After watching the Championship Game last night (gonna rewatch with the Facebook Live synced up), I was wondering who had their 2003 Final Four + Championship experience watching the game at the Dome on the big screen?
my friends & I did both games, after beating Texas we tried to sit in the exact same spot for the Kansas game. I remembered thinking when Warrick missed the Free Throws that we were somehow going to blow the Championship opportunity. Good thing I missed that one!
I went our to Marshall Street & the Sheraton after the game. I don’t really drink at all, and didn’t in college, but I remember the euphoria of winning akin to basically being drunk. Riot police were out on Marshall Street, lamps were being thrown off of balconies inside the Sheraton, it was mayhem. I’m 6’4, I had a buddy on my shoulders at one point without his shirt on swinging it around his head like a lasso. I showed up at class, half delirious from from the events... and a couple of classmates said they saw me on the news with my friend on my shoulders, I had no idea the footage was being taken.
Great memories from an amazing run by the Orange, it is, and will be, easily my favorite championship from any team... I wasn’t at New Orleans for it, but I was certainly at the next best option!
Were you at the Dome that night? What was it like and how’d you celebrate?
