"Best and most positive" .... and most knowledgable as well. Plus, we share great memories of that '63 championshlip Ramblers team.[/quote]
Hunter, Rouse, Miller, Egan, Harkness?[/quote]
First game I ever saw at Alumni Hall (as a HS junior). It was a rout (Coach Lapchick's only losing season at SJU). Was rooting for the Redmen, of course, but those guys remain etched in my memory 'cause they were so damned good, a well-oiled machine. Went on to beat favored Cincinnati in OT, 60-58, in NCAA title game on Rouse's tip-in buzzer-beater, after trailing by 15 points at the half. As a Bronx kid, I had a special liking for Columbus HS's Ronnie Miller. Hard to believe nowadays, but back then, we had to listen to the title game on the radio; no TV (at least not nationally). Back to the point: Happy Birthday, Chicago Days! We miss you.
