Cable Car Classic '95

OK, Penn State basketball fans, how many of you were like me, glued to the radio in late December 1995 for the games in the Cable Car Classic in San Francisco?

Yeah, you know, the time Danny Earl faced off against Steve Nash and cleaned his clock. Who remembers listening to every play of that sweet win over Santa Clara?

And who remembers the unlikely championship game against Bradley? Penn State won and came home the champs, leading to a great basketball season.

I remember this like it was yesterday, and whatever I didn't remember I came back quickly when I read our Penn State hoops memories column for Saturday.

Wow, Lea Asbell-Swanger and Terry Swanger, of Boalsburg, were there for that Cable Car Classic and shared their memories in this wonderful column in our Centre Living section.

What an experience that was. And what fans they are.

Thanks for the memories, from one fan to another. And as I wrote in my printed column last Sunday, I hope you like these hoops memories columns as much as I do. Look for them every week, and don't miss next Saturday's by a former Lady Lion from the early days.
