For the youngins on here who don’t get the fireplace 🔥 reference,

Bruce was prohibited from playing in the Independence bowl in Shreveport, LA because a supporter had made a delivery of firewood to his parent’s house. He got an injunction to play and a LA judge overruled the ncaa’s attempt to overturn the injunction just before the game, so he got to play. But the distractions led to us playing like crap and getting or butts kicked 23-7.

The only autograph I have ever gotten was from Phil Chenier, Bullets guard.
