Lmao I’d say when your youngest graduates high school you become an old fart. But really it’s about mentality more than age anyway

Anything that happened before I became a fan (August 1995)

Elite 8 v Arkansas? Old fart

Was Mercury Hayes out of bounds? Exciting and still topical conversation

Old Fart isn’t something you can define. It’s something you feel in your heart. And your lower back.

Now this topic is important. I would say it is anything at 51 and beyond. Is why I just say I am 50…

Had classes with Cory Alexander, but youngest is in 5th grade. I’m definitely a borderline case.

After the Hayes catch, some quarters at UVa called him Ronde Barbecue. But I guess he’s had the last laugh as he’s being inducted in Canton.

And Mercury Hayes is smoking someone’s balls somewhere.

And Williamson was a LOAD in that E8 game. But I bet Corliss would say the same of Junior, who went 22 and 16 (!!).

I’ve been hooked since our Kindergarten class met Ralph Sampson while he was walking on campus as a freshman in 1979. This was in the Fall before the hoops season started, and the first time my Dad showed me Ralph on TV, it blew my mind since we had just met him a couple of months earlier.

Among the questions he was asked from our class, ā€œdo you play basketballā€, and ā€œcan you touch the top of the Rotunda when you jumpā€.

Had forgotten it was Ronde until I pulled up a photo of it earlier this morning. But yeah, things turned out okay for him.

haha no doubt mom’s loved Cory. Say it was a toss up between him Deane and Chase for her favorites on the hoops team. Dingle was her favorite football player by far.

That’s why I walk around barefoot most of the time.

Also pretty sure I’m the youngest old fart on this thread at 39… Don’t let anyone tell you that sports don’t age you.
