Okay, so I’ve been digging into this Ronnie Bass guy’s football stats, and let me tell you, it’s been a bit of a journey.
First off, I started by just trying to get a general overview, you know? Like, who is this guy? Turns out, his full name is Ronald Edwin “Sunshine” Bass. He was born in 1955 and played high school ball at T.C. Williams High School. Sounds familiar, right? It is a famous school.
Next, I wanted to see what he did in college. This part got a little tricky. I found some mentions of him playing for South Carolina Gamecocks from around ’74 to ’77. He was a quarterback, and apparently, the guy could throw! There was this one game against North Carolina in ’74 where he rushed for 211 yards. And that’s not even mentioning his passing yards, which were almost 3,000 yards even if he got some injuries.
Then came the real rabbit hole. I was looking for more details, trying to find game logs or something, and I stumbled upon some forums. People were actually talking about him, like, “Bring in Ronnie Bass!” or asking for a related poll, and that’s where things got a bit confusing.
- Some folks were talking about him like he was some kind of legend.
- Others were like, “Who?”
I did find a mention of him on a high school sports stats site, listed for Patchogue-Medford, class of 2023. But that’s gotta be a different Ronnie Bass, right? Unless he time-traveled or something, that’s not our guy.
So, here’s where I’m at:
What I Know:
- Ronnie Bass was a quarterback in the 70s.
- He played for South Carolina, despite the injuries.
- He had some good games, including that one against North Carolina.
What I Don’t Know:
- What happened to him after college?
- Why is he suddenly being talked about on forums?
- Is there another Ronnie Bass out there playing football now?
Honestly, this whole thing started as a simple stats lookup but turned into a mini-investigation. I’m still not sure what to make of it all. Maybe some of you guys have more info? Let me know if you find anything!
I will keep searching and see what else I can dig up on this Ronnie Bass character. Stay tuned!
