Happy Birthday, Jalen Rose! The Fab Five Are All Turning 50
Well, if THIS doesn't make you feel old! Today is Jalen Rose's 50th birthday, and the rest of the Fab Five will soon follow.
Coach Juwan turns 50 next week (Feb. 7), followed by Chris Webber (March 1), Jimmy King (Aug. 9) and the baby of the bunch, Ray Jackson (Nov. 13).

Damn you, East German Judge. Why didn't I think of that headline?
January 30th, 2023 at 10:16 PM ^
That's great East German Judge.

Hang the Banners!!!
January 30th, 2023 at 10:07 PM ^
i didn't use to think that. but given the incredible excrement that the NCAA has allowed with zero sanctions, i think it is indeed time to hang the banners, and to do so even if the NCAA objects.

An AD with even a set of small balls would do the following:
- Hang the banners
- Let NCAA know
- When they protest, do this....

Wait until the Harbaugh thing is over. That investigation has no teeth but it's still annoying. No need to get the NCAA's panties in a wad even more beforehand.

I'm with you, except... you KNOW some pettyass pencil-pushing dickslap at the NCAA would use this as a pretext to do some sham investigation of us because one of our recruits didn't use a #2 pencil taking the SAT.

Happy birthday, now hang the damn banners!

What a great time that was to be alive. I still have my Jimmy King jersey around here somewhere!
January 31st, 2023 at 4:55 AM ^
Me too!
January 31st, 2023 at 1:22 AM ^
yep, I was in the same class and just turned 50
not sure where all the time goes
I don't care what anyone else says, Jalen Rose was the best player on that team

Bring them back and hang the banners and bring some light to this miserable season.

Doesn't that mean they are blue hairs now? Soon they should be irrelevant..
January 31st, 2023 at 6:26 AM ^
Am I doing the math right--does that mean that Ray Jackson was 17 until right about the beginning of the season? Wow.
January 31st, 2023 at 8:36 AM ^
Time passes too quickly, and - like fine wine, can get even better with time.
Go Blue!

Webber is my all time favorite 〽️ basketball player. My brother had to guard in HS, I think Chris had 34 points and a bunch of dunks on my bro.

its not just that it makes me feel old, it makes me feel unprepared for retirement

Read this and thought, "We all are gonna become 'diaper dandies' again too soon."

The numbers of years between today and when I saw the Fab Five play Duke in the Metrodome for the national championship is greater than the number of years between my birthday and when I took that trip to the Twin Cities.
Happy Birthday Fab Five - welcome to being old.

Happy Birthday Jalen! Quite an NBA and ESPN career.
His book Got to Give the People… is a great read and provides a different perspective on Ed Martin.
