No surprise to me. It comes down from the lead official who was the worst of the worst. Even John Ward used to hang his head when he saw Beaudroux announced for a game. The Florida game could easily have been lost when the official stood close by as Loften was repeatedly fouled on an attempted inbounds play in the last seconds. DC in NC

Great article. I didn't know about Spook's mean streak until now--I never got to see him play. Good to hear that Ben Byrd is still showing his stuff. DC in NC

Ed Wiener. Another name from the past who didn't get his name mentioned often enough. Go back another year or two and you'll find Art Burris and "Britches" Montgomery. These lads, along with others I can't remember (was Wah Wha Jones's brother one of them?) pulled off the biggest upset in UT basketball history, even today. Art scored 27 points against Uncle Adolph and seven footer Bill Spivey and sent the Big Blue back to Lexington in a bad mood. I remember it vividly because my Dad tied me to a chair and made me liston my first UT game. Isn't it time the Sentinal did a feature on these guys? DC in NC

The "Iowa Cornstalk" is gone. A pity that he did not get as much print as his record deserves. What a player and to get as many points as he did in what was typically a 60 to 55 point game. DC in NC

Dare I say it? It's time for Pearl to ask Don Devoe to coach half court defence. There's nobody better at it. DCinNC
