I just took a look at that issue myself. On the one hand, the first part of the flashback adds on the flashbacks from and  that recount the time that Walter Langkowski and Bruce Banner went to school together. The flashback where Langkowski is watching the newsflash about Banner being outed as the Hulk is pretty general.

However, given the context, it bears some more examination. Langkowski was first seen as Sasquatch during the 1979 publication year (or Year Five of the Modern Age) The trial of the Hulk happened in 1972 (or Year Four) so it doesn't make sense that Langkowski would go from Football to atomic science, graduate from university, and then become Sasquatch in under a year...

That said, I suspect that the public outing happened sometime after. In that story, Rick tells Glenn Talbot that Bruce Banner was the Hulk because he thought Banner was dead at the time. That happened in 1966 (or year two), that gives a tight 3 years for Langkowski to change his area of study and get the position to become Sasquatch. However, it fits best. One could assume that Walter really pushed himself to succeed.
