Amen Brother Goose.We had one game against the University of Tennessee where it was 12-0 before Tennessee got the ball across the mid-court line. Given the speed at which we played basketball in those days, that's almost half of a half. We played a deliberate offense because there was no shot clock and no three-point line. We slowed our opponents down. And, yes, we did at times play down to our opponents, as was evident in 1976-1977, when we lost seven games on a schedule nothing like what we had today.
There is a humongous difference brew. With Al, that was the real deal. Buzz, not so much.
Buzz is no Al, but IMO the evidence suggests that he's the real deal too.
GlowI think the two guys are more alike than you think.
HermanThe ‘76-‘77 season was definitely a very good schedule. Al played a ton of cupcakes over the years, but his last season was a very good schedule. Add in, the mid level teams looked at MU game like a NC game. There was serious target on the program’s back the latter years of Al’s time at MU.
