Awesome! I am proud to own a signed copy of that Sports Illustrated.

I have six of those SI signed and the Sporting News. Cherished possessions!

Wow. Hard to believe it was that long ago. The rebounder on the front page is Harry Flournoy - only 6'5" but could leap out of the gym. Perhaps one of the best rebounders for his size that I have ever seen. Years after leaving TWC, ran into Harry in Long Beach. He was playing in a basketball league. I was on the opposite team. Remained good friends until he moved to Georgia after his retirement a couple of years ago. His only regret was that their 1965 team did not also win the NCAA championship - He always believed, along with Haskins that this team headed by "Bad News" Barnes was the best team ever fielded at TWC - UTEP.

Good to see the "Lynching Frenzy" for Tim has subsided! I find it hard to believe that anyone in this board takes a Miner loss harder than I. Losing to Middle Tenn was the hardest because we were definitely the better team. Losing to Murray was also tough, but the reality check was easier to accept:- their team had superior players. Smaller than us, but quicker, faster and much more talented on the perimeter and on the paint! I am sure it is the player standard that Tim wants to achieve with his future teams. I still support Tim as our head coach - has been a winner throughout his long collegiate coaching career - excellent recruiter. - good person and he loves El Paso! Lets just all kick back and be more tolerant - with a good point guard and a good shooter or 2 - we will be back to the dance! Keep the faith Miner fans!

I always appreciate the "higher ground" and astute observations of your posts, Lou.

Almost time to light the cigars, Texas Southern, Baylor and Texas have gone down. SMU up on UCLA (wouldn't mind them beating UCLA). Will probably light the cigars Saturday or next week. SMU won't be winning the whole thing.

SMU lost in a bizarre ending. Just Sam Houston St. left.

SMU got robbed quite frankly. Only Stephen F. Austin left. Stephen F. Austin does have a good team. I could see them Sweet Sixteen. Final Four team though? Nope.

I actually picked SFA to make the final four in my bracket
