I miss Bowie. Caught the 30 for 30 about him a few years ago and it was excellent. A lot of folks hated his analysis when he was playing 2nd fiddle to Hacker but I thought he did a great job.

 

[bnewt]

would have liked to have seen how good he could have been if he had been injury free.
would be nice if he was around the program in some way
he understood what it meant to play for UK

About 7’1”.

I doubt it.

I was always 6'2" as an adult. I am now in late 50's and am 6'1" barely or 6'0.8". I am younger than Sam, he had to shrink.

Great answer though

 

[BlueWorldOrder74]

Bet he is one of your favorites. Sure.

 

[UK2287]

Good guy. He and I prepared a term paper together for an economics class at UK. We received an A of course.

I am 72 y/o and Sam is my favorite Cat of All-Time .

 

[Jdhays21]

His son interned for me a few years ago. Nicest kid you’ve ever met in your life. Also incredibly smart. He’s at UK or just graduated.

I'm old school. My fave all-time players are Sky, Mash, Bowie, Rex and Macy.

Of the newer guys, I'll take Wall, Cuz, Ulis, AD and Oscar.

"I'm old school. My fave all-time players are Sky, Mash, Bowie, Rex and Macy."

That's a title contender right there.

 

[chroix]

Met him once. Seemed like he was a really genuinely nice guy.

I think Sam was involved with trotting horses not sure if he still is?

I was watching this game live on NBC when this happened; I was 14 yrs old and to this day its the most amazing thing Ive ever seen on a basketball court minus Va Tech’s Les Henson’s full court heave around the same time that beat FSU in tiny Tully gym:

I didn’t even think that it was one at each position. Yes, that works out well.
Macy at the point.
Rex at the two.
Sam Bam in the middle.
Mash at the three.
Sky at the power forward spot.

Thanks for pointing that out…

My favorite pic of Bowie was of him and Leroy Bird sitting side by side. Their heads aligned. Bowie's legs stretched out like a river while Bird's just touched the ground.

They had TeeVee in Juvi?

 

[Dirk2Bowie]

I'm kinda a fan of those two too.

BOWIE!!!! You better get a time out LSU

His wife and Donna smith owned a pie shop called Phat Pie. I went in there once and he was in there. He is a very large man.

Yes. Is at Red Mile quite a bit.
