I was actually paying attention to the girls doubles team that I was coaching at the time.<br /><br />Thort - Sadly, the Vikes ran into a buzzsaw in the forms of a Moeller comeback (from 16 down with 10.5 minutes to go).<br /><br /><br />Good luck imprinting Max on the roundball.<br /><br />Sully - I swear, man, there needs to be a website that has the full tournament record (scores of each game, full tournament brackets) for the 100 years of the IHSAA tourney. It would take some work and research, but it could totally be done. If only you had some summer time.<br /><br />Seriously, a 31-point win? That has been emptied entirely from my brain.<br /><br />And, yeah, I wasn't at my strongest the next day for Hi-Q. I remember Richardson saying that he knew we were in trouble when the other team buzzed in, and I just rolled my eyes. I was exhausted.<br /><br />I'm not saying I'm entirely subdued. Just this past week, when Princeton was rolling up a dozen-point win just after halftime, I yelled out 'shoot it' (not screamed, just a little louder than teacher voice) when the opposing shooting guard crossed midcourt. I'll admit to having a huge weakness for a shooting guard with no fear, long range, and a quick release.PHSChemGuyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13704670328790930306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14575185.post-26745154232821476152010-03-19T15:21:54.633-04:002010-03-19T15:21:54.633-04:00Your memories are pleasant, especially the part ab...Your memories are pleasant, especially the part about a tight win for Jeffersonville. Here's a hint--I got into that game if that tells you what kind of margin the Devils were working with. Incidentally, we were ranked 3rd, they were ranked 6th. And it was 86-55...the thing I've found in coaching is that it's way easier to have sharp recall of games you've lost.<br /><br />You were up until 2 that night? This goes a long way towards explaining the beating in Hi-Q we took the following day. I don't recall being too chipper myself.<br /><br />You didn't get it all out of your system. Hint: "Shoot it!" every time Sibbitt crossed halfcourt at the Hall of Fame.<br /><br />I'm with you, though. I never had been a fan per se since I was always on the team, so the following two years I did turn into the raving loony up in the stands. The game for me that probably caused the epiphany was the state finals loss to South Bend Clay in '94. Ever since, I've been much more subdued and more of an observer of the game rather than a fanatic.coachsullivanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16474779329481837500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14575185.post-30114587506717369712010-03-18T11:59:54.300-04:002010-03-18T11:59:54.300-04:00i, too, hope the vikes march through the field!! ...i, too, hope the vikes march through the field!! <br /><br />i appreciate the sentiments regarding cheering and yelling. wish i could say that i am as subdued, but alas, i am not. i do refrain from using profanities and being personal, but it is not in my nature to remain calm. <br /><br />i will be spending my weekend camped in front of 2 tv's with The Boy teaching him the finer points of March Madness. dont ask me what a 3 week old can comprehend, but it will be fun nonetheless. <br /><br />GO VIKES!!thorthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17304329666004941707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14575185.post-32069558037038804882010-03-17T17:22:46.456-04:002010-03-17T17:22:46.456-04:00That pic cracks me up.
