rejoiced when the Goose got loose in 78, naturall against Duke. I loved the payback in 98 which propelled us to another title. I very much dislike Duke and their arrogance. Hoever, I still mourn the Arizona loss more than the Lattner game. I would love to brag about three in a row, a feat not accomplished since UCLA’s run and likely will never happen again. Sorry, I’ll trade an elite eight loss for a title any day. If I was unclear, im sorry. If you disagree please explain.
