Oso planning to go pro
RIP, George, and thanks for the memories…George was the star of the team my first 3 years at MU. NIT runner up to Southern Illinois (and Clyde Frazier) in 1967, S16 in ‘68 and E8 in ‘69 (a Ric Cobb missed FT away from a FF). The picture of him with him standing at center court, arms raised in triumph after beating Adolf Rupp and Kentucky in the S16 game in ‘69 is one of my all time favorites.
Who runs the MU basketball facebook account? No mention of George at all. You would think they would post the OBITS of past MU players.
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
Literally, their last post is about Thompson. They also posted a tribute the day after Thompson passed.
Well I never saw it on my facebook feed. All I ever saw was all the number changes for the current players. I'm not a big social media guy so my apologies.Edit: I must have just missed it as it indicates it was just posted 14 hours ago in my feed.
