11 years ago

‎11 years ago a great man passed away. A man who gave a lift up to many and a kind word or deed to all. He was a clown with a great big smile most of the time. A gangster with slicked back jet black hair who came from the beaches of New York. Vaseline made a fortune to keep it in place. He could have been a comic in the Bershires even though he wasn't Jewish. He was an engineer who built a dynasty that last 10 years. He had the scrambled eggs, a guy who couldn't throw a ball into the ocean, a fight with a fan which I think was a draw but with all of that fun and nonsense he was just Al McGuire. Just a great man and coach. From one bohemian to another just keep trucking down the road.

He was one of a kind. Seems to me one of his favorite players is also one of a kind. What really is neat to me is that after all these years Coach is still coolest dude MU ever had.

I hope Warrior fan takes the time to thank Coach today and keep this post on top of the threads for the day.

#31,
Watching you, Al, and the rest of the Warriors during the 8 years I was a student were some of the best times/memories of my life.

This one is for you, Al.

4ever--Nice to see another 8 year career at MU.

Yeah, but I had an excuse.

Certainly applies to our current coach:

"The people who know basketball, their elevators don't go to the top."

Could change the third word to "poster"
