[QUOTE="Roundball Sage, post: 1879253, member: 748116"] Every year there was always one day to circle on the calendar that I would have to be ‘Sick’ and away from school (and then work)... and that was the Friday of the IHSA Tournament. Funny how that illness affliction always seemed to hit me on that day every year. Like clockwork. (And it STILL does). And the occasional year or two when I just ‘couldn’t’ be sick on that day for some damn reason I used every means necessary to keep up with the game developments. And then one year... a miracle happened. I actually got to attend one of the early Friday games on the hallowed floor of the Fighting Illini. That was a true, transcendent and ecstatic experience... walking into that shrine and seeing the teams and the fans and the excitement in person. So many people over the generations have so many rich and powerful memories of this great tournament. All of us could use much more of these amazing kinds of experience in the course of our lives.
