Gators vs Dolphins

So the length of this thread tells me that UF is not a basketball school no matter how hard Muschamp tried to make it be one.

We were also playing Jacksonville in the same time slot as the best NFL games of the day.

Holy $#!+ That dude can probably only bench press 120 but he can squat 600! Nickname had to be grasshopper.

It's Artis Gilmore and his nickname was "The A Train".

"During the two years that Gilmore played NCAA basketball at Jacksonville, he became one of only five college basketball players ever to average at least 20 points and 20 rebounds over his career. Gilmore led the NCAA in rebounding both years at Jacksonville, and his career average of 22.7 rebounds per game is still the highest in NCAA Division I history"

Dad used to take me to JU games quite often as a youngster. Used to have a pretty good program back in the day.

I like how Gilmore's wrist band matches up perfectly with the white square on the backboard, making it look like he's reaching behind the backboard.

Gilmore was 7'1" with a teammate that was 7' who led the nation in FG%- forgot his name.
JU lost in the NCAA championship game, ergo they finished #2 in the nation.

Wasn't that loss to UCLA during their great run?

 

[rogdochar]

Pretty sure it was, MJM.

Well we DESTROYED JU by 45 points so I guess we don't want Kerwin Bell as a coach anymore....oh wait nevermind, wrong sport. LoL

Pembrook Burrows, who I understand went on to be a FHP officer down towards West Palm.

Yes, in the finals. Some say the game was rigged. I remember watching it and shaking my head at some of the ridiculous calls.
