Let's make this birthday one to remember.

81 years old (Born on September 20, 1943)

Happy Birthday, Coach Bliss! From your days leading teams at Oklahoma, SMU, New Mexico, and Baylor, you've always known how to keep the game interesting. Your passion for basketball has inspired countless players and fans alike—though we're still debating if your sideline antics were more entertaining than the games themselves!

As you celebrate another year of life off-court (and hopefully away from any investigative reporters), may your day be filled with laughter and joy. Here's hoping this birthday brings fewer controversies and more cake—because let's face it: everyone deserves a sweet comeback story once in a while!
