In the first game, Coach Knight gets so upset that he kicks a chair and throws Pat Knight.  He need not have worried as the '91 team cruised to victory.

On the playground before the second game, the players participated in a pickup game.  When choosing sides, the first 8 players picked were from the '75 team.
