Alright, so I was messing around online, trying to find something cool about old-school basketball teams, right? And then I got this idea to look up the 1979 Michigan State basketball roster. You know, just to see who was on that legendary team. I’ve always heard stories about how great they were, so I figured, why not?
First thing I did, I hit up Google. Typed in “Michigan State basketball roster 1979” and bam, a whole bunch of stuff popped up. There were articles, some old stats, and even a few quizzes, can you believe it? Like, who even remembers this stuff off the top of their head?
I started clicking around, trying to find a good, solid list of the players. There were a few different websites, but some of them just had bits and pieces of info, you know? I wanted the full roster, the whole shebang. I found some stuff about the 1978-79 and 1979-80 seasons. They had the roster, stats, and even the schedule and results. Those pages were pretty detailed, which was cool.
There was this one site, I can’t remember the name, but it had a whole section on “Where are they now?” for the 1979 team. That was a trip, seeing what all those guys ended up doing after college. Some went pro, others went into coaching, and some just went on with regular jobs. It’s wild to think about how life turns out, right?
Anyway, after digging through a few more pages, I found a couple of sites that had the full roster, along with some pretty cool details about each player. I even found a few old photos, which really brought the whole thing to life. It’s one thing to read names on a list, but seeing the faces of those young guys, knowing they were part of something big, that’s something else.
Here is the summary:
- First Step: Googled the team and year.
- Next: Looked through multiple websites to locate roster and details.
- Explored: “Where Are They Now?” to find out what happened to the players.
- Dug Deeper: Found a few sites with the full roster and player details, plus some old photos.
So yeah, that’s how I spent my afternoon, diving into the history of the 1979 Michigan State basketball team. It’s pretty awesome to see how much info is out there if you just take the time to look. And who knows, maybe I’ll even take one of those quizzes and see how much I actually learned. It was a fun little trip down memory lane, even though I wasn’t even alive back then. History’s pretty cool, man.
