Team Meeting 1978

Some of my favorite times in college were the Track team meetings we had at Rec Hall in 1978 and 1979. They were held in the room behind the bleachers that had windows overlooking the golf course. One of the many offices Coach Groves was shuttled between by his friends in the Athletic Department. The meetings were great! They were profane and exhilarating, no one would believe what happened in there, so we kept it to ourselves. They cut into our running time, but it didn't matter, because our heart rate was higher during the meeting than it was while running!

Does anyone else remember these meetings, or am I just imagining them like I did the dual meet with Villanova?

Anyway, I recently discovered this footage of one of these meetings, smuggled out by a hammer thrower or decathlete and passed around for all these years. Finally revealed!

  1. In actual fact, I witnessed an attack like this at Six Flags/NJ where all the trim on a Mercedes was stripped off by a pack of baboons before the rangers came and saved my Ford Escort from any damage.
