    I recall seeing Mike Hanson at subsequent SDSU games and cheering for the Jacks so I think he had some good moments at SDSU. I dont think he left SDSU and may have completed his degree engineering since he was close to finishing when his scholarship was pulled. He was a pretty good student. I think Mike had more issues with how his scholarship was handled than he did with the institution. His younger sister did play for Augustana though.

    Mike was listed as 6' 11" as I recall, but what about the two Native Americans brothers from Pierre. Seems like they were 7 footers. They played about the same time as Mark Tetzlaff. Got a real brain f@rt here can not recall their names plus saw only of them play once because I lived out of the Brookings area when they played.

    The pulling of scholarships that year was ugly. I want to say 1989. There were two others that lost their scholarships, two Juco's, I can not recall names and dates, but this was not a proud monent in SDSU basketball. Btw Mike was also a PK(Preachers Kid). His dad was a Lutheran Pastor in Yankton. I remember talking to them a few times, very nice people.

      The Ashleys? I don't know if they were full 7'0, but I remember watching a 6'2 friend of mine look like a kindergartner at a high school playing a pickup game against them in Ft. Pierre maybe ten years after they graduated (give or take).

      Don't know if either one of them majored in history. As I recall, their father was an engineer who (again, IIRC) passed away a few years ago. But I could have that info completely garbled.

        Kurt Meister was pretty tall, and I think he was a history major.

          Kurt was more like 6"8 or 6'9. He looked tall but a great guy. He married the Women BB center Angela Swenson. Both are teaching in Rochester Minnesota I believe. I think I am getting to personal here, but both were household names when they played for SDSU.

          Some of the early 80 and late 70 alums need to chim in here as King Ling Lingingfelter and Winzenberg were more towards 7 feet too. I lived in suburban Chicago at the time so never got to see these guys play.

                Joe Ashley was here in 1982-83. He was HUGE! (7 footer) I remember when he grabbed some pie from the Medary Commons by reaching over me. I felt like a first grader. I think it was apple pie.

                  They're big like Shaq is big. Well built 6'0 proportions, but at 7'0 scale.

                    Winzenberg was closer to 6-6. Lingenfelter was about 6-10. Jim Walker, about the same height as Lingenfelter, played in that period, too.

                      I remember clearly that Winzenberg was listed as 6'9" tall, but he wasn't as tall as Walker. I'm guessing he was 6'8", though.

                        Thanks Guys. Talking past players is more interesting than muttering "I like pie."

                            Did SDSU have a scrimmage with Mankato this past weekend? On a tweet, Margenthaler said he was back in Brookings on campus, and was just wondering if that could be why. If so, any observations?

                                You don't win or lose a scrimmage, that would be like saying we won at practice today.
