So Hyman won the nations top female athlete while there at UofH in 1977, a year before I arrived so her presence was still being felt. Who knows, maybe our paths did briefly cross.
I knew ladies on the volleyball team at U of Houston in the late 70s. Don’t recall flo being there at that time but their coach was indeed the US Olympics volleyball coach, maybe her name was Wolfe I’m thinking off the top of my head. Not certain because I was normally ducking from such stern and focused gazes as hers. The team was run like a navy ship crew, they ate together, lived together, took classes together, many of them wearing gym shorts tee shirts and flip flops the majority of the time they were seen out in public. Most of their time was spent practicing. Yep, they’d normally eat dinner two hours after the cafeteria had closed to all other diners.
I knew several of the ladies who followed in Flo’s footsteps in playing professionally in Japan (Rose Majors) was also a former cougar volleyball player (6’2”) Olympian who played pro in Japan league and coached in Tennessee USA after leaving the sport actively. GM would love this lady! 😹
And yes, GM there were rumors circulating about these women’s romantic preferences none of which was my business but I will say that looks can be deceiving and I won’t say how I know but trust a brother, every closed eye ain’t sleep.
Dammmmitt theone, where are the videos?!
Anyway I checked out a couple of her videos and she was indeed awesome and towering over her teammates.
Her face is familiar too and I'm pretty sure I've heard of her.
Very sad how she died..and away from her family!
Strange that her Olympic team never won Gold, if I read correctly.
Ummm, she does look Gay. Was she Mr TheOne?
Just curious. lol
