Yeah.  Can't believe I overlooked that one. 
Perish peacefully in a warm environment.

Godspeed Big fella.  :'(

Damn. Sad news. I was young but seeing him chunk the ball full court with ease was a thing of beauty I will never forget. I remember having a full life size cutout from the democrat or gazette of Todd Day hanging on my bedroom door for years. Loved the early 90's hog ball.

I hated to hear this last night.  I know several who have fought and beat cancer (my dad twice) and it sucks!  I put this in the Dead Pool thread too...before I saw this thread.  This is awesome and funny.

My dad would try to find out where the team was staying and we'd stay at the same hotel. I think it was '91 in Starkville. The "hotel" was one of those 2 story ones that had the doors on the outside. Me and my 2 brothers, they were 8 and 6, me 12, would walk around and run into the players to get autographs. We found Day and Mayberry's room and Big O was there too. Door was open, it was a nice weather day, and we walked in. Big O had 3 large pizzas in his lap and had finished 2 of them. Mayberry was sitting on the bed. We asked where Day was and they said he was taking a shit.

Big O and really all of them were very cool and signed a basketball that I still have somewhere with the entire '91 team. Nolan and Mike A were cool as well. I'm sure they were annoyed by us but they didn't act like it.

Those Big O vs Shaq battles were fun to watch. He's gone too early.

Pants ironed?

Sweatpants without a crease in them.  Looking back it's pretty impressive how those 3 especially were not annoyed by us and treated us well.  Big O didn't give us a slice of pizza though.

What was that one sig line someone had here before? Some story about Lenzie banging some dude's girlfriend back in college.

"Certainly back in the day. If Lenzie Howell is having sex with your girlfriend today, that is not cool."
I'm sorry Elvis......for all of it.
