[QUOTE="Dress2Jacket, post: 939493, member: 5508"] The Cremins era was special for many reasons. First, Bobby Cremins was the nicest, most enthusiastic person you'd ever meet. He'd accept invitations to talk at a Fraternity or a Dorm after practice and he'd stay for hours. No drop by for 10 minutes, check the box, and move on stuff from him. The guy was 100% genuine. Second. The players. They went to class. They played pickup ball at SAC. They were (sort of) regular students. Some of them were unique. Yvon Joseph remains to this day the most imposing person I've seen in person. Rock solid, 6'11, and was in a couple of my ME classes. Graduated with an ME degree and passed on a pro basketball career (he was drafted in the second round by the Knicks) to be a mechanical engineer. And this was a guy from Haiti, which makes his accomplishments even more special. Price. Iconic. John Salley. The lady's man. Always hitting on the co-eds. Very high profile on campus. Parked anywhere he wanted. Surprisingly, never got towed. Tremendous athlete. I remember him violently dunking over Ralph Sampson. (And Ralph returning the favor). Omni '83. Third. The program had momentum. The team got better every game. The Thrillerdome frickin' rocked. It was incredible. [/QUOTE]
