Happy anniversary.  Just a couple of years before I started at MU but happy anniversary to all of you that lived it.  (Wiki indicates 28 Mar but saw 27Mar elsewhere)

Still recall the stinging in my eyes when someone poured a can of Fosters over my head out on the street by Angelo's.     And JT, if you're reading, throwing your beer at the 7th floor McCormick TV screen when NC when into its four corners!

I remember it today like it was yesterday. Brings a tear to my eye. I was there at the Omni for the FF as well as the preceding 3 Tournament games. Nothing can top it when your team wins.

I was a senior and we watched the game in a suite at the Ramada on Michigan.  Afterwords we walked to the lake on Wisconsin Ave.

Watched it in Fla. a few years after leaving Milwaukee. Al wasn't the only one crying.

It was a wonderful day!  A couple of friends and I were at a double bubble hour (lol) at I think a steak and ale or some pub in Milwaukee (can't remember the name). It was Sunday night before the championship game.  We decided to head to Atlanta straight from the bar; it was about midnight.  No flights from Milwaukee.  So we drove to Chicago, got a flight at like 2am or something (we just made it), and before we knew it, we were airborn.  We landed, still a bit dazed, wakled about the Omni, had some breakfast, didn't have any  money with use other than a few buck, flew back to Chicago, then drove to Milwaukee and watched the game on TV!  LOL

What a year!  Let's do it again!  GO MARQUETTE!!

Were you crazy or just drunk?
