He would be annoying if it were not for the fact he is VERY much dialed in on the teams and offers candid, insightful remarks regarding the game...while making it all fun

This was about the only blemish he and the Bruins had back then, back to back losses on the road to the Beavs, first, then the Duckies. Man back then when UCLA was soon coming to Corvallis or Eugene, the line for tickets formed days ahead.

Pearl Washington deserves honorable mention Berry was a better player IMO Laetner was just on better teams...and got 2 not 3 rings BTW. But I got no problem with Christian either he was terrific no question.
