The big guy Obioha is starting to grow on me if he can only stay out of foul trouble!

Great defensive effort at this point , haven't seen this type of defense from an NU team in a long , long time.....back to the Marshall Wingate days .

I did see him, hard to miss, still pretty imposing looking. It was a long time ago but I don’t think he was a great guy. NU needs Obi One

I remember Ruland and the transfer shooter from St> Agnes crashed that house party. Ruland was a jerk drinking beer and helping himself to food in the refrigerator. A resident challenged Ruland and Ruland grabbed the kid by the neck. Thank goodness, DePalma (?), St. Agnes grad knew some NU guys and told Ruland to back off. Tales at NU!

My roommate , Rinella ‘s cuz and Rick Caufield wanted to fight him. I’m like WTf , I think I pulled them back. I said Jeff , please take whatever u f…g want. True. Good memory
