There was about 100,000 folks at that game by the retelling in 2018. But I was there and i didn't see you there  I was listening to Darrell Aune, having graduated in 1972. So there was only 99,999 in attendance.  Count me... 100,000 😉 |

The player in uniform in profile is definitely Tim Hennessey. Did Bakke have a big bushy 'stache too? I LOL at Jerry Wilkerson because Doug Oxen tells a story of him fouling out vs tsdtr in about a minute of PT. That was when they were the kamikaze guys. Doug tells it lots better than I do. Doug probably wasn't drunk like I was at the time |

I was there that afternoon that Lonnie dunked the ball at the end of the UCLA game. Crowd went absolutely crazy. One of my most favorite moments ever at Gill. Ralph took him out of the game and got in his face and was chewing him out (at least on the outside). The thing that I never understood about the NCAA winning that court case and forcing us to forfeit those victories and removing the stats from the record book, was that earlier a lower court had ordered us that we were obligated to play him. So therefore we were just following the court's mandate. If we had not played Lonnie we would have been in contempt of court. I always thought we should have sued the NCAA to recover those games. |

OSU was indeed between a hard place and a rock. Court order to play him while knowing full well the ncaa was going to hammer them for doing so. I fully agree that OSU should have fought the ncaa ruling anyway they could have.

He was simply an amazing athlete. Big, graceful, fast, great hands. And great at the reach-in foul that drove Ralph crazy. Seattle times commenter probably lying about Lonnie Shelton doing track at Oregon state too . Anybody know anything about that? I believe I heard that he was a big-time javelin thrower at some point. He was a ridiculous athletic. |
