I remember some of us being excited about getting Stromile, myself included. Anyone remember Bouncey Whales? What about Skip to My Lou as starting PG launching those stupid floaters. :lol:


I was trying to find what I'd thought at the time.

Found this.

Still true even though Beals is now like 55.

You're trying to make my skull spontaneously burst open so my brains can agonizingly gurgle to the floor, aren't you? Do you really need Youtube videos to upload that badly?


Wait no, AHHHHH here is the best I can find.

That cleavage hasn't aged, which is to say it's no flash in the...okay I'll stop.
We watched the tragedy unfold. We did as we were told, we bought and sold. It was the greatest show on Earth...but then it was over.

Bob Sura was great for us that year.

31 year-old Bob Sura and 34 year-old David Wesley = one of the most hilarious starting backcourts of all time.

Loved Michael Dickerson when we had him his rookie year and was disappointed when he got traded for Stevie. It really sucks his career got cut short due to injury.

Also, those socks! Good times.
