In my lifetime, I have had the pleasure of watching both Larry Cox and Derrick Walker.  Watched Cox while in college at UNL.  Loved him!  Attended a game in the Coliseum against OU and their star Waymon Tisdale.  Can't remember who won, or the score of the game.  Those early games are what gave me a love for Husker basketball.

Glad to have another geezer on here to join Papa and me in remembering watching Larry Cox.   But Papa's right, it wasn't Tisdale playing with him; they played at different times--Cox was a senior in '76, and Tisdale played at OU from '82-85.    I also remember seeing Waymon for the first time, his freshman year, in a big snow storm where those hardy enough got invited to move down and make a bunch of noise.  My memory is we won a very close game, but it was easy to see what a great player Waymon was going to be.    Sad that he passed at age 44.

There are not a lot of us still around who attended games at PBA, The Bob and the Coliseum. 

It might be more than you think.  

 

Here's a great interview with Larry Cox.  Well done, Dave!

That was a long time ago. Nearly 50 years ago. Perhaps I was thinking of Alvin Adams from OU. Another fantastic player.

My new all-time favorite candy bar is the Reese's Take 5.  It's yummy!  Is the game televised?

A run and gun, guard push the pace and shoot it before the shot clock hits 20 seconds is definitely not an offense that fits DW's style.

This thread aged very well.  What a joy it was to watch him this year.

That was done a while ago.   I'm gonna go out on a limb and say Derrick plays in Europe....let's say...Poland.
