Okay, so the other day I was going down this rabbit hole, right? I’ve always been a huge basketball fan, and I was trying to remember some of the college teams from back in the day. That’s when I stumbled upon this old roster from Winston-Salem State University, the 1991 team. I thought, “Why not dive deep into this and see what I can find?”
First things first, I hit up the usual spots online, you know, just to get a general feel for the team. It was tricky at first, lots of scattered bits of information here and there. The team’s name is the Rams, which is pretty cool. I found out they play in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Who knew, right?
Then I started digging for anything related to the 1991 roster. This is where it got a bit more challenging. There wasn’t a single, neat list waiting for me. It was more like putting together a puzzle. I found a few mentions of the team on some sports history websites and university archives, but it was not enough.
- Started with general searches about Winston-Salem State basketball.
- Narrowed it down to the 1991 season.
- Cross-referenced information from multiple sources.
I spent hours piecing together names and positions from various articles, old news clips, and even some grainy photos. It felt like detective work, honestly! I managed to find some names of the players, but the information was so sparse. Some websites had player profiles, but they were mostly incomplete or outdated.
One thing that caught my eye was the mention of a few players who made it to the NBA. That got me excited! I tried to track down those specific names, but again, it was a struggle. There were some tables that listed draft picks and career stats, but it was all over the place. Not exactly user-friendly.
Putting It All Together
After what felt like forever, I started to compile my own little database. I used a simple spreadsheet to keep track of all the names, positions, and any other tidbits I could find. It wasn’t perfect, but it was something. I felt like I was making some real progress.
Here’s a snippet of what I managed to put together:
- A few names of players who potentially played in the NBA.
- Some basic stats from other seasons, but not specifically 1991.
- Bits and pieces about the team’s history and coaching staff.
Honestly, it wasn’t as much as I had hoped for, but it was a fun little project. It reminded me of how much the internet has changed the way we access information. Back in 1991, finding this kind of stuff would have been nearly impossible without physically going to the university or digging through newspaper archives. And even now, with all the technology we have, some things are still hard to find.
Key takeaway? Sometimes, the journey of searching for information can be just as interesting as the information itself. It’s like a little adventure, and you never know what you’ll learn along the way. Plus, it’s a good reminder to appreciate the history and the stories behind these teams and players.
Anyway, that’s my little story about diving into the 1991 Winston-Salem State basketball roster. It wasn’t easy, but it was definitely a trip down memory lane. If anyone else has any info on this team, I’d love to hear it! It’s always cool to connect with other folks who enjoy these little historical deep dives as much as I do.
