2003 National Championship Watch Party

[SUFan44]

What an awesome time listening to the Facebook Live with the players.

Great memories and I'm sure it was fun for them to re-connect with one another.

Man we miss Hop a lot. No offense to the other guys but I hope he comes back as the successor. Such a great dude.

I think he will.

Man, that was fun.

That Facebook LiveStream was unbelievably entertaining. Quarentine or not, getting all of those guys to participate was a testament to the program. Amazing.

The Facebook live stream was amazing to watch.

Yeah it was!

I'm not on BookFace, but managed to pull it up anyway.

The banter between the guys was awesome.
Andrew Kouwe was hysterical.
Troy Weaver too.

We did a pre-game Zoom happy hour call w/ a bunch of my fraternity brothers before the game, and it carried over into a first half group watch. Such a good time all around.

Too bad all of JB's players hate him so much.

oh man, we don't get to hear Luther Vandross sing it

 

[jordville]

That was awesome! Thank you Matt Park, SU, and all involved! I could listen to them talk SU shop all night. No other school puts that together on that level...

Did someone cut an onion?

The Facebook live stream was amazing to watch.

Especially with Melo. He is great.

The Facebook live stream was amazing to watch.

Man, that was so so good. Fans who got to watch the all guys and coaches together on FB Stream saw exactly what makes the program so special and unique and why Cuse basketball really is a family (not just a slogan) and how much love and affection the players have for each other and for JB.

 

[721Comstock]

Yeah, it just got really dusty in here...

Only 28 in 2nd half after 53 in the first - damn.

GMac 1 dime, and a bunch of TO's.
Almost like he was a Frosh PG or something?

Hak only had 2 boards, and all the dudes on the livechat were busting his stones about that.

 

[SUFan44]

Couple things that really were awesome to hear:

- The Michigan State/bus story. Had to take cabs 5 by 5 to the game because the bus broke down.
- TJ Ford's mom telling Troy Weaver he was going home Saturday at the adidas party. Not sure why he was at the adidas party since we were/are a Nike school, but I digress...
- Andrew Kouwe bringing the Michigan State student newspaper to Melo and showing him that Alan Anderson said he was going to lock him down. Hilarious.
- Josh Pace giving Boeheim a couple nice shots to the ribs about his playing time that year.

Great night.

Considering how many of them have never watched a replay of the game. And probably all of them have never been together since then. I think they enjoyed it more than we did. And Coach Hop. He belongs here.

That Facebook stream was AWESOME.

 

[HOFCeluck]

Melo played fewer minutes in the title game than Buddy Boeheim in your average ACC game #stats#agenda

 

[upperdeck]

I didnt recall that we had doubled Heinrick on that last shot

Absolutely. Really fun to watch and hear those guys interact tonight.

What a fantastic ending to an unforgettable championship season. The losses and disappointments have been easier for me to take since that night and always will be.

Probably cause when watching it live, you were pacing around the room like the rest of us and that last play was a bllur.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

GMac missed every shot he took in the 2nd half?

Overrated.

 

[Chip]

The Facebook live stream was amazing to watch.

I was mesmerized by it. It was a lot of fun. Really good of all those guys to do it.

I was 12 years old and was doing that.
