Why do I always feel so much older than you, even though we were both at Cal at pretty much the same time? I had 2 years of Kuch, followed by 2 more with sweet Lou.

Memory lane trip:
- I may have been inside Harmon around 9AM on the day of the Ucla game, hung out in a classroom somewhere with donuts & coffee, then timed my entrance when the doors opened for the students; managed to save a few seats center-court, front row, feet stomping on the hardwood; never sat down once. Still ranks among my all-time greatest sporting events witnessed in person. Am I losing marbles or was Eddie Javius on the cover of SI after that game?
- I still have the post-season media guide from my time as co-Sports Director for KALX my sr year. That 86-87 team was fire. Too bad LT got hurt. For all that talent though [KJ, Wash., Butler], we still only made the NIT & lost to wasn't it Ark-Little Rock, at home?!
- Speaking of KJ, wasn't he drafted in baseball too? I convinced him to play on a co-ed softball team for intramurals, just a few games, but the looks on some of the faces when he came up to bat. Priceless.
Thanks to Coach Campanelli for some great memories.
I think we lost to LMU that "first" NIT year. My family moved to the Bay Area in '79 and we bought tickets in the 6th row behind the Cal bench, which we held until the renovation. I remember we'd get to the games early before tip-off and there were occasionally intramural games being played while we got comfortable in our seats. I used to smuggle in one of those red rubber balls as kid and would shoot hoops after the game ended. They use to let fans hang around on the court and chat after games.

damn my memory still sucks. Had to look it up, you are correct, Sir, yes!
Lost to LMU at home, 86 NIT
Beat Fullerton at Harmon, then beat OSU in Corvallis, then lost to ALR away, 87 NIT.
I'll be misplacing my keys any minute now.
