True story. In the HC library I noticed names & initials on the lamp shades. Mischievously. I would write Cooz or Tommy H on lamp shades. Wouldn't you know, some days later a classmate excitedly told the guys he was sitting under a lamp signed by Cousy. I smiled.

I recall reading in the alumni magazine that HC got $3,400 for the Cousy lamp at a sports memorabilia auction. I hope the defrauded purchaser doesn’t visit Crossports

I know the song, but what is the connection with the Cooz? I must be missing something

Even motor cycle gangs wore ties back then. What's the Cooz collection?

Never knew the connection between Mr. Basketball and The Leader of The Pack! Well, that was fun. Watching it today is a trip. The guy on the motorcycle does not look like much of a "leader of the pack". |

OK, the statute of limitations has probably long since run, mm67, but I am sure you recall that in Campion Hall, on the main floor was Notis Pizza ("you'll NOTIS the difference") but down in the basement was a laundry with wooden bathroom stalls.
Carved into one of the stalls, someone wrote "Some day I'll own this place! - Ray Swords '38" While it was obviously not totally freshly cut into the wood, it was even more obvious that this wasn't done in the mid to late 30's.
Considering your confession to the lampshade vandalism, would you care to own up to the Fr. Swords scam?
