The Freakin' Weekend (1970)

A couple of weeks ago, I was starting to go a little overboard on the 1970 NHL season.

Anyway, that passed. But I did want to mention that the Boston Bruins ended up wining the 1970 Stanley Cup.

Other winners so far in 1970 include the Knicks in the NBA, Al Unser at the Indianapolis 500 and Tony Jacklin at the U.S. Open.

It's so great having the SI Vault back.

Here's what's on TV in Hoptown this weekend starting Friday, June 26, 1970.

It's time for me to get serious about paying attention to this baseball season.

It makes me awfully happy to see that episode of NFL Action Sunday afternoon on CBS.

Hoptown 1970 me missed Christian County Day at Beech Bend--but not the Loretta Lynn show next week at Kaintuck Territory.

With that trip over to Gilbertsville coming up early next week, I'll probably stick close to home over this weekend--other than maybe a quick run out for some takeout.

The Freakin' Weekend (1970)

Give it all you got, take your very best shot, and may the best team win. The time is now. The name of the game is action! ...

ABC's Wide World of Sports is carrying the Rebel 400 NASCAR Grand National Race from Darlington, S.C.

I don't know what this college-basketball game is that CBS is scheduled to be showing tonight, but, per the Kentucky New Era TV grid, it will apparently be pre-empting my My Three Sons rerun and might push me over to Lawerence Welk.

I don't often watch Lawrence Welk, but the old boy did have a winning appearance on Here's Lucy this season.

It's only Game 4 of the Stanley Cup playoffs, but it appears the NHL also might be wrapping up its 1969-70 season this weekend.

Even this week's Sports Illustrated doesn't look particularly enticing ..
