Ben Baressi?

[Desert Sapper]

This kid had promise as an OL. I thought he was still on the team? What happened to this guy? I think he had some kind of ailment (undisclosed?), but traveled to the Fiesta Bowl. Anybody know what his future is?

[n8v_ndn]

Last little blurb I'd seen during the Fiest Bowl week was that he traveled with the team to AZ, and that his future was still uncertain due to medical reasons...yes, I brought nothing to the table..

well as long as nothing useful is being brought to the table, i sat at his table in my economics class last spring...real nice kid.

[KingDavid]

I'll tell you this much: his first name is Ben. And I heard from a friend that his last name is Baressi. Hope that helps a little. I'll see what else I can dig up.

...the way "I remember it" IT was mononuculartosis... nah.

I remember hear some name like Gaylord Folker.

Apparently it's an issue that they either don't want to or can't (HIPPA) disclose.

Either way, he's still on scholly which (if it's an injury or illness) is the right thing to do.

He's fun to party with.

...I got nothing either.

I remember hear some name like Gaylord Folker.

Was that the guy who sat next to Dixie Normus in economics?

His brother I believe had some similar problems at Arizona but I could be hearing wrong on that. His dad was a member of the 1974 or 1975 national championship team. His mother was my dental hygienist for over 10 years and does a remarkable job; she was also at my baptism. A great classy family and I hope both Ben and his bro get back on track.

What's with the UCO propaganda?

[IronSooner]

He's from my hometown, but went to a different high school. He also started high school after I finished. YWIA

Better that than elephantitis of the nuts :eek:

"Claire, would you date a guy if he had elephantitis of the nuts?"

Well, that's my ingredient for the Brings Nothing Stew. Unless you want some of this week-old celery I'm hanging onto ...

Bermuda, I just happened to catch the first 10 minutes of the Blue's Brothers last night. If not for that, I would have never connected your signiture. :D

[sooner2b09]

good friends with his whole family. His brother Joe transfered from Arizona to OU but i dont think he is on the team yet. As for Ben he had some kind of injury i belive but was still on the team. I am not sure if he will be back next year.
