Didn't someone once post the notes that Lute had of our players? I remember him saying Roger was a warrior. Or something like that. Hopefully someone still has it somewhere.

Attended the game in person. Like someone on this thread said earlier, it's the greatest sports event I'll ever attend live in person, and that's fine with me....even if I'm only 34 and who knows what could happen in the future.

Went to Schoolyard after the game and won't forget how random I-L-L chants would break out just because.

The next day was Easter and I had no voice. Totally worth it though!

+1000 I was at the game too and went to Schoolyard after as well. I passed out on my cousin's porch which is just across the street from the bar.

I'm thinking mid 90s. I know that team that in 96 that lost to Kentucky in the championship game played it.

My sister and I's 16th birthday was March 28th so that night family members were over and of course we had the game on.

I was also pouting throughout second half.

We had satellite TV in living room and a small antenna TV in kitchen with people watching on both... The TV in the kitchen was 1 second faster than the satellite...so when it came down to it people were screaming in the kitchen before we knew what happened. So I watched the end of the game on a tiny old TV.

I think it was Roy's notes that had that. But maybe they both did.
