I had the great chance to sit courtside for this game with my dad, thanks to the most generous woman on this board, and that I've ever met. Joyce, I cant explain how awesome it was, and I cant thank you enough.
We started out parking in a parking lot right outside of the dome.
We were the first ones there, about two hours early and got to watch Cooney and Ennis walk into the dome. We went in soon after. Walked into the VIP room, got ourselves a beer and started to soak everything in. Met a really cool ex marine who has baseline courtside seats. He wants to come to Alaska, so I gave him my number.
We headed down to watch warm ups. Our seats were right across from the SU bench. Xmas and BMK were warming up right in front of us, with the help of Griffen Hoffman. They were joking around and playing some warm up games.
My wife is telling me to get to bed, lol but I wanted to tell two storys:
At half time, we had to use the rest room bad (thanks to the blue lights we were drinking) Orangeyes, sorry I ducked out so fast after seeing you, I just really had to go haha.There was quite a line for the rest room, but made it in, and out.
As I was headed back into the VIP room, I see HCSS talking to someone. As he started to walk away, he saw me looking at him and said "Hey young man" I said "Coach, I flew in from Alaska to watch you beat Boston College" His eyes got big and he said "that was you?!" (I tweeted him as I was getting on the plane and said that I was flying in for the game. Never thought he would read it, or remember) He called his wife over and said "Hun, this is the guy that flew from Alaska!" He looked at me and said, "Man, its a good thing we won then huh" It was awesome. The amount of stuff that man must have on his mind.. to remember a stupid tweet, I thought that was really neat.
