Walking into the joint, I see Coaches Stud, Beckman, Bowers, Ward and Springer in the back room with a couple of recruits. We end up chatting with Stud for a couple of minutes...that dude has a very strong handshake.
The coaches start leaving and Coach Beckman comes walking out with another guy. We shake hands and Beck says "I'd like you to meet Kenny Burress". I was like, "Kenny Burress!!" Coach Beck says "Do you know who he is?"
I replied "Kenny was a member of one of the best secondaries in BG football history....the Killer B's!" Burress' face lights up and he gets a big ole smile across his face. I name off Burress, Bair, Beilinski and Brooks.
Burress was very appreciative of the remarks.
After they left, Mrs. Freak said "I think you just made that guy's day...Did you see the way his face lit up?"
The Killer B's....man, I loved that group!
From there we move on to Anderson Arena for two big wins....I love being a Falcon! Good to see Flipper, Metz, Bleeding, Dayon's Den, Warthog, BGSU 99 & 96 and Chris from Warren! Then I ran into Option and his girl on the way out! What a day!
I'll be back in town on 2/19 for hoops and hockey. BTW, received a letter today from the athletic dept that 2/19 is Falcon Football Appreciation Night at the Ice Arena for the WMU game. First 500 thru the doors get a commemorative GMAC Bowl poster and the coaches and players will be signing autographs. Very cool idea.
