One of my all-time favorites at VT. Remember him as the BP Miser when he
held All-American Barry Parkhill to 2 points until the final minutes of the game. I think BP scored a couple of baskets in garbage time. He was also a friend of a girl that I dated who had come from Ferrum at the same time. Enjoyed a couple of beers and talking to him at a frat occasionally.
