    Dammit, no you didn't. You meant Oregon State University! Ralph Miller is spinning in his grave. ;)

    Great list @Chris Craig . Creating a list like this is always subjective, but fun.

    Here's my list of Blazers all-time centers:

    Nurk is climbing that list quickly. I'm looking forward to him getting a few more playoff wins under his belt.

    Bonus trivia question.
    Can you name the team that knocked off OSU during the regular season when they were ranked #1 with Steve Johnson, Mark Radford and Ray Blume?

    Kansas State. OSU was the No. 1 seed and lost to the frickin' 8th seed. It still burns. Curse you Rolando Blackman!

    oops.....still hung up on what happened in the playoffs. Why I do believe the regular season loss was to a looked past University of Portland. Didn’t that end the “courtesy” games between the two.....?

    Uh oh, wrong. First it said regular season and OSU was ranked second at that time. It was University of Portland with Darwin Cook, Jose Slaughter and Rick Ravio. My alma matter. It was at the MC and i was there. :bgrin:

    It wasn't the Pilots, it was ASU.

    The Pilots may have beat us another year, but not that year.

    My wife was friends with Doug Lauricella and his former wife and was a pretty rabid UP basketball fan back then but her memory is no longer what she likes to think it was.......UP basketball was actually bumping the edge of relevancy in those days. Shoulda canned Avina at the crest and brought in someone to take it to the next level. Sigh.........

    I knew Doug. What years was she there? I have a story about Avina that my baseball and athletic director told me. Can't be repeated in a public forum.

    She was there for 4 years and graduated in ‘76 (Education major). She wasn’t very fond of Avina (close up view of how he treated the players) but thought Etzel was more or less a sweetheart.
