Old NCAA tournament memories

Let's go Houston !

mjmaherjr's first ever college team that he rooted for was Houston Cougars Phi Slamma Jamma back in 82

Helped fuel my hate for Gtown after the NC State Heartbreak
I was a Houston fan during Olajuwon's sophomore and junior seasons, respectively. Like you, my dislike/hate for Georgetown came after they beat Houston for the championship, along with my oldest brothers' love and trash talk for the Hoyas.
 
So many fun players on those teams besides Olajuwon and Drexler. Larry "Mr.Mean" Micheaux, Bennie Anders two of my favorites.
Michael Young. Rob Williams. Williams was a lil older than the main "characters." He, like Olajuwon (Akeem), had his first name on the back of his jersey (Rob). 😄

Did you to to Bama or from Bama?
Bird not Bama. 😉😊 no as 10 year old kid fell in love with the name Alabama, QB Joe Namath, head coach in houndstooth hat Bear Bryant, color of jerseys crimson. They actually lost 1965 Orange bowl game to Texas 21-17 when refs mistakenly ruled Namath hadn’t crossed the goal line on a QB sneak from the one. Wish they had replay back then. 😊
