    Not only that...Wicks and Wallace were TURDS. Luke was a leader, a great teammate, and a terrific human being.

    I didn't realize Jake's was around back then. Great food!


    Ahhhhh the late great Herm Gilliam was actually one my boss's supervisor at the Corvallis-Albany UPS hub back in the day.

    Luke was a great Blazer, but his whining about money helped derail things after the title. I don't blame him, since the players made peanuts then, but he basically pulled a "Rudy", but with money.

    I also think that WS/48 is a silly statistic, but that's another story.

    He just won the championship and was underpaid. He had a legitimate beef.

    Rudy hasn't done shit to be whining like he has.
