    RIP Luther Rackley

    Credit to Joe Titan for alerting me to look for his obit.

    The rumors on campus anticipating his arrival were along the lines of "second coming of Lew Alcindor."

    Had the pleasure of watching an early round BE tourney game two years ago.

    RIP LUTHER
    It's a still great day to be a Muskie, but a sad day to be a supporting member of this board.

    Safe home, Luther.
    ...he went up late, and I was already up there.

    Thanks for confirming EMP (I was concerned others might not know of Luther); he also had a stint in NBA with Cincinnati Royals.
    I have seen only two great plays: Hamlet and put the ball into the basket

    Sad to hear. I remember going to games with my dad and watching him play at Schmidt Fieldhouse.

    Golf is a relatively simple game, played by reasonably intelligent people, stupidly.

    I remember watching him played at Schmidt when I was a freshman. I think he was the tallest player X had up to then. We were amazed to see him every time he walked into the cafeteria. He was so much taller than everyone else. RIP Luther.

    Always nice. I am still amazed we didn't win more games with future NBA players Luther and Bob Quick. Both excellent.

    Wear blue at games!

    Eternal rest grant unto our brother Luther, oh Lord, and may the perpetual light of Christ shine upon him.

    And he grabbed 25 rebounds in a game against the cryers!
