He's brought respectability back to the Marriot Center after Glen Potter (along with Danny Ainge)

. Why did BYU let him go. Was it he tried to be the next Sun Watts? Lee Bensons mentioned that in a column. He had some good players there. But after Kite, Aimee and Roberts left I think BYU went downhill. I went to a few games when I was in Provo when I was young but I don’t personally remember him as a coach. Ladle Anderson is the first one I remember.Originally posted by happyone View PostFormer BYU basketball coach Frank Arnold

He couldn't replace Ainge and had a couple of down yrs
Steve Klauke long time voice of the Bee's. He retired after last season. For a while he also was a host on AM570 when it was a Sports Talk radio station. I really enjoyed hearing him call a game

I used to listen to him on the way home from Jazz games with my dad when i was a kid. At least I think I did. Regardless, I remember him on 570.,Originally posted by happyone View PostAin't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

Hit by a car. Really sad. He should have had more a chance to enjoy his retirement. He seemed liked by everyone locally.Originally posted by happyone View PostAs I lead this army, make room for mistakes and depression

I thought he called as good a game as anyone outside of Vin Scully. To bad he never had a chance to regularly call games at the big league level.

Bruce Bastian - Former student director of the BYU Marching Band.Comment

Sad, I don't think the BYU band has ever been as hip as it was while he was at the baton. To this day, I still chafe at the memory of a post-Bastian band performing at the Texas A&M Holiday Bowl debacle. . A&M's band performed first at halftime and marched with precision and power that matched their first half D, kind of like the German Wehrmacht in the first weeks of WWII. Then a Bastianless BYU band skipped out onto the field and opened with "Hey Look Me Over," and the emasculation was complete. Bruce would not have let that happen.Originally posted by Shaka View Post
Bastian also gave us, for better or worse, WordPerfect.Comment

I worked for Word Perfect in college. They had been purchased by Novell by that point.

When WP opened up their big new campus I was one of the original employees of the Hard Disc Cafe! When you teach a less popular language at the MTC you will occasionally get a two-month "vacation" when they skip a month bringing a new district in. So, during my 2.5 years at the MTC I had stints as a pizza delivery guy (loved this one), telemarketer (shiver), and, as said above, starting the Chinese food station at the cafe. My memory is hazy, but I am pretty sure I never told these employers that I was only there for two months. As a 22-year-old who didn't eat or have a place to live if he didn't work, I wasn't all that bothered by omitting that.
I don't remember if Bruce ever came to the Chinese food station, but if he did, it was probably one of the comforting thoughts he had in his last days. R.I.P.Comment

WordPerfect didn't age particularly well, but it paved the way for the word processing program we all use today. So for that, I am thankful. Also, I do sometimes miss the ability to open all the codes and remove all the unnecessary commands in a document, but I find that was a problem mostly created by WP's inability to adapt to copy-paste from other sources.Prepare to put mustard on those words, for you will soon be consuming them, along with this slice of humble pie that comes direct from the oven of shame set at gas mark “egg on your face”! -- Moss

The reveal codes was a great feature. Not sure why someone else hasn't put it in.Originally posted by Donuthole View PostAin't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.
