Bill Walton taking a shot at LU

My first reaction was to laugh, but the more I think about it the more annoyed I get.

Granted, I did not watch the broadcast so I did not hear the whole context, but it seems like Bill should be able to separate his feelings regarding the university from his opinion of our ball club. I hope he gets called out for diminishing our guys’ performance, but my guess is he will not.

Bill Walton is famous as a broadcaster because he spouts his opions on things like this. People either love him or hate him for it, but his draw is you’ll never know what he’s gonna say next.

Walton's elevator doesn't reach the top floor.

In the game Bill was doing color on when he made those comments, the Bruins destroyed Stanford by almost 30 in a total dunkfest. They are clearly much better than they showed against us, and they probably made the right move in canning Alford when they did, but I do believe we deserve some credit for beating them by the margin we did. Walton is to the left of Bernie Sanders, so I'm not at all surprised at his attitude toward the school.

Didn't Alford himself say that it was his "most disappointing loss in 28 years of coaching"? Crybaby

What's funny is he says that the lost to LU has caused a stain for the institution of UCLA. UCLA has caused a stain for themselves with their involvement with the C.I.A and Military Intelligence ( Project MK Ultra on human and animal experimentation). But hey, they won many championships and is a P5 school, so who cares . Louis Jolyon West and other scientists would be proud of Walton's gullible statement.

Sounds as if he cooks at Golden Coral on Wards Road.

Would you mind providing a link that shows proof of UCLA’s involvement? I’ve read that the list includes around 80 or so other universities along with US government and military agencies, but I can’t seem to find anything credible.

He has no clue about what’s going on at Liberty. He like so many on the far left (probably further on the left then Bernie) views Liberty based on the actions of Jr.

Bill once gave his broadcasting partner Pasce? I think I butchered his name, a copy of one of Richard Dawkins book because he knew he was a devout believer.

Lastly Bill shouldn’t be talking considering 10 of those titles were bought by Sam Gilbert. Yeah UCLA is pure class :roll:

Here’s the top three quick links that I had observed before. I would recommend reading in the invidual that was mentioned in my previous post.

He’s definitely not for everyone but I find him entertaining.

I’m curious what his thoughts are on BYU considering they kick out known LGBT students and harasses African Americans (history of racism) and students that are not Mormons.

I find him funny and entertaining. I can sepearate his political and social views from his broadcasting exploits.

You can but he can’t. You know what else is funny? UCLA boosters are pushing for Rick Pitino for the new Head Coach position. I’m sure Walton and other high and mighty socialist/Cultural Marxist...sorry “liberals” will refuse this action to take place...right?

I dont know you all personally so my statement is still true haha

Gotta be honest. I can somewhat see the entertaining comment depending on your perspective but funny...not so much.

Hes in the dickie v, screaming a smith, skip bayless sector for me.

Ill take bill rafferty and dan dakich as my top 2. Feels like im forgetting one but really like those 2.

John Wooden was a 48tb degree Mason and Lee Alcinder was actually kidnapped and replaced by a clone named Kareem Abdul Jabbar.
Jamaal Wilkes is a distant relationship to John Wilkes Boothe

A school like UCLA should never lose at home to an Atlantic Sun team, regardless of what the school's non-athletics history is, so I could see the reasoning behind his comment. It's like when Kentucky lost at home to VMI during the Billy Gillispie years.

Dakich is a good commentator when he isn't doing Indiana games. He's just a crappy troll in everything else though.

If you think Walton's comment was because Liberty is an A Sun team you're very mistaken.

The comment was made for religious and political reasons.
