... and will soon take it's rightful place on my Wall Of EMAWesomeness.

1 down, 3 to go. I'm not gonna be able to sleep till these are safely in the hands of beautiful EMAW folk.

I have that card already.  Very nice, I must say.  I have thousands of EMAW cards in my collection providing me inspiration and joy on a daily basis.

8 years old so I lost mine, but I got two autographs from him that year. He was my original favorite K-State athlete and was always super nice and cool.

Always be a special place in my heart for 'Ski.

Was a ballboy with my bro behind the south basket for that game.  When Ski was on about his 13th of 14th 3 pointer, I called Willie over to get him to change up his K-S-U chant with S-K-I.  Don't think he ever did.  Made a 5th grader sad.

He should of listened. Would have been sweet. I just remember the crowd going crazy and my dad telling me he might break some record. We got up by like 30 and ski was taken out and the students started chanting his name and coach put him back in to make a couple more. I think I remember the students all waving their arms and bowing to him saying like we are not worthy and stuff. I dunno dude. It's been awhile.

The crowd chanting his name until he came back out of the locker room and waived his jersey around.  I have been to a lot of  basketball games but that was the only time a player was screamed for until he came back out and gave an encore. Incredible

Let's hear one.


J Freeman lived with us in a suite in Haymaker freshmen year. All his stories are pretty stupid though.

I walked in on Marvin Simmons stealing crap once. Crazy dude

I'm fairly certain I still have a piece of Ski's fingernail embedded in my cornea from playing rec ball.

That card is epic
