I'll take this opening to re-share my Zabel story from the 1980s.
A bunch of us lived in Quad, many who had known each other from Freshman year. Great place during hoops season as you could literally run across the street just before tipoff.
Someone decided to form the "Jim Zabel Fan Club". It was more of a tongue-in-cheek thing until membership cards were printed up and we invited Zabel to speak to the group before a Thursday night game (B1G games were always Thursday night and Saturday). We secured a side banquet room in the Quad cafeteria and they allowed us to bring in wine and beer as it was a "banquet" event.
The night arrived and things got pretty crazy, Guys were pretty lubed up. Zabel was late (of course) but about an hour before tipoff he comes rushing in to thunderous applause. He took the head table, drank one shot of something, told a handful of jokes (some corny, some dirty) and was gone in about 10 minutes.
Epic night. Somewhere along the line I lost my membership card, I know at least one guy still has his.
