Well ya are just the greatest---Brought tears to my eyes---Hope ya got the spin in the middle of the lane like the other from the side of 360 degrees---just unreal --can you imagine these on ESPN??

After all these years this was a treat. As recently as last year I wondered what I ever saw in basketball, suddenly it all came flooding back.

Thanks

All I can say is WOW! I always heard my parents tell me about when they were students at USL. They'd talk about going to see basketball games in Blackham Coliseum, and watchin Bo Lamar play. But words don't describe what I just saw in that video clip. It makes me wish I could travel back in time just to see him play. Don't get me wrong, I'm 22, have grown up all my life going to Cajuns basketball games, and have seen my fair share of good players. But something about that video clip seemed magical. Anyhoo, it was a real treat to see that video clip, and I can only hope that our team returns to its glory days.

God Bless

Has anybody ever suggested maybe playing a "throwback" game in Blackham Coliseum?

[WDcajun]

boy that brings back so much memory...My dad used to bring me go watch Bo, Marvin, Roy... etc.. Blackham even seemed like a huge place back then. ...

Sid, every time I drive by that place I say to myself "Wow, I would kill to see a game in Blackham!"
I know I have suggested it on this message board a few times, but i've never emailed anone at UL though.

And I am wondering where all these clips came from? Is there an archive hidden somewhere?
I would kill to see these old clips.

[El Sidonio]

I just did some calculations from Bo's stats above, and if we only give him credit that 30% of his shots were from 3-point land, then he'd have at least 4000 career points.

Just a thought.

That was great! Especially for those of us who are were to young to see Bo Lamar play.

[manizzle]

was UL in division IA at that time? I was too young to ever have even heard of Bo Lamar, but did he make it to the NBA?

Great clip, great player. I was in Memorial Gymnasium in Ruston in 1972 when Bo put 51 up on us in an amazing performance. Thanks for bringing back some memories.
