Message: [QUOTE="ClifSpliffy, post: 3411705, member: 9260"] '[I]We drove around the neighborhood screaming at everyone we saw Uconn won the NIT![/I]' my nit story. we had to be in manhattan for some dopey family thing. birthday party? retirement party? someone made it to the airport on time by going on the bruckner? don't recall, but it was another one of those things. anyway, pop's put out the 'find the tv' alert that am, and off we went. a few hours in, pop's pulls me away from the chow table, and sez 'this ain't good. we are officially game challenged. keep close, we may have to bolt.' bolt where? to a bar? to some old friend's apartment? [I]to the gahden? [/I]next thing I know, we're gone, and taking the train to the west side. 'this is gonna be good' im thinking. we hit the box office like ten minutes before tip, and pops points to me and my oversized UConn shirt, and tells mr. ticket seller 'ya got any tix for the kid? he's a big fan.' ticket guy looks at me, smiles (i'll never forget the look on that guys mug), and sez 'here ya go.' walking away, pop's sez something about 'I think these are pretty good.' (luv,luv,luv it when you're walking into a venue and you don't know where the seats are, but you keep walking closer to the action. sweet.) floor seats! a few rows right behind the basket! [SIZE=2]in the ohio section. [/SIZE][SIZE=4]who cares, we're in! later, when I asked him about how that happened, pop's said that ticket guy told him an ohio fan in front of us on line, just turned in/or told him that he didn't need them. I felt like Ralphie on xmas morn when he opened up the Red Ryder BB gun present. and then we won the championship! later, after he let me jump around the floor for a bit, we leave the building, pops pulls out and lights the topstone, and sez 'son, that was fun, lucky us.'
