wgstl Posted January 11, 2023 Posted January 11, 2023 Maybe Fordham can break the record on the anniversary, currently have 4 points at 10 min mark of 1H Quote
brianstl Posted January 11, 2023 Posted January 11, 2023 The only thing about that game 15 years ago was watching peanut butter, jelly time during what were supposed to be the commercial breaks in the pirate feed I was watching. Honestly, I can’t believe it was 15 years ago. Quote

NextYearBill Posted January 11, 2023 Posted January 11, 2023 Watched the game @ Flannerys on Wash Ave. $10 buckets of beer…. Great time until it wasn’t…. Then we got the check and informed $10 buckets were for happy hour and ended after our first… the next 4 buckets were $25/each. Worst day of my fandom (not counting losing to SIUE at home) BrettJollyComedyHour, MattyMo213, dlarry and 1 other 4 Quote

Taj79 Posted January 11, 2023 Posted January 11, 2023 I WAS THERE. Me and SLU_Nick. The opposition fans took pity on us. I hate that feeling. Quote

Players were quite surprised to see me. I just knew where the bus dropped off the opposing teams for GW games, so I just stood on that corner a couple of hours before the game. Quote

Taj79 Posted January 11, 2023 Posted January 11, 2023 Hard to feel like a winner after that one, even 15 years later. The one thing I remember most about that game was being seated in the lower level, like a row or three behind the bench. Went out at halftime to get some refreshment and when I returned, the access to the gym floor was blocked because the Bills were re-entering the court from the same stairwell. The look on Majerus' face was priceless. Total exasperation. Wish I had a camera back then. Quote

The look on Majerus' face was priceless. Total exasperation. Wish I had a camera back then. ha! I remember my first time walking into the Smith Center (after years of watching basketball games at Savvis), and I was like...is this a high school gym? To add to the GW story, I was at the game with a very good college friend (Brett), who had heard more about the Billikens in 3 years than he cared to hear. He and I were able to sit in the front row of the student section because it was still winter break. Brett heckled HARD with all his acquired Billiken knowledge. The absolute best was when Tommie Liddell was inbounding the ball about 5 feet from us and Brett yelled: "Bet you wish you would have gone to UNLV now, huh Tommie!" Tommie turned around and exasperatedly said: "How the f* do you know all this?!"\ I think UNLV is the right school. It was where Liddell briefly de-committed from SLU for. Quote
Box and Won Posted January 11, 2023 Posted January 11, 2023 Just another painful milestone on the relentless 40-year kick in the gonads that is my Billiken basketball fandom. brianstl and BC1764 2 Quote
