 he followed me while I was at the schools.  I attended UGB while he was there (and while Tony was lighting it up...he was in one of my big lecture classes) and I went to grad school at Wisconsin during the Final Four run

You know, I have to say that someone with that kind of background should be really full of themselves.  But, despite your greatness, you still tend to be somewhat humble, from time to time.  Maybe you should write a book.  You could call it "Almost a Bennett."

Maybe I could do the forward.  I  ATTENDED UW STEVENS POINT a mere 6 years after Bennett left.  I left Point a few years before Jack Bennett started . . . CRAZY!!!!

I lived in Madison . . . . WHILE DICK WAS COACHING!!!

I was in England when the Badgers were playing in the Great 8 in 2000. . . and I READ ABOUT THE WIN ON THE INTERNET!

I even SAW TONY BENNETT at my current place of work.  He is one hell of a singer, and even showed off his latest grammy during a private performance for the staff.

LOL, jalap.  Don't make me take off the gloves.  Just because you're related to me doesn't mean I won't smack you around.

And you will be "Almost a Bennett" only in your dreams, sucker!

Oh, by the way.  I was living in Green Bay when Tony Bennett played for the Packers!  HA!

And it's the ELITE 8, not the GREAT 8!  What are you, simple?

The Bennett story is a long one.  In the early to mid 1980's, I was a walk-on at UW-Stevens Point, where Tony's father Dick coached.  I had to gaurd Terry Porter... didn't make the team.  I played a lot of pick-up games with young Tony a junior high kid who could shoot the lights out then.  He wanted to play one-on-one and I used to joke that if he started to beat me, I would start blocking his shot.  He went on to star at UWGreen Bay with his father as coach.  After his NBA career, he fairly quickly started coaching and learned how to combine the old school Basketball of his father with letting his players play like he did.  I like to see Tony getting some well deserved national attention.
