I've got one in red somewhere packed away in my basement. Me and 2 guys all bought one when we were in college and wore them to a game with a "Larry Eustachy Fan Club" sign and got our 15 seconds of fame on the big screen. Back then the large majority of the student section was in the upper deck and I bet we were about 10 rows up in the upper deck that day and still got spotted by a camera.We don't retire jerseys but surely we could hang one of these up somewhere.
It wasn't like they were running to message boards twitter or other social media to spill any info to anyone.
True.
Although by the end of Larry's era/beginning of Morgan, message boards existed.
None of them maybe bar one knew how to use them. It was a luddite crowd and they would not have given any info out anyway.
Probably because they were a pointless disaster. Even an old man could have realized the emperor had no clothes.
I always assumed Wayne just rolled the ball out on the floor, told them to scrimmage a while, and sat down to read a book or something.
I'm glad Blum brought up Pete in the interview because those 2 had a bond that went beyond broadcaster and coach.
And I agree with what Larry said, there may have been a suspension but no way is Larry canned if Pete was still here.
Man that was great to watch. Would love to have the teams honored and LE back at some point.
I'm not sure if Blum has stopped smiling since that interview.
I haven't gotten to that point in the interview yet, but when Pete passed away, that was the only time I've ever seen Larry get so emotional. He did a coaches show with Walters shortly after that and he was almost crying during that episode.
May never know, but his relationship with Pete may have been a bit of a tether for him.
That Jaquay Walls Colorado game back in 99-00 still upsets me for some reason. I think he went off in that game against us.
I once heard, from a credible source who may or may not have ties to this site, that there was an entire practice devoted to running around while holding bricks in the air. DURING conference play.
yep 17 point average and he dropped 42 on us including a 35 footer to force overtime.
4 of the 5 regular season conference losses in Tinsley era were all ot losses on the road. I knew both in 99-00 were ot and 1 in 00-01.

Texas wasn't in OT. ISU got swamped down there and imo after that they weren't right. They won by plenty vs. Tech (I was at that game) and Nebraska but you could tell their energy wasn't the same.
I remember watching the 4 OT loss at Mizzou. One of those where I wasn't even mad after it because it was such an exhausting effort.
