“I remember Michael Dickerson played for the Vancouver Grizzlies and the Memphis Grizzlies. They became the Memphis Grizzlies 0-1, 0-2, first season. Michael Dickerson played five seasons, went to Arizona, from Federal Way, Washington, South Puget Sound, home of the KCAC King County Aquatic Center.
Spent many an hour there, watching my brother do swimming. You got the WinCo down there. Yeah, I've been to Federal Way.
And he is the cousin of David Wesley. So let's talk David Wesley. I pictured him being taller.
Only six foot 190 out of San Antonio, November 14th, 1970. Baylor, Bayer, Longview, Tejas, Longview High School. Shout out Green Day.
Customer, a regular customer was talking to me about his affection for Green Day the other day. He was saying, he saw them playing the VMAs. I'm like, he's like this like 65 year old.
It's like guy in his mid 60s. Like, dude, you watched the VMAs? I'm like, dude, I don't even, I haven't watched the VMAs on MTV in years.
14 seasons for David Wesley, December 7th, 1993, debuted. I must be like getting David Wesley. I totally got him mixed up with David West.

“David West, the 17-foot assassin, power forward, center, small forward, variety, 6'9, 250, August 29th, 1980. Teaneck, New Jersey, Xavier, high school, Garner, North Carolina, the all Dark Alley NBA team.

🛎️LeBron Radar~ LeBron followed his fantasy football team, the LeBroken Hearts, and was all like, “OMG, duuuuuuuuude”.
📈Stat of the Day~ The Suns and Timberwolves each shot at least 52% from the field (46/85 for 54.1% for PHX and 42/80 for 52.5% for MIN) ~ they also both shot 73% from the free throw line (11/15 for PHX and 19/26 for MIN) as the T-wolves came back in the fourth quarter to win 120-117 in the Twin Cities.
“Oh, well, the coups lost.
But that's all right.
You know, kind of called it with a Devon Dampier quarterback for the New Mexico Lobos. Amazing runner. Perhaps a future Heisman Trophy contender, as he is a sophomore now, has rushed for over 1,000 yards on the season already.
And let me just specify what what did he do? 28 carries, 193 yards, 3 rushing touchdowns, 6.9 yards per attempt, 11 for 25, 174 yards passing, 1 touchdown. John Mater was lights out.
I believe he started 11 for 11. And then he just second half just completely faded. And they just took it to us, second half.
Yeah, so on the season for Devon Dampierre, 138 carries, 1065 rushing yards, 7.7 yards per attempt, 16 rushing touchdowns for Dampierre.
Amazing, dude.
I've never seen such rushing statistics for a quarterback. So there you go. We had Ashton Gentry versus Nick Nash in Boise State, San Jose State.
Showdown of a couple Heisman hopefuls. Ashton Gentry, 32 carries, 159 yards, 5.0 yards per rush, three rushing touchdowns. Also, one catch, five yards receiving for Gentry.
Nick Nash, wide receiver for San Jose Spartans, nine catches, 126 yards, 14.0 yards per[…]”
