... and stuck at home due to snow day( actually none of that sounded right... I'm loving the day!!!๐Ÿ˜‚).... and as a chance to root some of you out for your playing skills, list the best five players you ever played against, any sport.... I'll go first:

Ken Rosewall, Grandslam champ( it was a hit and giggle exhibition๐Ÿ˜‚)

Gene Harmon, at one time Creighton's leading all time scorer... hoops

Mike James, 6'10 player from Kentucky... one of their first players of color... hoops

Bob Siegel, 3 year starter for the Huskers ... hoops

Not pro or college players but when I was in grade school the best athletes I ever saw were Nick Danze and his brother BJ. Truly gifted athletes and the nicest guys you would ever meet.

It'd just be names that no one knows.... I remember them well though. Early 90's 8 man football good times. I played the same position as Mark Brahmer at Doane and that son of a gun could make a guy's head hurt in practice. He's probably 20% of the reason why I can't remember names at 50.

Spartan,

Were you watching the WSU-Memphis game this weekend when the Shockers sent the game into overtime? The color commentator shouted, โ€œBonus basketball in Wichita!!! Why else would you come here???โ€

I was still laughing when they came back from commercial, and he sheepishly apologized to everyone who might have offended - said itโ€™s a great place and there are all sorts of reasons to come to Wichita.

Too funny. Someone obviously got in his ear during the break and said, โ€œThatโ€ฆ didnโ€™t sound great.โ€

it's been the talk!!๐Ÿ˜‚... but i think his intent was good....๐Ÿฅด
it's funny,,, these Shockers are a lot like the Huskers... mismatched parts with some really nice win baffling losses... at one point about three weeks ago, these two had combined for 12 straight losses... brutal....
