Great job WstateU. Yipes, stripes, beechnut gum.

I definitely remember those water fountains. Phys Ed was mandatory when I attended WSU and I had several classes in Levitt.

My fave Phys Ed class was one called "Gym Sports". We played volleyball, badminton, and paddleball. Most students in the class were basketball players. It was something to watch two front lines in volleyball that each had two guys 6'7" or taller who had great ups and loved to spike. This is testing the memory banks but I think two of the basketball players in that class were Ron Soft (Wichita guy) and Kevin Riordan when they played on the Freshman team.

Badminton is a surprisingly interesting game when played indoors. It's hopeless to attempt it outdoors in Kansas. Wind affects that game severely.

WstateU ... you should post those in the photo album section of your profile.

That would be Lee Erickson, who had a pretty successful run as a small college head coach after he left Wichita State.

Thanks Lax!

That was amazing!!! I'd never, ever, ever, ever, moderate a thread that had so many shocker photos. Keep posting them if you got them. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for posting the pictures. It brings back a lot of great memories.

It would be great if they could add more floor seats to Koch Arena at least for big games. I liked how people were right on top of the players and everywhere back then.

Good point. I noticed that when I was posting the photo's. Those were great seats near the baskets. There's also some wasted space behind the media tables that could be utilized better. I recall risers in the old Levitt. Unfortunately, the Fire Marshal would have something to say about any additions or alterations to Koch. They allowed more back in the day. With ADA laws and other regulations, we're likely stuck where we're at.

I remarked to a buddy of mine at the first scrimmage that Tekele Cotton looked like Cheese Johnson. After looking at the pic above, anybody else see the resemblance?

Yes, no doubt!

I hope he becomes Cheese Johnson

OK but who's the thunder-thighs, "buns of steel" player bending over to tie a shoe with the "I hope that's a shadow" shorts?

Good catch Aargh... Hope it's sweat, however it could be a shart!
