Message: [QUOTE="FfldCntyFan, post: 4260132, member: 71"] I've always kind of felt that we put Gonzaga on the map and kind of helped them out in the process of putting them on the map. They pissed me off beyond description in the 1999 regional final when they just wouldn't go away. Every time I felt "now we will make a little run an put some distance between us" they clawed back, remaining in striking distance. It wasn't until about 25 seconds left that I felt fully confident that we had it. Then, the head coach (Monson) leaves, handing the job to someone who turned out to be a far better coach. In a way, we made Gonzaga. Not like Al Gore inventing the internet, but actually contributing to them being the Gonzaga everyone knows. [/QUOTE]
