Dial L for NostaLgia

It doesn't take a Saint Joe's grad to realize that there is no better number than 22.

Actually, 3,217 is a pretty good one, considering that's how many points L-Train scored in his career.

Next to Tom Gola and with due respect to Guy Rodgers, there was simply no better Big 5 player than Lionel Simmons. Shoot, rebound, block shots, eat 7 Explorers Den cheesesteaks in 2 minutes and kept everything down...the man simply did it all.

He makes us remember a time when you could go to the Convention Center or the Palestra and EXPECT that La Salle was going to win the game.

And yet, somehow I didn't get that feeling when Brian Flickinger took the court at Gola Arena.

Wherever you are Lionel, please have offspring and send them to 20th and Olney.
