cy1981 said:I have bad memories of Tampa. We drove to Tampa from Lakeland one year on our spring trip to play Tampa University (?). I hit home runs my first 2 at bats and then (I know this will shock you) it started raining and game got cancelled wiping out my 2 home runs. My teammate later broke my career home run record by 2 home runs after I graduated.
Fishhead said:Wow!!!
You should put this in the BAD BEAT thread!!
A little trivia for you........did you know the UNIV. OF TAMPA once played in a CFB bowl game!?
cy1981 said:Yes, they played in Tangerine bowl in 72. That was the year before he came to ISU. We had quite a few guys from the Tampa, Lakeland, Orlando area of Florida on the team as he kept the connection down there. Just about every one of them were big contributors to our teams and they were some good guys.
Fishhead said:That is really interesting, never knew that.
The Hawkeyes are recruiting nicely here in the Tampa area.......in fact, believe they have no less than three players from one of Floridas best HS programs, ARMWOOD.
LAKELAND was the #1 team in the country in the USA POLL
cy1981 said:Talked to him a couple of years ago. He lives in Florida now. You would probably see him at a racetrack. He always loved playing the horses. I think he used to be at the tracks with Art Schlicter when he was at Ohio St. and Art was playing for him. Bet he regretted that.
Fishhead said::lolBIG:
Have you heard/read my ART stories here at TheRX when I lived in Vegas?
Hung out with Art on several occassions wagering sports and horses.
One of the FIVE most degenerate gamblers I have EVER known.........and this coming from somebody that lived in casinos 8-14 hours a day for 17 years!!!
cy1981 said::lolBIG: You got to love guys like Art. He makes the rest of us all seem like Baptist ministers. Funny thing is, whenever I get together with some of my college buddies they always end up calling me Art before the night is over. :monsters-
Fishhead said:Yes, you two have a lot in common...........midwest farmers, quarterbacks, degenerate.
:lolBIG:
Have more than a couple ART stories.
One time was with him and he had a $20,000 freaking HORSE PARLAY working!!! Lost both ends...... was then broke and was looking around for a $200 loan that anybody would give him.
