Mike Nurse is a great guy. He used to do a bi-weekly podcast with one of his friends (or maybe it was a teammate) about basketball and his poetry. Mike wrote some pretty powerful verses. I would assume that when Mike's basketball career is over he will go full time into his poetry writing. I think I still have some of his podcasts archived on a hard drive somewhere at home if anyone is interested.

I actually thought no one knew about this, so I was afraid to say it. He was in my English 302 class and I discovered that he was a very gifted poet. I guess a gal he dated in HS was very spiritual and emotionally connected. Anyway, the two of them very spoke to eachother in poetic prose.
It's great that he's found a medium to show off his skills now.
It is, however, sad that the two of them will never be able to reconnect with a "long distance dedication" since Casey passed on. RIP Casey!

Ah, it's too bad I didn't know where he was playing earlier - I spent half of last year in Finland - I would have made a trip to see one of his games.

I had a radio show on Kure and we would have Mike come down and share some insight with us. I actually had no idea he was into poetry and you wouldn' know it by many of his candid views on various topics. Of course the off air stories were a lot better
Helluva guy!

That guy had a sweet shot when he was on.

Mike looks like an animal in that picture. Much bigger than he did when at ISU.

Verdict: Alive
Site was updated on 3-17, so unless Kasem died in the last 72 hours, he is alive.

I never heard he died. That is a hilarious site, but useful.
