on the other hand, the way the sentence is structured, it means that if he is the one HTP referred to, he didn't go to hs in SF, but if he's NOT the one referred to, presumably he did go to hs in SF.wifeisafurd said:He did use "It's" properly.

It is (a sentence), although the sentiment is mis-placed.helltopay1 said:

Helltopay1 You are in good company with your description of Robin Freeman's shooting. Hall of Famer Jack Twyman said that "Freeman is the finest pure shooter I have ever seen, high school, college, pro, or whatever.helltopay1 said:
I do remember Robin Freeman of Ohio State. God never sculpted a more pure shooter. I refuse to apologize if I've 'offended" any atheists or agnostics on this site. As Judge Jeannine is fond of saying, " put on your big boy pants and deal with such a harsh, unforgiving world. I will, however, weep with you as I seem to have an overabundance of tissues. Robin came to play against Cal on both Friday and Saturday nights. he scored 23 in the first game on seven field goals and nine free throws. Thge following night, he poured in 34 points. Remember, in those halcyon days there was njo shot-clock and no three point shot. Robin had at least two of his fingers sliced off in a bizarre accident and that was the end of his pure jump-shooting. I don't believe Robin was taller than 5'10.
I don't remember Frank Hess all that well. The Cal record book shows that Nibs Price's final year at Cal was 1953-54, and that Pete Newell arrived to coach Cal in the 1954-55 season. Hess started for Newell in 1954-55 and averaged 4 points per game. The Cal record book also shows that Hess lettered in basketball at Cal in '54, '55, and '56. The website Sports-Reference.com shows that Frank Hess played three seasons at Cal, played in 24 games as a soph, averaging 6 points, 23 games as a junior, averaging 4 points, and 16 games as a senior, averaging 1 point. In the 1955-56 season, Newell replaced both Hess and Mike Diaz in the starting lineup with Earl Robinson and Gabe Arillaga. Here is the link to Frank Hess's record page:helltopay1 said:
I'm wondering if Nibs Price coached the year Freeman played against Cal. I know Hess was a sophomore that year. After that year, hess never played first string again. Did Newell arrive for 53-54 or 54-55?????hess was a sophomore in 53-54.
Does the transfer lose eligibility once he is on Medicare? With Cal you have to think of all the contingencies.Big C said:
In less than a week, it'll be July: Can you believe it?!?
Still hopin' we land that grad transfer!
Did he know William the Conquerer?joe amos yaks said:
Coach Clarence "Nibs" Price was head coach of both football and basketball from 1026-30, then focused on basketball winning 6 PCC championships with a record of 449-294.
Then there is the mysterious matter of straight on wood grilled hamburgers (a "Nibs Burger") and fantastic pies at Nibs' Grill (1949-1968; sold and finally closing in 2013).
I don't think he loses eligibility even if he is on Medicare.wifeisafurd said:Does the transfer lose eligibility once he is on Medicare? With Cal you have to think of all the contingencies.Big C said:

I can't speak for Helltopay1, but I'm on Medicare, and ineligible, for another reason. My own eligibility ran out with my graduation. I bemoan this fact in most years, especially last year, when the Bear perimeter shooters could not be counted on to even hit the backboard, let alone the rim. All I ever did well on the court was shoot the lights out, and so I winced with each Golden Bear three point attempt last season. I pray for some better shooting for Cal this season. It won't solve all their problems, but it would be a start.
Boy, that is really tragic. Life is short enough without taking that road.helltopay1 said:
SF: hess was a senior at Lowell when I was a frosh at SI. ( I transferred to Lowell thge following year) Hess could drive and shoot. poor Frank had marital problems from which he never recovered. He committed suicide at age 32. He left two kids behind.
I think the mods have a duty to state unequivocally that the hoped-for grad transfer will definitely not be coming.concordtom said:
Well, I guess today's news kills off this thread.
We got "a" grad transfer, not "that" grad transfer.
But beggars can't be choosers, and I am thankful for a season with the Norwegian Collegian.

That's some good inside intel...."psst, hey buddy, I have the name of a kid who is NOT coming to Cal....will only cost you $11.50 a month for you to find out."petalumabear said:
The mods not only stated that he isn't coming but they named him. On the Insider Board of course.
I think about a month before that it was assumed by all it wasn't going to happen.Yogi Bear said:
Well, that was unexpected.
Oh wait, it wasn't
