In the Super Dome. I don't know what row I sat in but it was floor level. John Wooden sat in my row on the other side of my section. He was really frail and had to be carried to his seat but he was there.
Rony Seikaly sat directly behind me and cried like a baby.
I had to blink away some tears too when it finally happened.
One Shining Moment is tough to watch in person when your team is featured. It was surreal in that almost no one was talking to each other or interacting with each other at all. Almost everyone was using their phone to take pictures or videos, or talking to someone someplace else.
In my parents basement drunk as a skunk being told 100 times to calm down.
Lol well played sir.We’re talking 2003, not now.
Ha. The ticket buying frenzy Sunday - Monday afternoon was crazy. People buying, trading up...etc. some of us ended up with great seats.
I might have shed a tear...I was definitely shaking the final 2 minutes...and because of where I was sitting it looked like Kueth Duany reached up and grabbed the final shot above the rim. I thought it was goaltending for a fraction of a second.
Then all hell broke loose...
The KU comeback was furious and I half expected to get hosed somehow / someway.
I was in Argentina as a missionary. Got special permission to watch the title game.
Should change your handle to CanoodlesDuanys imo.Row 19 sitting next to the Duany family. Hugged and kissed them all after the win.
Pre game, he tried to convince us that there was no way we would be able to stay close to his great Texas team. TJ Ford of Texas was named player of the year that season and this clown actually thought he deserved it.In New Orleans at the game, sitting next to Tomcat. Obnoxious guy sitting next to us on Saturday night was wearing a Texas tee-shirt. Same obnoxious guy sitting next to us on Monday night ... was wearing a Kansas tee-shirt.
So nice that he was a two-time loser
