Indeed. I think my brother still has the #44 Bosworth jersey he wore when we were kids.
Bosworth didn't get to play in the bowl game because he tested positive for steroids...left early for the NFL. For awhile he was selling himself as a "born again" believer...speaking engagements and stuff...I don't know what he's up to now. |

My favorite memory of Brian was Bo blowing him into the endzone.
He was messed up. A great player, but a head case. Bo was fun to watch. I loved watching him. Heck, I'd watch him bat, just to see him break the bat over his head.

I agree about how much fun it was watching him. He was one of the greatest athletes I've ever seen play any sport.

I loved watching him try to beat out a ground ball running to first base. (I wondered, hey, superheroes aren't supposed to play pro ball, who let the Flash run). One of the great pleasures I will be able to share with my children and grandchildren is to say, I was able to watch Bo Jackson play. He was and is a great guy. Strong, fast and fluid.

Wow, if Edwards' dissertation was bogus, what would be thought of Doc Gooden's dissertation on "Baseball's geometry of 'chalk lines'"?

hm.
There is quite a body of scholarly work on sports topics. Covering everything from the athletes themselves to the evolution of the game to the motives of donors to terrorism risks at NCAA venues. (I'm not making any of that up.) Granted, I didn't find a lot on the 1984 Cougars, but I still hold that the Sports Illustrated articles could be used as primary sources for an academically-solid history paper. A really interesting one, too. |
