Dex, Was there. Only game I have ever been to where the floor of the arena was actually shaking. Best game I have attended for atmosphere.

ThrowBack Thursday courtesy of PFB pic.twitter.com/LLFlEUYPllOh boy those were the days my friend...the mid to late 70s. Throw in Sonar, Dwight, and Cooper and we won and entertained. Anyone besides me at The Dunk (Civic Center) Dec 1976 when we beat No. 1 Michigan in 2OT? I give it the nod over the Hoyas game as the greatest ever played in the old barn. I was there, Dex. Snowstorm and all!!! Big Bob came through! Back then they kept the beer drafts going throughout the overtimes. Someday I'll tell you the story of my ride home on Rte. 195. PIZZA, SODA, GRINDERS!!!

Isn't that just great mike, I will send you a PM when we are talking about anything connected to 1973. In the meanwhile... Must have missed the memo from Dex that Throwback Thursday has now moved from the 1963 NIT to the 1976 Double OT win.

Dex what are we drinking today? I just poured myself a Jack and Ginger Ale. I'm going to wash down a few of the pills left over from my wife's breast augmentation surgery. I'm glad I'm not drinking alone today. Thanks Dex! Bottoms up ! Mr. Siff, you have been on a holiday tear with the sauce this week.

Ok mikey...we will get back to your 1973 passion in due course. We are not necessarily going in chronological order here. For example, do you actually think I would skip James Anthony Walker like he didn't exist? Please lad...exercise some patience unlike some of the wippersnappers these days.
Howsabout you commenting on the present subject...the late Bruce Campbell days at FriarTown.

Billy Eason and Big Beef Bob Misevicius becoming academically eligible right before the start of the inaugural Industrial National Classic
At the start of the championship game Bob Cooper literally blocking everything in sight during the first 10 minutes. Phil Hubbard who?
Joey Sonar Hassett bombs in 21 points, mostly from the outside. Ricky Green who?
Big Beef takes a pass from Bruce Soup Campbell and banks in a 12 footer at the end of the second overtimes and the Providence Civic Center is almost torn down.
Oh yeah, CraigL79 was there. CraigL79 was definitely there!

PIZZA, SODA, GRINDERS!!! Drinking and driving? Not something people should be boasting and guffawing about at this time of year.

Drinking and driving is not a laughing matter. Too many lives lost and ruined by this horrible disease.

Ricky Green 1st team AA, Phil Hubbard 2nd team AA and Steve Grote 3 time academic AA along with Alan Hardy and Joel Thompson. Johnny Orr was their coach and employed Grote as a shadow on Sonar the whole darn game. Sonar ran that baseline for 50 minutes getting back-screens.
Soup and Beef were terrific passers. Soup giving that ball up to Beef was emblematic of how that team played for a few years. Gavitt was really something until the year he left.
