I wonder when Big Joe's conference team previews will come out? Always a good read! His 2002-03 Horizon League preview has really stood the test of time.

Speaking of the 2002-03 Ramblers, I Googled a player on that team who was famous on Ramblermania for wearing a gold lame' suit on the sidelines of a game.
It turns out that he returned to his native Baltimore and met with foul play recently (pretty sure this is him):

Way to hijack a thread, Swella.

That must be the Terrance Whiters who played at Loyola from 2002-04. He was from Baltimore, and the age matches up.

He scored 488 points while at Loyola. He later transferred to Towson and Arkansas Tech. He played pro for a few years in the PBL.

Here's a LoyolaRamblers.com story (with a picture) about a game at Wright State where he scored 22 points..

I didn't set out to hijack the thread. I intended to gently rib Big Joe about his not doing a conference preview on Ramblermania for over a decade. This led to me to think about Terrance Whiters. I googled Whiters to nail down his years at Loyola, and found out about his murder. It's definitely him; there was an "Increase the Peace" exhibition basketball game in his name recently.

Might be a good idea to carve out a separate thread for the Whiters' stuff if that's something a mod. can do.
