My second favorite part is the michigan players standing around looking sad

"No, honey, I'm fine. Really, I think the mold content must be high today" (as I sit here watching this video with tears streaming down my face).

An all-time great moment

With all due respect to the Purdue games, still the greatest moment in NU basketball history.

The same sense of joy mixed with profound relief and exorcism of many years of shame and disappointment felt during the entire second half of the Gator Bowl, but with several hours of emotions condensed into 2.2 seconds.

Somewhere in a basement in the great Louisville area, I was screaming like a maniac.

The MI game always triggers my brain to think about the game against Rutgers that year. It was a really putrid Rutgers team, we needed to win, we were supposed to win. We did, but boy did we almost blow it.

Above heroic is maybe... incredible heroic! Greatest play in NU hoops history and I doubt any other great plays are even close.

What a finish. To top it off my son posted some something on NU social media that night which got our entire row $10 Jersey Mikes gift cards lol.

Thought you were celebrating this OT win over Nebraska:

Or the 21st anniversary of the best bad Big Ten game between NU and PSU that went into 2OT and ruined the afternoon for millions of NBA fans.

If there's an HD version of the Pass clip itt, I might be able to see myself about the 1:39 mark. All the games I've been to, I never make in on tv - but that clip scans up high enough and definitely pans across my seats.

That was a very good Michigan team, Walton, Irvin, 2 first round NBA picks and Duncan Robinson. Great game. And Michigan got extra free throws because the refs screwed up.

I can't tell you how many times I've watched the clip (including today) where I just fixate on a random person in the crowd and watch them turn to jubilation. One guy I saw today had the funniest cringe face right before the ball went in. You really can't go wrong watching anybody, but now I want to find you!

I love the way the manager runs over and grabs the ball... very disciplined effort on his part!

That might just be legendary Wildcat facilities guy Scott Arey. He doesn’t have time to be amazed.

I had two seats in 112 against the back rail (great to lean back against) and a little off center, maybe 6 seats from the east side stairs there. I honestly can't remember the numbers atm.
