Final game until the national championship game. Who you got?

[VetteMan]

Know nothing about Louisiana Lafayette, Hoping for a Miami of Ohio victory. I forgot to check, is this game being played in Florida or in Alabama ?

Alabama. Louisiana Lafayette was formerly called Southwestern Loisiana. I remember when Marshall basketball was ranked in Top 10 during NCAA tourney and lost to SWL 112-101 in 1972 first round game. Dwight "Bo" Lamar averaged 36 ppg for the Ragin Cajuns that year and he played at Columbus East High School on their 2 championship teams in 68 & 69. Anyway back to this football game. LL beat Ohio U by 20 in Athens this year. They should win this one .

That was not a fumble

That was not a fumble

They didn't show the view from the top, ball was moving down his chest after the hit before he was on his back. F-U-M-B-L-E.

I remember Dwight "Bo" Lamar, he wasn't very big, but he could sure light it up on offense. Columbus East was tough back in the City League in those days.

I may be wrong about this player, but I seem to remember a kid by the name of Ed Ratleff, ( probably wrong spelling ) that I was hoping would go to OSU, but instead I think went out west ( mayby San Diego State ) that also played at Columbus East. Also was there a center that went to Illinois by the name of Nick Conner ? I'm sure they played before Lamar did, but when you mentioned him those names came to me.

They all played together at East, Ratleff went to Long Beach St. and was 2 time all-american & NCAA tourney qualifier for Jerry Tarkanian before he went to UNLV and yes, Conner went to Illinois.

Thank you, I remember at the time being disappointed that Ratleff didn't go to OSU.
