I thought that was Kaiser, kneeling from a side view. Wagner is #20?I think the guy kneeling in the gold warm-up suit is Roger Kaiser. And that is Jim Caldwell on his right shoulder. Phil Wagner ought to be on this poster as well, but I'm not sure which one.
One of the living ones?can anybody guess which one i am?
Is #22 sonnenberg .i worked for him at Emerson Process. Teammate was Trot Hunt .Is #22 Steve Sonnenberg?
Young Coach Hyder kneeling, correct? Left of Mark Price.
Lenny Horton, #34.
Jim Wood, #24.
I really hope you’re the front of the poster #24, because I’m drawing a mental block in my memory.can anybody guess which one i am?
With Waldo.Where is @New Old Guy ?
He later became known as "3D" but at Tech he was Dennis "Great" Scott! Nobody and I mean NOBODY called a basketball game like Big Al! Cawood was the only college hoops play by play announcer in Al's league.Dennis Scott. I'm under the assumption that it was supposed to be 3D instead of D3.
He was the greatest on many levels. He could make a 2 point victory over the University of the South (Sewanee) in 1980, when we won I think 4 games sound like a national title win! Casual sidewalk fans in the state of Georgia tended to be Georgia football fans because of Munson and Georgia Tech basketball fans because of Big Al. That was in a day where you depended on radio to follow your team. Al wasn't necessarily the greatest football announcer even though I still loved listening to him but he was impeccable when it came to hoops. His style of calling the action exactly as it unfolded was much more condusive to basketball than football. Can't believe he's been gone for 22 years now.Al was the greatest. I know I’m biased. Those of you who knew him as a man, can relate. Had the honor of lunches, banquets, and to be in his home. If there was a noble charity for challenged children, he would take part. One of the most loyal gentlemen to his friends. I loved how he turned to the band and waved, while they played his song(typically he was on the air). You have to appreciate him climbing up into the radio booth at the top of Alexander Memorial on a thin ladder during a cold, icy night. Those were pre-ACC days, before going courtside.
