My second day at ESPN, fall of 2003, I met Howie Schwab. I was walking into building 4 and a fairly frumpy man stopped me “Doug Gottlieb, 943 assists 7th all time- played at Notre Dame and Oklahoma State, lost to Duke in ‘98, Auburn in ‘99 & Florida in ‘00… great passer who couldn’t shoot… Howie Schwab,nice to meet you” Such a brilliant memory and a kind man. RIP Howie.
@GottliebShow Did he mention when you guys came to Creighton in 97 ranked 18th?
@GottliebShow He didn’t know then you couldn’t pick NCAA Tournament games either #RIP
@GottliebShow Just realized I was there at The Dome to witness your collegiate career end to UF 🐊
@GottliebShow Haha! That’s our guy 🪦🙏🏻 They should name that Bldg after him
@GottliebShow Credit card stats weren’t available yet
@GottliebShow I played against you when you came to Kentucky and visited with the Carriers one summer.
