Hal Needham requested Jerry Reed to write a theme song for "Smokey and the Bandit" (1977). Jerry Reed came up with the iconic theme song, "East Bound and Down" overnight.
When he played it for Needham, judging by his reactions, Reed thought that the song wasn't good enough & offered to rewrite the song if Needham found it unsatisfactory. Needham replied,
"You change one word, one note and I'll choke ya".
P.S: On this day, 49 years ago, "Smokey and the Bandit" (1977) premiered in New York City, USA.
"(The NET formula) rigged the whole system to protect the big conferences. I was in the meetings, I know what happened." - Former South Carolina/Kansas State and current UMass head coach, Frank Martin.
Big East v. A10
UConn and Pitino’s St. John’s would run through the A10 like Gonzaga in the WCC.
But if you think Nova, Seton Hall, Creighton…let alone the rest of the Big East…is walking into Chaifetz, UD Arena, or Siegel Center with an easy win then you don’t watch the A10.
We are so proud of you Molly! You continue to amaze us with your hard work, kindness, and compassion. God has great things in store for you and we are so grateful to have a front row seat to it all. Have fun next year at Butler. We 💙 you!
