Saw a former player walking into Turners after the game.  Traditional, early 60's, with about 8 ear rings in right ear. Looked mean as hell....throwback to Al's persona.  Anyone know who this is?

Sounds like you might be talking about Joe Nethen.

I must say I was a little surprised by the amount of ink and piercing on some of the older guys.
Have some patience, FFS.

I haven't heard any mention of George Thompson.  Was he missing all weekend?

Nethen.

Was in the student section during the game as well.

Damn, is GT still chapped at MU about the number 24 thing?  Or is there something else?

Yep.  I would have answered earlier than I did, but the "early 60's" age guess threw me off.  He is only 48.

George was preoccupied and could not attend weekend festivities.

Lloyd Walton wanted to be here as well.   He is a career development counselor with the NBA and was in New Orleans for the All-Star game.

Knowing he wouldn't be able to attend the NMD festivities, he was here in early December when the 40th anniversary of the championship team was celebrated, even though his last season was 1976.

Thanks Goose.  So the fences are mended?

I saw George last week and know some former players were trying to get him to go.

OK.  He was such a great Warrior, I want him to shine around more.
