I'm a cork on the ocean
Floating over the raging sea
How deep is the ocean?
How deep is the ocean?
I lost my way
Hey hey hey

I'm a rock in a landslide
Rolling over the mountainside
How deep is the valley?
How deep is the valley?
It kills my soul
Hey hey hey

I'm a leaf on a windy day
Pretty soon I'll be blown away
How long will the wind blow?
How long will the wind blow?

Re: Roy's Reads

Quite the moving story from SI:

Quote:
The Legacy Of Wes Leonard

You may have heard about the Michigan high schooler who made a game-winning basket and then died. Here's the rest of the story: a violent car crash, a bone-shaking tackle, a near-perfect season, a reluctant substitute and a search for the will to carry on

Re: Roy's Reads

Pretty cool re-print of a Paul Hemphill-penned Sports Magazine article about the '70 Jacksonville basketball team (Artis Gilmore, Penbrooke Burrows III, etc) up against the mighty John Wooden-led UCLA Bruins.

I saw that Austin Carr 61 point game at the UD Arena. ND vs. Ohio U.

I just read that this morning, Roy. A must-read for anyone who's a student of college basketball history. Pretty entertaining even if you're not though.
