Memory Lane
One last hoops post before we switch back to pigskin heading into Saturday's game. I mentioned Ed and Tyus in my post below. So here is probably one of the five greatest moments in my life, involving those two Bruin legends. It is finally up on YouTube:
Our HT goes to Dump Dorrell for this priceless find.
This video begs the question of where were you that specific moment? As for yours truly, I was watching the game with all my room-mates at our apartment at 403 Landfair Ave. (2nd floor w/ the balcony facing Landfair). Anyways, my 2 room-mates (the 3rd was at the game at Boise) and 10 other friends were huddled in front of the tube in the living room. I remember the moments right before those last 5-6 seconds. It was excruciating. One of the guys watching the game had all but given up cursing out Jim Harrick for coming up short again. Lol Anyways ... then the magic happened. Bedlam in the living room. IIRC we broke both our coffee table and the side table.
Everyone poured out on the balconies.
Oh, yeah, it was the Sunday before Finals Week. I had two the next day. But didn't matter. I was walking on air. So was rest of the Bruin Nation.
So where were you that day or during that very moment? I'd love to hear your memories of those magical 4.8 seconds.
Just 7 days til Ben Ball.
Yeah Baby.
Thank you God/Jesus/Buddha/Allah/Krishna for Ben Howland.
GO BRUINS.

Has any one else noticed ...
The play-by-play person is completely caught off guard by the inbounding of the ball. He's still talking about UCLA being knocked out of the tournament in the first round the year before and it's not until Tyus Edney is past half court that he starts to comment on the play.
One of the most dramatic moments in college basketball and he completely fails to set it up and enhance the drama.
I always thought there was something wrong whenever I watched that video and now I realize what it is.

Hard to believe that was 11 years ago
I was at my apartment on Veteran during this game. Total bedlam throughout the building, and just a few weeks later, we'd be dancing through the streets of Westwood.
Good times. Good times.

At Home
I had videotaped the game and we kept re-running the tape long after the TV announcers stopped, just watching in amazement.
Thank you Tyus, Ed & George. True magic.

At my apt. on 729 Gayley Avenue, baby.
I ran to the balcony connected to the common hallway, facing out to the Medical Plaza parking lot across the street. Cheers and shouts echoed from the bars, the frat houses, shoot, probably even the dorms.
Nothing like the sounds of an entire community victorious on a Sunday afternoon in the Spring...

Must have been great for you being there in 1995.
