I remember watching Hoppy run, and Jimmy Roseboro and Tom Matte and Bob Ferguson. My first visit to the 'shoe was to watch Cassedy his junior year. They lost to Illinois whose featured back was a kid named J.C. Caroline. Howdy Dowdy? Do I look like Phineas T. Bluster? Captain Video and the Space Cadets, the dancing pack of Old Gold Cigarettes, What's My Line? Hosted by Jon Daley with Bennet Cerf and Dorthy Killgallen and Audrey Meadows. How about Your Hit Parade with Snooky Lansen, Gizelle McKenzie and some blonde bimbo whose name escapes me. Hell, I remember Amos and Andy on RADIO along with Fibber McGee and Molly. But best of all was the magic line from Smilin' Ed McConnel and the Gang, "Plunk your magic twanger, Froggy." Which I did, late at night, when I was sure the rest of the family was asleep -- and I didn't go blind.
