Jim Valvano On David Letterman
I found this clip on a VCR tape this morning while rummaging through some of my old stuff. It’s Jim Valvano appearing on David Letterman doing a pretty humorous interview. I’m assuming this was in 1987 as Valvano congratulates Letterman and says “great game” in regard to Indiana. (Indiana won the National Championship in ‘97) If anyone knows the actual date for sure, I’d love to know. Sorry about the quality, I had to transfer this from a 20 year old VHS tape, to my computer, to YouTube, so I did the best I could with it. Also, it ends a little early….go figure, I was a kid. Enjoy, this is classic Jim Valvano, the man loved to talk and laugh.

I’ve got several other tapes with mid 80’s stuff on them, I’ll be adding more later.

Great video! Thanks for sharing! V was TERRIFIC, wasn’t he? Man, I miss him.
No problem, thanks for the comment.
[…] Many thanks to Scott at GarageGabs for this blast from the past. Those of you who remember V will enjoy this. Heck, those of you who’ve only heard about V from the rest of us will enjoy it. This is Classic Valvano, and really, there’s no better words for it than that. […]
Gees, not to make you guys feel old but I am graduating from State in May and was probably only 2 years old when this interview aired. I’m watching this clip and others getting pumped for the game against Duke today and I love being able to go back to things like this and enjoy the tradition and legacy that NC State has. I sure hope that Sid can pull through and match what his old coach accomplished, GO WOLFPACK!
I love you!!!!
