Just saw this years list of 2019 people being honored at the Pac-12 Tournament. Among those being honored are Dick Fosbury (65-69)and Carol Meyers Drysdale (74-78). My only comment about that is what took so long for them to make it. One other comment: WHERE THE HELL IS JESS LEWIS. He is not in it.

Agree on the Lewis comment. I was fortunate to be a student at OSU during the Jess Lewis era (as well as Fosbury). I can recall how he (Lewis) brought in a fan base that previously had only a passing interest in college wrestling. His matches were an 'event', attended by many wide-eyed students, as he invariably pinned his opponent with haste. One of my fonder memories of college.
On a similar note, another of my fondest memories of college was standing on the floor of Gill during the epic "Festival of Life" concert evening, and looking up to see none other than Forsbury r-e-a-l-l-y grooving on the music.

Loved listening to Jess at a tailgate tell how he ran down OJ. Said that he was chasing and Ron Yary (USC all-world OL) hit him so hard it speeded him up.
