hmm...


Sorry, don't see it

 

btw, if you haven't yet, check out ss.com. They have a nice welcome banner up for Lon right now

 

He was also a two time Big 8 POY.

 

also, the pic ss.com had up was so amazingly wtf that i had to make it my new avatar

 

I don't mind the hire, although we paid him too much. Hopefully he returns the program where it was 10 years ago.

 

If he stabilizes the program, gets up back to regular tourney visits, and keeps us out of trouble, he is well worth every penny

 

I can't believe he's 58. I vividly remember him coaching at Kansas State. Crap, I must be getting old.

 

Ditto.

I wanted him back 20ish years ago when we got Kelvin. Doesn't seem that long ago to me, so I know I'm getting old too.

 

I recall that 93-94 Final Four Florida team. That was a great game against Duke even though they lost. I remember their big center very subtely elbowing Grant Hill about ten feet through the air without the refs seeing. The timing was so perfect and the look on Hill's face was priceless. Don't know if that was coaching, but if any of that team's attitude was his, it could be very entertaining the next few years.

 

I think he looks like Nathan Fillion's dad.
