Remember Pearl from the early days of ESPN.

Did anybody in the Midwest pay attention to Syracuse basketball before ESPN and the Big East came along?

I actually was a Pearl Washington fan when I was young. I don't remember how I first found him, but I remember cheering for Syracuse, just because he had the same name as me.

RIP Pearl
