Formulaic, but Important
If you guys get the chance, take 90 minutes out of your schedule to watch Glory Road. The movie's sort of paint by numbers. More or less, you take Remember the Titans, and change high school football to college basketball. But the story was important. It changed sports and society in many parts of the country, particularly the southeast. Though Texas Western (now UTEP) has had some success, the current beneficiaries of this story are the SEC fans who are enjoying a bit of a renaissance in SEC sports, as well as the players who have had opportunities open up as a result of Kentucky's somewhat stunning loss.
The man that really drove that story was Don Haskins, who passed away earlier today.
The Board Room offers a moment of silence.
