Thoroughly enjoyed it a week ago when Billy was trying to sport his vast historical knowledge to Verne Lundquist. They even had the TV graphic made out for Billy to shine. "Verne, it might surprise you, but which one of these five former national champs were an independent (did not play in a conference) when they won it all."
1990 UNLV
1986 Louisville
1977 Marquette
1966 Texas Western
1963 Loyola (Chicago)
Verne who makes a fine stumble in his own right, says "Loyola Marymount." To which Billy proudly proclaims, "No Verne, it was that '77 Marquette team led by the late, great, Al McGuire."
Uhm Billy, Loyola and Texas Western were independents also. But hell, don't let the facts get in the way of your story.
