Book Your Flight To Some Summer Reading Adventures …
I have a bit of a love/hate thing about John Thompson.
Like/dislike, to be more accurate.
Dislike because I often felt that about the way Thompson, the Hall of Fame basketball coach at Georgetown, went about his business.
Like because I very much enjoyed reading his autobiography, published posthumously and given to me as a Christmas present by my son Troy.

Hot meets hot As Beavers, Ramblers collide in Sweet Sixteen
Oregon State has reached the NCAA Tournament’s “Sweet Sixteen” for the first time since 1982, when Lester Conner led a young crew of post-“Orange Express” Beavers to an “Elite Eight” appearance.
That team featured Conner, juniors William Brew and Danny Evans, sophomore Charlie Sitton and a freshman named A.C. Green. The Elite Eight matchup with Georgetown ended badly, with the Hoyas, led by center Patrick Ewing, administering a 69-45 whipping. Georgetown would go on to lose to North Carolina 63-62 in the NCAA finals.
