I need a favor - when was the orginal O-Zone officially founded? I want to start making an anniversary post on O-Zone social media when this date occurs from now on. I assumed January 2001 but I'm not totally sure of the exact date.

I know that there was a group called the CrazyCats (might have been spelled differently) before the O-Zone, and maybe something before that. Just a thought.

I have heard about CrazyCats and I believe they were created around the 80's into the early 90's?

I'm certain it was November 2001 but I am unsure of the exact date. Tim O'Shea was the new coach following the controversial firing of Larry Hunter. We had to line up at the student entrance for our chance to pick our seat for the season. Dan Lowe and several of his friends were there for many hours, and hundreds of us were there in line for at least an hour before they opened the doors. At that point we rushed down to the student section to claim our seat and once we got it on the books, we went on the court and had pizza and met the coaches. O'Shea did a good job with the mic endearing himself to the students, and coach Rhodes grabbed the mic to share the "winning team losing team" chant they did when he played and urged us to bring it back. So here is something to make us all feel old - The Ozone is now old enough to legally drink.

It was a project of a couple of students in the Sports Administration program. It was then taken over by students for the 81-82 school year. Think it died after the 1983-1984 year. Toughest part is finding people to move it forward after leaders graduate. https://archive.org/details/spectrumgreen78ohio/page/250/... https://archive.org/details/spectrumgreen78ohio/page/162/...

So it was CrazyCats not KrazyKats? I think the K-version is a little more cool, but I'm of the generation where kats were cool people.

You mentioned something about new leadership.
