not going to say how old I am, but anyone can be close...
I was a huge OSU fan. Buddy of mine and I went to every Farwest Classic. We went to games when Johnson, Radford and Blume were the stars and we were ranked #1 in the country. I remember going to the game that Lonnie Shelton "rest his soul" dunked the ball against UCLA in the last minute and the ref called him for a T. Lonnie just looks at the guy and has that "NO s%#t" smile on his face. It was the "coup de grace", finallizing a wonderful skunking of UCLA!
I remember Terry Baker, Mel Counts, Frank Peters and Jay Carty... I remember all of it. we have not been there since 1990 with Gary P and the NCAA. Yes we went with Tinkle a few year ago, but that was a ho hum deal.... Nothing like the Orange Express. We haven't seen anything close for quite a while. Hope this year changes that? I am not as confident as I should be, but there have been way too many dissapointments...
