Indeed. I'm sure EJ and sneakypower are too.

 

That's sad. The Traylor/Bullock/Ward/Conlan/Baston UM team was my favorite UM team even if they never officially "played" for UM. Winning the inagural Big Ten tourney was the highlight of my Michigan basketball experience until they made the Tourney again 11 years later.

I wonder how his pro career would have gone if he would have played in college.

Ah, good timing to see the Dirk Nowitzki trade lolz reemerging.

You think you were the only person that mentioned his name the day before he died?

besides aunties $50,000 SUV the main thing I always remembered about Tractor Traylor was the round hairless spot he had on his head during the Big Ten tourney...like he had ringworm or something.

Well that blows. Way too young for him to die, but a heart attack isn't all that surprising. I have fond memories of those teams.

i loved him when he was the big boss man
