    Here's some sage advice from the legendary UCLA coach...

    He got that sage advice from Zane Grey.

    Huh. So that's why Duff Goldman got a request for an Edsel shaped cake with enough room to hide a skeletal Ginger Rogers.

    When my alarm went off this morning and they were discussing the Wizard of Westwood on the radio, I thought for sure it was because he had died. This is much better.

    Wooden's got a lot of problems at 99, but a bitch ain't one.

    Wooden and Paterno - the Treebeard and Tom Bombadil of college sports.

    I can't wait for misguided commenters to do the following:

    - Compare Wooden's age to Joe Paterno
    - Compare Wooden's age to John McCain
    - Suggest Wooden was alive during some historical event -- say, the Civil War or the Fall of Rome.
    - Make a "Dirty Sanchez" joke (may not happen in this thread)

    Maybe not the Fall or Rome but he was coaching at UCLA when California still belonged to the Mexicans.

    @MarkKelsosMigraine:

    he's already 99, I thought, as young army-men in the Spanish-American War, Wooden, McCain, and JoePa, otherwise known as the Three Amigos, were able to track down and bury the Mexican Army General Juan Sanchez in a planned mudslide, so that he was forever remembered as "The great Dirty Sanchez"
