I was passing through Tigertown this afternoon and swung by the football office to see if it was open and get a picture with the trophies and such. Saw Tim Bourret there and got a pic with him. Nice guy. Legend. The older guy who was manning the desk there pointed out someone and said "That's Larry Nance." Now, Nance was a little before my time - I graduated in 91 - and I didn't really remember what he looked like. The guy was about my height (I'm 6'3"). I was thinking that Nance was taller (looked it up later, he was 6'10") and older (this guy looked around my age, 50ish). I called him by what I thought was his name, Larry Nance, and he played along, acted as if we'd met before and was super nice. Told me how he never forgot a face. Now I'm wondering who the #### I met!!! I'm sure he and his family that were there got a big kick out of it. I wondered why they were all smiling so much as I was talking to him! You know that old song, "Everybody Plays the Fool"? Well, that was me. So - anybody recognize this guy? I heard Tim Bourret mention something about Vince Hamilton. Possible? The guy said he lived in Wisconsin and he had a son there who he said was a HS senior and basketball player. Hope they enjoyed my gullibility! And for the record, if you're ever there and there's an older white haired man behind the desk, don't believe any famous-people IDs he gives you!

https://www.facebook.com/vtphcom Pretty sure you met Vincent Hamilton. His son Jacksun plays Basketball in LaCrosse, Wisconsin. Photos on Vincent Hamilton's Facebook seem to match the photo you took.
