I had a teammate who was the heir apparent at left corner behind Eric Harris in 1976. Fantastic athlete and cover skills. Played at Melrose. Converted to Buddhism that year and bailed the same week Ralph Griffin went nuts. He kept a little Buddhist shrine in his South Hall dorm room. Really could have used him the next two years. He showed back up in the Spring of '79 after three years in the military. Lasted two days in practice and never heard from him again.

Awesome story.

Then make sure when you're head coach, you don't emulate Josh's style.

What I hate is seeing him waste that much God-given natural talent. He could have played on Sundays and been drafted along with Eddie Hill the following year after Butler, Wright, and Simpson.

Apparently, utilizing his "talent" in your eyes, wasn't what made him happy.

Buddhists don't believe in "god", do they? As a Buddhist, he was probably worried about the spiritual reprecussions of routine infliction of physical suffering on opposing players.

Ummm...yeah...he uses quotes from Buddha, that doesn't mean he is a Buddhist. He used to have quotes from Ralph Waldo Emerson...does that make him a poet?

I hope Josh can sleep at night knowing you don't agree with him. I know it kills you to be a nobody, but those are the facts.

memphomike · 12-07-2012 06:13 AM

Ill give this to TG4, Josh could find better quotes to use.
