The great Larry Seivers. Did he start the game with half his jersey torn off or did it just seem that way?

He quit playing about the time you were born. Happy Birthday. Boy, you get screwed on presents, huh?

Lol a little bit, ya the 80s were his prime.

I’ll start, Condredge Holloway.

I am sure there are others that came before him, but he is the first one I can remember. I had to look it up, but I also really liked Larry Seivers, who came right after Holloway graduated.

I actually started listening on the radio when my grandfather listened, back in the late 60's, but I don't remember anything about specific players. I remember how mad people were when Coach Dickey left for Florida.
