I can't argue with any of the above. Some of these brought back some great memories.
For the Carey's slam against LSU, I was stuck in the office late with the game on the radio. I didn't know one of our student workers, an undergrad, was also there in his cubicle listening to the game until Carey's shot at which point we both started primal-screaming and bunny-hopping down the hallway like baby goats on a sugar high.
Kind of the same for the MBB win over Rhode Island - my usual MBB-watching crew was out of town so I watched alone at home. As soon as the game was over, my phone rang - I picked up the phone and just yelled, loud and long - best part was, I was getting the exact same reaction on the other end of the line. I am almost certain my upstairs neighbors, both Duke grads about to watch their game against Kentucky, had to have hated that - I did not hear a peep from them for months afterward :-)
Otherwise, I would have to add the list, #9 WVBs comeback win to upset #1 Washington (22-0 to that point) in Burnham in our last championship season, 2004-05. We dropped the first 2 sets 28-30, 11-30 then came back to win the next two 30-27, 34-32...talk about scrappy. In the fifth set, we were down 14-11 and came back to win 20-18 after a service ace by Jen Hucke. That 5th set alone had 23 tied scores and one lead change...double scrappy! Ogannah Nnamani ka-boomed the Husky Women for 37 kills that night too... epically great stuff!
