      Probably a regular commercial flight. Pre jet era and pre deregulation era meant a lot more short haul flights.

        They sure did. And they did it in the snow there and back. Plus, they did it uphill both ways.

          • I hope you all don't feel like this but I've gotten to the point I don't like seeing our former players kicking tail like Freddy here. It's too painful to be reminded of the good ol' days. Crap!

                He's not listed on either roster I looked up (08-09, 09-10). Name doesn't sound familiar at all. Was thinking maybe he was a walk-on that I didn't remember but he's not on either official roster.

                  Thank you....I thought I knew most but maybe he was a walkon practice player...Turg's last season....

                    I can't tell you the number of African immigrants I have played with and met over the years that played soccer for their national team.

                      That is some sick sick shooting. The distance on some of those shots is mind altering, like not at the NBA line, but way way beyond, a couple of parsecs in Han Solo speak. And crazy thing is, kids watch highlights like that and they want to be an outside shooter. What they don't realize is the amount of hours those top guys put in repeatedly shooting those shots. It's an outside-in thing, you have to get good at hitting those truly long balls that makes the basic NBA line look easy. I only spend maybe, maybe, an hour a day 4 or 5 times a week in shooting drills, but not at those distances. My best is 23 baseline shots from just out of bounds. And I think the closest number I ever came to touching that was maybe 16. I imagine those would be low ball make numbers for a FVV or Curry, or just about anybody in the NBA, but that's their job. Impressive stuff, but it really is all about the reps.

                        I looked up Daniel Randolph on the internet.

                        I came up with this...





                        There's one similarity. Maybe it was RB in disguise? LOL

                          Ah yes, Rob Barker and Daniel 'Rock the Rims' Randolph. Those were the days...

                            If he played at WSU, it was NOT for basketball. I can promise you that.
