Geeze, there's a blast from the past... Randy Duvall should get mention for mooning the folks in Gainesville. The "Astronaut" was the most fun to watch. No one, nothing was going to stop him if took off from the top of the key! All-time announcer: Dick Walcott "...OH! NO! What WAS he thinking? WAIT! HE COULDN'T POSSIBLY BE THINKING..." on Dr. Higgs picking up a series of technicals in Gainesville turning a 7 point lead, with under a minute, into a five point loss. Dale picked up two T's, some else went off, too. Florida shot something like 12 free throws. Walcott was the best... and he "allegedly" drank on the air.
John Williams, from the mean streets of Compton (or wherever Crenshaw is located), was quite a talent, but I always think of that boneheaded play against Georgia when I think of him. I think it was his soph year and LSU was up by 1 with about 5 seconds left. All John had to do was get the ball into play, basically, and at worst we get fouled and put on the line for FTs. What posessed John to try---again, from *underneath his own goal*---a length of the court pass (which, naturally, sailed out of bouds some 90 feet downcourt), I'll never know. Georgia gets the ball right under the LSU goal, scores, and wins 67-66 (I think). This is all from memory, but I remember the look on Daddy Dale's face after that ball went out of bounds for a long time to come...LOL.
Mattick was better than both Borner & Campbell. But do you remember Damon (I think) Vance from Vallejo California & Steffond "Baby Magic" Johnson. Certainly never panned out.
because he thought the clock would run out not knowing someone must touch it first. lol now he knows. at least it wasnt as bad as chris weber's famous timeout call.
