šŸ¤” Remembering some guys

I still suspect that Chaminade agents put the then-popular Maui Wowie in our guys breakfast. Or, did we do that ourselves?

If I recall there were rumors that the USC WBB team may have contributed to our lack of focus.

Chaminade was a huge upset, no question, but it also was a meaningless game, early in the season, at the end of a very long international road trip. I don’t think you can consider something the greatest upset in history unless there’s more at stake. That’s why my pick would be Villanova beating Georgetown in the 1985 NCAA championship.

Agree on that game and your criteria but our walk ons and bench players would beat Chamidade 99 of 100 times (only saying not 100 cause we actually lost ha)

Was that even much of an upset?
Lost to Georgetown by 2 at home and by 7 on the road earlier that year- remember hearing they were happy that Georgetown beat St John’s in the other semifinal.
They were 0-3 vs St John’s that year having just lost to them by 15 in the Big East tournament.

Todd W was in my math class. I was talking to him one time and he said that Ox was the only guy who made him feel it the next day.

I thought Todd only played running back… what position did he play in defense?

MLB. Coach Salmon was straight out of the 50s I think. Everyone played both ways and the offense was 3 yards and a cloud of dust 80% of the time. The starting QB was also a starting safety.

Todd told me they only had four running plays they called… power right, power left, sweep right, sweep left. :rofl:

The epitome of HS football.

Jason Kapono

For the record, I do, of course, remember Jason Kapono. I don’t really remember him ā€œleadingā€ the Miami Heat (with his 4.1 points) to the NBA title.
