My favorite moment is what I call the "Jumping Up and Down." It happens when the game is completely decided, but not quite over. E.g., we are up 30 with 2 minutes to go, etc. In my considered judgment, ;), the JUAD officially begins when Geno pulls the seniors, either individually, or in 2016 when he pulled Stewie, Mo, and Tuck all together, as was fitting.They have so much energy, because they have achieved the goal of winning the NC. But they cannot really do much of anything, yet. They cannot celebrate exactly, because the game is still going. They cannot charge the court. Etc. So, they stand on the sidelines and JUAD in utter bliss. My favorite JUAD was in 2016. Stewie backed up in action her bold claim that she wanted to win 4 NCs. And she completes her goal against Syracuse! I mean, you cannot make this stuff up. And, to top it off, BriannaP, the beloved walk on, hits the last shot! I thought Stewie was going to hit the ceiling, she jumped so high with complete joy. [MEDIA=youtube]FXaDYKOG9c4:6787[/MEDIA] For the JUAD, start at about 1:49:27. This never, ever gets old. I must say that I miss the JUAD. If we don't get to experience it this year, next year we look so very strong. We shall see. Care to share? [/QUOTE]
