If it were up to me, Wintz would be on a fan scholarship, full ride.
re: SDSU and mocked former UNLV coach Jerry Tarkanian by insinuating that he'll die soon
The 6-foot-9, 230-pounder had a bunch of bananas tossed in his direction during pregame introductions prior to the Jayhawks' 75-63 victory over the Wildcats on Feb. 11, 1978, at old Ahearn Fieldhouse."It was like the whole damn town bought bananas and brought them to the game," Von Moore said."They covered the floor in a nationally televised game. It took an hour to clean that floor, there were so many. It was like everybody in the stands had bananas."It was in response to KU fans flipping a handful of hot dogs onto the court at a K-State player before the Jayhawks' 56-52 victory over the Wildcats a few weeks earlier at Allen Fieldhouse."It all started when our fans threw hot dogs out there when they introduced Redding. I think that was his name," Von Moore said, correctly identifying flashy KSU guard Curtis Redding."It was a big deal. When we went down there (for the rematch), we heard what they were going to do. We heard they were going to throw stuff at us. Instead of going onto the court, we all went down and shook coach Hartman's hand when we were introduced. We figured out it'd be safer to go stand by him," Von Moore added of legendary coach Jack Hartman.Of course, the bananas aimed at Von Moore were no laughing matter."It ticked us off," Von Moore said, "because at first we thought it had some racial connotations. They were basically calling us gorillas. Later they said we threw hot dogs so they threw bananas. It's just food. We beat them, so that's what mattered."
i witnessed our athletic department telling a guy in the front row of the student section to take off his monkey/banana costume because they thought it could come across as racist.

My parent's friend was at that game as a student. He said it was racial. His quote is "that guy was the missing link".
We got number 5 based on one sign, some bananas from ages ago, and THE rough ridin' MASK?I feel like 5 years of being a complete angry boo monster was for nothing.
