Congratulations to Dame!! :thumb:
 
At this point, it's safe to say that he is the all time best player to come out of WSU.

That is saying a lot.

The fact that he is a better person than player, also says volumes about him.

I hope that somebody comes along who is better. However, I won't hold my breath waiting for that to happen. I'm just happy to have been there to witness the whole thing. I feel sory for those that do not frequent the Dee.
 
The school just published this today. Pretty classy video.

Miller and Chambers would have to be at the top of the list at this point.
