I really hope he works out the way Fisher thinks he well!

That's all for me today( Better than Yesterday!?o_O:LOL:) YOUR TURN!!
 
I remember Stams....Boy was he a flop...I remember Pisa....That's when Hawaii was really recruiting good...I definitely remember Collins...Think he's outta Penn State...Solid....Tucker was GSOT...Huge man with a center number...Great FA pickup...

Ray Ray...all the hype...moved outta position...great ST player...guarantee when he's a 5 year vet, he'll figure it all out....He will be the LAST PLAYER I ever rate on HYPE...Dudes all on the net saying Ray Ray this..Ray Ray that...then he ran that 4.7 40....and my ears pricked up...Then I watched Hi-Light clips...sucked me back in...After last preseason, I had to listen to my heart, and observe with my eyes...dude can't play...not LB...And @CoachO was saying it all along...

Ayers is #50....OK.....U.C.L.A. fight-fight-FIGHT!!!
Dick 'Crazy-Legs' Daugherty:
That nickname should be retired....seriously
 
Dave, I appreciate you posting all these numbers. Quite a few remind me of when I first became a fan of the LA Rams. Ken Iman was the center I remember back in those days as a kid. Special times.

I really enjoy this! Love seeing so many great Rams from decades ago; kind of like a family reunion. And a great way to remember Dave and all the work he went through in researching all these player by their numbers.
