good find

The best line of the story- "you cant edit history". Same deal goes for 2008. We all saw who was there no matter what the NCAA record book says.

I had forgotten about Andre's father dying that year. Stinks.

How long has it been since a reporter talked with Andre Turner, Dwight Boyd, and Vincent Askew for one article?

I think the author captures the bittersweet character of being a Tiger fan. This article is a treasure.

I love this quote by Vincent Askew!!!

Quote:“I played with Tim Hardaway, Chris Mullin, and Gary Payton,” Askew said. “Some Hall of Famers. Keith Lee is the best player I ever played with.
