Remembering The Glory Years of Weber State Basketball

[WILDCAT]

The first Weber game that I actually remember was our Big Sky championship vs NAU when we went on to beat North Carolina, ever since I have been a diehard, through thick and thin.

what year did you guys see you first ever weber state basketball game?

i happen to remember my first ever game because it was in the record books. it was BYU-UT @ weber, 1990. the crowd was the 10th largest in wsu history, 11,000+ and BYU-UT had a player that was 7'6".

Some game where Rico Washington was playing. Don't remember for sure what game but it would have been in the late 80s. I remember Rico because he was about all Weber had then and I also remember that he looked like 40 or something thanks to his receding hairline. I had been attending football games for years prior to that though.

I went to my first home game during the 79-80 season, but I had no idea what was going on. I was a bit young. LOOOOOOOOOL!! I do remember games during the 80s, but nothing specific. It had to have been during the McCarthy era, because the place was always really full. I remember my parents parking really far from the East entrance because they wanted to get out easier. I do remember a game against Montana which Weber lost to in like 85 or 86. It was really close. I remember my mom saying a bunch of swears. I didn't know Refs weren't called SOBs till I started playing basketball. :lol:

When I was in elementary, I met Rico Washington after a Jr. Jazz game. Kinda weird, but all the guys I played Jr. Jazz with went to Weber games, so we all knew who he was. Sad that isn't the case so much anymore. I think its because our sports marketing is the shits, but...To me it was one of the coolest days of my childhood. He signed autographs for us and played some hoop. Really nice guy.

Personally, my favorite games were during the Abegglon era. I remember Elroy Miller, Robbie Johnson, Kirk Smith, Al Hamilton, Ruben and Lewis, and Andy Smith. I was heart broken when Weber got killed by Purdue at the Dee, and how the Cats barely lost to Purdue at their place the next year, when they didn't have Glenn Robinson. Nonetheless, I can say that I have been a Weber State fan my entire life. Nothing better than watching the Cats. Screw the Jazz (yeah Cheese, I went there), I'd much rather watch the Cats play.

I do have a bunch of road game stories (I've been to far more road games than catdbagcat, I'm a bigger fan than him, since he is a total wanking sod tosser), where bengalhater and I went to. It was weird being at B..Y..U without bengalhater, I guess I will have to get use to it. He can never get a kitchen pass. But, I digress...anyway, there were a lot of fun times. For instance, he was escorted off the Rose Garden floor during the 08 Semi-final game. LOOOOOOOOOOOL Buzz Cut tried to fight him.

I lived in Logan when my dad got a job teaching at Weber and subsequently moved the family to Ogden. I was 13 at the time and yes bitter about the move. My dad bought family season tickets to Weber games. He drug us to them, so to spite the old man, we would chant Weber State Sucks, Sucks, Sucks (ya migraman, cheesus, and wazzucat were there with me. admit it guys) during the fight song. lol. Well, all of us have since repented and hate the aggies and love Weber. The first game I went to as a Weber fan was one year after the Boyette days (I just started going to school there). I really became a big fan in the hamilton, sparrow, patten and danko days. I still remember watching hamilton making a buzzer beater, game winning three after djstryde told him to shoot it. Rushing the court was awesome that game!
