I'm sure there are lots of choices, and I haven't really thought about it except to note the starting freshman point guard on the Ohio Ladies Basketball team is Kat Yelle.

In football it's hard to top Wolfgang Kratzenberg.

Hard to beat either of those. First met Spindle in fall '77. He was in for a recruiting visit. Awesome 'fro. Funkadelic on the turntable, and for some reason incense burning (?) in Ryors Hall before the walk over to the Convo and the game.......

Was it this album?   WMMS used to play this song every Saturday night at 1:30 and of course Alice's Restaurant at 2:00 on Thanksgiving Day.

Nope, "One Nation Under A Groove". John Patterson (6'11" Center - was Spindle's "host" for the visit) played it Constantly!

Ahhhhhhhhh.  Nothing beats Maggot Brain.  Thanks, Al.  It's awesome to revisit one's youth from time to time. 

I believe this is the album that my white as rice roomie decided to play during a brief visit from Walter Luckett for class notes one night.  Walter never came back.

That he was on the same team as Ewane Nanji, Raynald Ray, and Steveland Hookfin... it was a golden time for Ohio on the radio.

One nation under a groove
getting down just for the funk of it
One nation and we're gonna move
No one can stop us now

feet don't fail me now! haha

Johnny "Pat" Patterson lived across the hall from me freshman year at Ryors. I can still hear that tune in my head he played it so much!

pledge allegiance to the funk, the whole funk and nothing but the funk

Although I don't remember either of these guys being of great character, I liked Dennis Chukwemeka and Matron Church.

Seeing as how this has morphed into also talking about football names, how about: Tajmahal Henley.   His friends just called him "Taj."
