Jerry Crowe from the LA Times has more from the Big Red on how order has been restored in the universe (emphasis mine):
It's not only the scoring, the rebounding, the passing and the joie de vivre in Kevin Love's early season play that have caused former UCLA great Bill Walton to sit up and take notice of the heralded Bruins freshman. . . .
It's also the beard. . . .
Notes Walton, who famously and unsuccessfully rebelled against John Wooden's restrictions in the early 1970s, "They certainly have changed the facial-hair regulations since the days that I played there." . . .
Not that Walton has a gripe with UCLA Coach Ben Howland. . . .
Says the ESPN analyst, "The alumni are extremely pleased with the direction and the accomplishments and the success of the UCLA basketball program. It's so much fun to watch the team play with exuberance and passion. We're extremely excited now that order has been restored in the universe." . . .
Karl Dorrell could only dream of such an endorsement. . . .
