I’m 6’2”, so yes, larger than the average Asian. Romar came up and asked me if some random basketball recruit (I forget who) was coming to practice after some campus tours. I looked at him and didn’t know what to say.CFetters_Nacho_Lover said:

I once met Ty with my buddy who was a recruit.

Even with all the help back then he couldn't qualify and I guess he wasn't good enough to take anyway.
At any rate Ty is telling the kid he looks like he could still play and does he have any eligibility. Made his fucking month.
These guys are good in person generally speaking. It is why I said Ty was a good guy in person. Because he was
Tormey was more interested in talking to me about an upcoming catholic school football game I had than talking to the recruits.
Romar thought I was a walk on recruit or somebody that he had to talk to as well. All in the same day.
It was a fun story at the time. Looking back it shows Romar didn’t give a shit and was very lazy to not even know who he had visiting on campus. -
Don’t comment anymore. It can’t get any better than this.TrumpsWall said:Here’s my Lambo story:
In 1981 as a high school senior Lambo was my lead recruiter to play for the UW at inside LB. had an offer, did a couple trips to the UW including dinner at Coach James on my official. Loved Lambo and he got me fired up about the possibility of getting coached by him.
Long story short after a knee injury in the 4th game of my senior year he and they cooled on me. I remember him coming for two more visits after that. One at my school and another at my folks house. Both times he asked me if I still thought i could run 4.7. Both times I said “no doubt “. Then they cooled on me and ended up taking fucking Tim Meamber who obviously is paying for taking my spot with drug addiction in his post playing career. I called Lambo when it was all said and done and thanked him and always enjoyed chatting with him at games and through the years. Ended up having several other PAC offers (WSU, cal, Oregon ) but chose the Beavers because I bought avezzanos line of shit about how his new staff was gonna turn it around and didn’t want to go to WSU or Oregon.
Always liked Lambo until I heard the domestic stuff toward the end.
Hence I’m a husky fan until the beavs ever get it together.
CSB I know. God I’m old.

Word on the street was that Lambo killed 5 hookers while in Texas.

I’ve never likes the o/u being 5. That allows for a push, so that bet doesn’t exist. 5.5 should be the number. Lambo is still under in my book.salemcoog said:Word on the street was that Lambo killed 5 hookers while in Texas.

That's pretty good revenge right there you know -
Unlike the dazzler, @MikeDamone understands 'setting the line'.MikeDamone said:

Didn't say he was a good QB. Don't twist. -
Woodinville had a basketball player named Lance Coomar who was 5'10". Then he went off to study at Michigan. I saw him three years later at the Tacoma Dome. He was suddenly 6'4". He said his dad called it "wasted height" because of the late growth spurt after his playing days were over.RoadDawg55 said:
