JJ McCleskey

I stayed at Reese during that time too. I actually graduated high school the same year as JJ and played against him in high school. I remember him our Freshman year at UT entering the arm wrestling competition that they had at Reese (can't for the life of me remember what that week was called). He actually did pretty well if I remember.

Reese Week. Good times. Dizzy Lizzy anyone?

Was Dizzy Lizzy the thing with spinning around the bats? I also remember someone having to eat a bunch of saltine crackers. Maybe those went together.

Dizzy Lizzy was indeed spinning around, leaning down while putting your forehead on a bat. Saw many guys eat concrete.... Not sure about the crackers. Sophomoric hijinx but fun nonetheless.

No doubt. I always loved watching JJ play. He was a great story.

Me to!

JJ's one of my all time favorites too. Used to love hearing Johnny Majors say his name on his show.
