Great names. Start filling out the forms. Just putting a name out there on BB&B won't pull it off.

WE finally got Mike Green in there so there is an air of legitimacy again.

Is pitcher Eddie Holman in the HOF? All time leader in wins and strike outs.

I like all of your picks. It is puzzling why Pat Tilley isn't already in the HoF.
I really like Amanda Wilson. She was our "stud" the last time we reached the Final Four. All of 5'10" she played forward and would score over or around any defender. Had that great drop step where she used her body to screen off the defender and she got her shot off quickly....and didn't miss. Or, so it seemed. The average fan, even longtime WBB fans, don't appreciate her. But she is truly one of the all-time Techster greats.
And, I seem to recall she had some "troubles" in her youth that she was able to overcome.
And Robert Godbolt! the unsung hero of the greatest team in Tech history. Steady, dependable.
Remember a game down at USL, went OT and already Malone and Simmons had fouled out. USL had the momentum, and the refs, on their side. It looked bleak. But all Godbolt did was put the team on his back and we out-scored them 18-7 in the OT period. Godbolt scored 11 and got HUGE rebounds on both ends.
Re: Nominate someone for the Tech Sports Hall of Fame
To clear up the Tilley story. He was voted in when he was on the football staff. But when he was notified and when told, he declined because he was ahead of others he felt needed to be in the HoF also or before him. Of course this snub apparently pi$$ed off the administration.
Then he apparently out-kicked his coverage until the new regime.
