It was the venue I've always hoped it could be. I tried to take a step back and soak it in at times. It will be the first time I go back and watch a loss on my DVR. I want to see what it looked and sounded like. From the inside, it was crazy. I've been to a number of different venues around the country. It would be hard to do much better. Bonkers in there...too bad we could never quite get the lead back late in the 2nd half. They would have gotten a head start on some of the demolition work.
There were probably 60-80 alums, going back to Joe Ruklick's era. Maybe more now that I start to think of it. From more recent vintages, Goode, Rankin, Eschmeyer, Jennings, Jenkins, Duvancic, Vukusic, Seacat, Doyle, Nash, Coble, Moore, Tolic, Scott, Capocci, Curletti, Sobolewski, Pejlusic, Okrzesik, Fruendt, Day, Montgomery III, Ryan, Steger, Williams were all there. There was a gathering in the N Club before the game and they brought them to the court at halftime.
Also, for those wondering, they did a Welsh-Ryan top moments 1a and 1b. 1a was Demps raining 3s to beat Michigan in double OT two years ago. You know what 1b was.
