Re: Pistol Pere Story on CBS now Its here in Miami as well. Was going to post it I love Pete and his story, kinda sad at times. I can relate to his life by some things that have happened in my life as well, not related to BBall of course.
Re: Pistol Pere Story on CBS now So much stuff I had not seen or did not know so far.... Amazing stuff!
I recorded it when it first came out about 4 yrs ago. What I remember the most was the rare color footage of Maravich and that Mike Ditka played for Press back in HS. I had heard that Press took all/a lot of the game film when he left LSU. When the film first came out, I had talked to Tommy Hess, who had played with Pete and coached BB at Belaire HS here in BR about Maravich. He had some stories! I wish I was old enough to see him play at LSU. Glad he found peace and got his life right before he died.
Re: Pistol Pere Story on CBS now I've seen this before, its great. The movie is now out on DVD, The Pistol Birth Of A Legend.
Re: Pistol Pere Story on CBS now Does anyone know if this cbs program is available on dvd? unfortunately, i didn't know it was on and started watching about 1/3 of the way through. absolutely a GREAT program. would love to have a copy.
Re: Pistol Pere Story on CBS now That was really well done. Lots of footage I haven't seen. I know LSU has very little footage of Pete. Apparently the people that put togather the documentary had to cobble togather clips from provste collections and other schools film libraries.
