Houston….

[L4Dawg]

I had to watch it in a silent small corner of my screen because of the weather up here…not complaining, but evidently that was one hell of a game. A question: Who here besides me was at the Hump when Phi Slamma Jamma came in in the early 80s? I was a student. That was one hell of a team.

Damn son, you be DRUNK.

I was there. I think it was preconference 82 or 83. I know that I was still in high school which I finished in May of 84. Kelvin Hildreth had a monster dunk over Akeem the Dream.
Akeem, Clyde Drexler, Larry Micheaux - that team was loaded

Would have loved to have seen that Houston team in person. My basketball highlight (as far as visiting teams) was seeing Pistol Pete in the old gym.

Stalker vibes.

I was there. We actually pretty much contained Phi Slamma Jamma, as much as you can. Lost 68-62. It was an event to see that team play.

I was there. It was '83, and my dad just happened to be in town. We went to the game even though he wasn't much of a basketball fan.

I mostly remember the warmups. Houston had some huge guy wearing gold chains set up a boom box under their goal. He had on a black T shirt that said "DUNK YOU VERY MUCH".

Interesting to see Duke lose off of what looked to be a poor foul call.

I believe Reid Gettys' wife is from Philadelphia, MS

That was a weak call, but they had already done so much to choke. They reminded me of a Stansbury team trying to break the press in the last few minutes.

The word Houston in Spanish means "One Big *** Traffic Jam"

Sort of related, I saw them in the 1982 Final Four along with Louisville, Georgetown, and North Carolina. Many future NBA stars Patrick Ewing, James Worthy, Michael Jordan, Sam Perkins, Clyde Dexler, Akeem Olajuwon (not a starter)

"Take the Loop"

Could just be my original username of paindonthurt and we'd all be happy!

Crossing my fingers we get full screen tonight. So far, so good.**

Here we go, one shining moment. Go Cougs!

I remember that now.
Not sure why I didn’t make the 18 minute drive to watch that game ?
Must have been December of 1982

Correct. Reid is a heck of a guy.
