That's awesome. I had ESPN Classic over the summer, and I loved watching old NBA games. We dropped it, but it would be sweet to watch a few Bird games.
We HAD it on basic cable, I loved wathing it, but the idiots at the cable replaced it for the food network.
That's weird...Where I was, it was on digital cable, then got put on basic cable... They always play the Houston/Louisville game around final four time. I've never seen it before, but I've heard it's one of the best college hoops games ever...can't wait to see it...
