Just wondering how cool it would be to have Nolan Richardson and Gene Smithson together at a WSU Tulsa basketball game. They were such intense rivals. I loved the Tulsa student that would dress in an all white suit and have play money sticking out of every pocket. Funny now but not so mucy then.

That's a great idea. Needs to be at Koch though. Nice older article about GS. Believe NR is living in El Paso?

So where would I get a Polka dot tie to honor NR? Better yet a white leisure suit and a polka dot tie

It just needs to be our idea, and DB just needs to take the bull by the horns and get it done. At the very least, our administration can get it done with Smithson and other players from that era who remember the Tulsa rivalry.

I'm enjoying the 'Wichita Flag' posts on Instagram... seems like a great way to build pride in the city and seems to be catching a lot of momentum.

But would that be taking us back to the "Valley Days?"

We just need to learn to embrace the good of the past and remember it with a smile:)
