Back then Olympics were so much "bigger" because the viewing lens was so small. You had 3 major networks that showed sports. Espn was only a minute old then.
From a sports upset mindset, imagine the Dream Team basketball team with Jordan and all the all stars that won by an average of 44 points a game, losing a game. It was that big of an upset.

That’s a perfect way to put it. Dream was amazing. I can’t stand Bryan Bumble doing anything, maybe I would like him more if I was more familiar with the Olympics.

In my living room listening to my Pops going on about how the Russians had it all rigged. That final period was charged lol. What a memory eh?

Would have been my first semester in college. I remember just being so proud well everyone being so proud. If it was possible this is one point in time I would like to go back to. Within a year or so I would be forced to make some hard and life changing decisions. Some of which I would like to have another crack at. Spilled milk.
