I remember when we were going after 5 star program changer Paul Harris we put an offer out to his Buddy, some guy named Johnny Flynn. I wasn't sure about wasting a scholarship on somebody who wouldn't help us... but if it meant getting Harris it'd be worth it. Things ended up changing slightly.

Don't forget that we offered Leo's kid a schollie, cause he was Leo's boy. Local kid, too skinny, would never be more than a bench player. How did that work out.

My favorite bjorn thread was when he claimed he was better than every Syracuse walk-on simply because he played at the YMCA

TT hasn't decided yet if he wants to leave Brewster.

Nobody will get this.

Holy cow haven't checked in since Thursday. Scrolled through 20 pages of I don't know what. One Shining Moment though was Jake's "Everyone I talk to..." post.

Did someone say, One Shining Moment?

Isn't Brewster where Donald Hollander (That Girl's BF) was from?
Don't ask why I remember this. Brain sludge, I guess.

I never understood what she saw in Ted Bessell. He was dryer that six day old paste.

If I remember correctly,he also nabbed Mary Tyler Moore on her show. Ted Bessell- "the ultimate over-achiever"

The somewhat douchey everyman who gave hope to millions.

Man,you know a kid has waited too long to commit to a school when we trot out Ted Bessell!

Bessell played lacrosse in high school with future football star and actor Jim Brown

I don't really remember that but I always wondered if Mary Richards was hooking up with Murray or with Lou. If I had to bet money I would say Lou.

If it's in Wikipedia it must be true. Says he also went to Georgetown. 'nuff said.

She would occasionally date some beard although she probably hooked up with Lou after Chuckles' funeral.

It was not until 1975 that Bessell would appear in another sitcom, as the character Joe Warner, the boyfriend of Mary Richards, for two episodes on The Mary Tyler Moore Show.

Lou and Mary went on a date in one of the last episodes. Hijinks and hilarity ensued as they discovered there was no chemistry between them.

What Thompson's upside? A bigger Roberson?

No not really. TT has a much more well rounded offensive game than TRob. I am not sure who to compare him too, but I think his offensive skillset has the potential to be very, very good.

 

[Delmar]

What Thompson's upside? A bigger Bessell?

TT is taller than Bessell for sure. Bessell is more of a 2 guard, or a stretch at the 3. TT is at the 4. They're both NYC area kids, TT from Jersey, Bessell from the island. TT is definitely worth the scholarship as he is in the top 100 in his class in most all the rating services. Bessell would have to be a walk on, but may have already used up his eligibility as he graduated from college in 1958. He had the good sense to transfer out of Georgetown before graduating from Colorado. Bessell died in 1996, so there's that, too. TT is likely more mobile.

I was thinking she was more into Rhoda Morgenstern (always called her by her full name) or that other chick played by Cloris Leachman.
Mary was the anti-60's woman- who "could turn the world on with a smile", but where her sex life wasn't a priority.
