Incredible tradition the university has with track. Thanks to espn+ I still follow the KU track team and give them a small donation each year. I am a member of the K Club (past letter winner organization) and wear my letterman’s ring on occasion as well. Ahhh...to be 18/19 years old again. Ok, back to USF...I still sitting here waiting on a friggin basketball game... Being a Sixers fan as a kid I knew about Wilt but not the others.

An older sister got a full ride track scholly offer from KU and would have been up there at the same time. Who knows me and NEB could have been bro in-laws, but highly unlikely she was way out of his league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad part of the equation both ways is 1) Tube losing to a team that doesn't score a td and... 2) a team unable to score a td and still win?? But, he is now our new senator so I need to cut him some slack he is not much but leagues ahead of the alternative(s). The 2 games that were won that season were both won without scoring an offensive TD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing! and a bit Odd...JL you not only are a Bull's Club Aficionado but a walking/typing fount of Bull's sports knowledge. We should have you bottled or even pickled... Interesting stuff you spew out. You are appreciated son. I can refer to you as "son" because I am your elder. Have a good weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
