I have to admit that I was one of those creeps in 1982, sophomore at SCU. All the students razzed a single player unmercifully when SCU played USF in basketball. That player was Quintin Dailey, so I'm going to beg forgiveness on that one. USF were our real rivals, and it was fun when Quintin Dailey came to town, immediately after molesting a nursing student. No, we didn't hold back. SCU win in overtime, 77-75.

Carroll Williams was our coach and frankly, a marginal one. He took over from Dick Garibaldi who finished first in the conference three times. Williams, in 22 seasons, never finished first once. Not one time. Had a decent record against Stanford, went 5-6 with a close 62-60 win at Stanford toward the end of DiBiaso's career. And his assistant, Dick Davey, later did some decent work at Stanford.
That was an interesting season for SCU. Michael Jordan was a frosh at North Carolina, scored 21, SCU lost to North Carolina.
Five years later, I was recently married, lived three blocks from Stanford and watched Todd Lichti every chance I could get. I'd say I was a fan ever since, but my first Stanford game included Rich Kelley. I was just nine and I couldn't believe how tall he was when he walked by me.
I saw Kelley play at Stanford, too. And he still attends games at Maples.
And times have changes, Mick. Back in the day, player razzing was more common; plus, you weren't a fully mature adult back then. BTW, A friend of mine from Chicago - did Dailey get drafted/play for the Bulls(?) - referred to him as San Quentin Dailey (which I suspect was not uncommon).
