    The spitball cover - from the 60s. First issue I ever read. When I left there, one of the young men on my team gave me a copy of it he found on eBay. About as nice a gift as I've ever received

    The Miracle on Ice cover was indeed one of the greats.

    I LOVED this one. After reading the story, I became obsessed with Indiana State and Bird.

    And this (can you tell I was really into college basketball when I was in high school and college?):

    And this one -- just 'cause I never thought I'd see Tech as the preseason No. 1:
