Somebody referenced it on FB, and I found this. Not sure exactly where it is. Anybody been in?

That's a cool story

by bobbywal, Oak Park, Monday, May 18, 2026, 16:33 (6 days ago) @ Jay

I saw something on fbook that was, frankly, a bit cringe-inducing (for me), but that was absent any background - and the background here, makes all the difference..

I also recall Das Kloskas' bookstore dominance.

Well, it's in the Kloska's back yard

So unless you're friends with them, you aren't getting in. (And I don't know anyone who is) :)

The address can be googled given that the last name and street address are in the article - basically on St. Peters just south of Napoleon.

I grew up ~10 blocks west of there but also between Napoleon and St. Vincent … and I lived on St. Pete’s st my Sr year …

But I had no idea about any of this house’s history …

One of like 13-14 kids including a bunch of adopted siblings. Grew up in [s]SB[/s] Elkhart.

He was a Carroll Hall dude. Played golf. Graduated in 90 or 91?

He beat a very bad sickness but always fighting relapese.

I have spoken to him in a year or so; I hope he is still well.

Very religious. IIRC he may have spent a year or two in seminary.

Looks like he is sick again. Please pray for him.

Dos Kloskas: winners circa 1996

I guess BBall players use to play! They aren't allowed any

Technically they can, yes

by Captain Robb, Tuesday, May 19, 2026, 10:05 (5 days ago) @ Grantland

But it has to be their senior year after they've fully exhausted their NCAA eligibility.

I think maybe Matt Carroll played bookstore back when I was in school?

But in general, these days I can't really imagine a guy doing that and risk tearing an achilles playing on blacktop against a bunch of nobodies, unless they are 100% done with basketball. Maybe the walk-ons.

I think that change happened when I was there

by Jay, San Diego, Tuesday, May 19, 2026, 10:23 (5 days ago) @ Captain Robb

They allowed Keith Tower to play as a graduating senior. Gauchos picked him up and they went to the final 4.

That is saying a lot!

Are those courts still there?

Dos Kloskas - gotta be brothers

by BPH, San Diego, Monday, May 18, 2026, 11:53 (6 days ago) @ BillyGoat

They were the champs in 1996, my junior year. The 97 champ was a knockoff, Dos Geses, featuring Alumni Hall legend Billy Gese.

Showtime then Primetime (or was it the other way around?). My guys Raam Jani, Kevin Hughes and Empey.

But don't forget about the other Gese in the Dos, Alex was a baller too.
