O Zone Role Models?

Posted: 1/29/2013 6:42:02 PM

This is my favorite picture since Memphis at UAB some years back.

The older gentleman in the orange is my personal favorite.

I've seen crazier things happen.

That guy leads the SEC in scoring, doesn't he?

Man, that UAB - Memphis picture was something else. I remember you posting it here.

"Before graduating from high school, Henderson was arrested and sentenced to 25 days in jail for trying to buy $800 (59 grams) worth of marijuana with counterfeit money."

Entertaining article on him. Fun to watch but thankful he's not a Bobcat no matter how good he is.

Good to see Bob Ross at the scorers' table.

Happy trees...

Actually looks more like the guy in Adam Sandler movies - the case worker in Big Daddy and the principal in Billy Madison.

This is not going to end well for that player. Some day, a fan will be just as much of an unprofessional asshole as he is, and we'll see how well he can run or defend himself.

That was my initial reaction anyway.

I was at Ohio from 2000-2004 and there were a lot of characters in the MAC:

-Easy, breezy, beautiful Covergirl, Greg White-Marshall's coach who wore makeup.

-Marshall's Hey Hey Tamar Slay, did you drink and drive today?

-The Hispsher finger and Andy's patented crotch grab

-WMU had a player with a striking resemblance to AC Slater from Saved by the Bell

-Buffalo has a player who I think moonlighted as a WWF/WWE extra..Bortz maybe?

-Charlie Coles-enough said

-The Sonny vs. Juby Johnson rivalry

-Nate Gerwig from Kent was a bonafide thug you could always count on to keep it classy

-Redchicken Jason Benedict Arnold Grunkenmeyer-see MAC Semifinals 2001

Probably overlooking a few but these were the first to come to mind.

Nice trip down memory lane OU82. I also always remember Antonio Gates showing a ridiculous amount of sweat thru his shorts like he had pissed himself and us getting on him about it. I also remember a player named Bates, and we all chanted "Master Bates" when he shot free throws. So dumb, so funny. And Dan Dakich provided several moments for us, including wearing his sport coat backwards for some reason and slapping the floor of the court when his team scored and got set for defense.

Does anyone remember this one from the 110 from the early 80s:

"Hey Colin, you sure don't look Irish"

YESSS...however my personal favorite was 1979. Back then, the seats behind the visitors bench were general admission. Toledo had a kid on the team who was probably the 9th or 10th guy on the roster, last name Seeman. He never got in the game, but received 90% of the abuse. We took pity on him and he was a very good sport. Our RA had a car, picked him up at the OU Inn and we met him uptown for beers at the old Cats Den. I believe that was the last year those seats were GA.

LOL, that's awesome!

Another good one from 1979 was at a football game. It was a cold, rainy day and we were absolutely destroying Marshall. Their punter was standing with both hands down his pants to keep them warm and the band loudly chants "Hey #8, which hand's winning?" He turned around with a big grin and a red face.
