Tony Grier: A Raging BULL!

Thanks to my great buddy, Tony Grier!

As in former USF Basketball Player Tony Grier, a 6'3" guard who was one of the best players in BULL history. If my info is correct, he is still the Bulls 6th all time leading scorer.

Tony's writing a book about USF Basketball in the Sundome, a book that nobody is more qualified to write than he. In my opinion, he was one of our first big time recruits. He is also a great guy in a way that benefits our entire community. In a way, he built the SunDome.

For what it's worth, the best our band ever played may have been in the Sundome, in the 80's, opening for The Outlaws and Marshall Tucker. Why? Well, Max made friends with the soundman... We got as good a mix as they could give us, which an opening band ordinarily never gets...

Tony occasionally comments on our blog. Hopefully he will become a regular contributor. Read his comment on this post!
