Near the conclusion of the 1993 Rose Bowl (1.1.93) the ABC telecast picked up a booming "Whats up 87th Street!" yelled from the Michigan sideline. Logic would dictate either Trezelle Jenkins (Morgan Park) or Corwin Brown (Julian) yelling that, but I wonder if anyone in here would know for sure.
1993 Rose Bowl - Wolverines from Chicago question
- Thread starter UlbKA91
- Start date
That might well be the most obscure question ever posted on the board ... but, if anyone might know, it would be one of the edgier guys.
btw, I took note of this post because I grew up in the Morgan Park HS district, but my house was much closer to Julian. I still never figured out why the CPS built Julian so close to Morgan Park HS- just a little over 9 blocks away. (another CPS head-scratcher!).

MS4EVER - Thanks much. I was worried it would be a Cleveland guy (they have East 87th St in the Glenville area and West 87th b/w St. Edwards and St. Ignatius). VHS or Youtube?
Fl..20, as the neighborhood changed in the 60s and 70s and relied less on Catholic schooling, there was probably a spurt in school-age population that had to be served (similar to what you see now in the hispanic parts of the SW side in the heretofore St. Rita recruiting grounds), thus Julian was built. It may have also been intended as a reliever school for Washington Heights to keep Morgan Park (public) H.S. as somewhat viable for the Beverly/Mount Greenwood people who didnt/coudnt do parochial schools.
