Ron Barassi is cheered on as he dedicates the Barassi Wing ... albeit some 30 years after the wing was named for him! Barassi Wing was originally so-named as a mark of derision, due to others' perception that the inhabitants were 'jocks'. The name was embraced by its denizens with a pride that grew stronger and stronger, in-step with R.B.'s fame and achievements. |
