if you find a video please post it. I tried to send it to my nephew by phone...well most of it and couldn't get it through. I was shocked how thin Steve appeared...much closer to Tom's body when he played...
I have a better graphics but file is 417mb and too large to send. If there was a FTP site of something I could upload. Otherwise you will get the 22 mb poorer graphic version ...or should already have it...
Could you just post it on YouTube? I was there and saw it myself, but that would seem an easier option than email.
sorry for not thinking about this sooner...and was moving the phone due to people moving in front of me to get some food...
Right there with Rowinski. No telling how good his brother, Tom might have been had he not been playing behind John Garrett, both greats from my era.
Thanks for posting/sharing it...it is something that any fan of Purdue basketball would/should appreciate, and, those that had the pleasure of watching Steve or knowing him would appreciate it even more...he was a great player, but, was/is an even better person...and he is yet another great representative of Purdue University!
I probably played too much ball in the co rec when I was in school...that and shooting pool. Back then the players outside the season (and the freshman team too) would play...and in the summer...maybe the courts behind the sears in the evenings. Anyway I told this before but I had Dan McDermont (sp?) on my team (or better yet I was on his team) and Tom Scheffler was on another team as the bigs and a shot was taken and I was just outside the lane went up for the board (back then I could jump a bit) to haul it in and Tom just reached over above me and took it from me and I remember when I hit the court thinking ...what am I doing with these guys...they're just toying with people like me. Tom was a better jumper than Steve, but Steve sure made the most of his abilities. Those guys sitting on the bench...they're tough players as well...
yes, I will send this to my nephew that always liked Steve now that I learned how to post on youtube. Steve was a gentle giant...
I REALLY like Bardo doing games!!!!
don't feel bad...around 40 years ago I ddn't know Tom had a brother that would play at Purdue...like the Austins..like Reids or sons like mounts...like Anthrops...like Eifferts and Parkinsons
it seemed like Mike and Garrett were always around each other in Lambert. Anyway, in case you haven't kept up on MIke other than his coaching at Depauw
THAT is what a motivational speech should sound like. (1) He gave everyone his humble self-assessment of how far he'd come; (2) Included anecdotes that his audience recognized; (3 )Made references to why we are on the same team, and it's a GREAT team; (4) Spoke about the challenges of Calculus. Anyone who attended Purdue can surely relate to that!; (5) Outright enthusiasm that makes you like him right away. Being dyslexic, I believe he turned himself into Academic All-Big Ten, no small feat.
Or brothers-in-law like Doug Lee and Todd Foster. Although 40 years ago you would have been aware that Brian and Steve Walker were going to play for Purdue☺️don't feel bad...around 40 years ago I ddn't know Tom had a brother that would play at Purdue...like the Austins..like Reids or sons like mounts...like Anthrops...like Eifferts and Parkinsons
absolutely...but in my haste and doing a few things....my mind isn't as sharp to remember all I should...AND sometimes THAT is a blessing!
That's because they were both either PE or REC majors-most of their classes were in Lambert
Yes, I know....back then I was going to coach and in Indiana you had to be a PE major. Employment with a P.E. degree and conversations wiht research engineers at Cummins led me down a different path...hence i became a lay coach. Today, I'm not sure I would even need the waiver for basketball.
