Durham is from Louisville and played at Eastern HS. No doubt he had the connections to recruit King and Petty.

Hugh Durham also had the guts to integrate his teams b4 it was largely acceptable. Opportunities for black athletes were limited if you weren't a sure-fire star like Wes or Butch. Mike Redd had to go to KY Wesleyan for heaven's sake!

It was just a sign of the times, unfortunately. 1966 gave us Texas Western/Rupp's Runts. 1971 gave us WKU and an All-Black starting five in the FF followed up with the next year's All-Black FSU starting team. Suddenly, the door was wide open.

Once again a playoff loss was not on him. Lamar accounted for all 88 yards with 3 minutes to go for the TD, and threw a perfect pass that was dropped on the 2 point try. The game would have most likely went to overtime.

Yes, he had two turnovers, but no successful QB in the playoffs have perfect games. No one would be saying anything about the turnovers had Lamar won the game in overtime.

Who knows why he can't seem to get over the hump in the playoffs. What I know is it's not always been due to any poor play by him. He will get to the Super Bowl eventually because he's too good and he's dedicated.

Weather is why it is critical that you earn homefield advantage, but that's where Baltimore is a bit hamstrung basically having to go no worse than 5-1 in the AFC Central meaning you have to sweep both the Bengals and Browns and split at worse with Pittsburgh. But I'll be blunt...going back 70 years when have you ever seen a pleasant winter day footage for a game played in Baltimore. The weather isn't any better in KC.

Lamar's just going to have to find a way to get through it; it's going to be his albatross until he does it.

How'd I miss this last week? Love talking about what we're doing in the half court. I really keep hoping the natural progression with the sets leads to guys running backdoor cuts off the 3 point line with over aggressive defenders,and Chucky becoming one of the nation's best assist leaders.

It will open up the 3 point line for even better looks. Here's hoping.

Ron King and teammate Otto Petty were snatched up by FSU Coach Hugh Durham. A lot of recruiting violations had them on probation, $$$ may have been involved. The Seminoles were ineligible for most of Dave Cowens' career. The FSU team that went to the NC had just come off probation that year.

There. That happened 50+ years ago. Plz don't ask what I did yesterday lol.

Probably not a popular take here. I love LJ,but tbs he has a tendency to lose his focus at the biggest moments. Take the sack on that bad snap and fumble. He has to be better than Allen.
All that aside he is really good when he's got laser sharp focus. He had it early,lost it, then was poised to get his team into an overtime late,save one last drop.
