Good find by Alan, 6 rows behind the Ohio bench. And the coach of that bench knows a little something about that 10-game stretch.
For that New Mexico State game at The Garden, we were in the front row. Great story. One of the members of the OU board of trustees was at the game and his daughter and mine have been friends since their days in the OU Child Development Center in Putnam Hall. She called my daughter when we got back from NY and wanted to know "who do your parents know?" Lindsey asked why and she said, "my dad's pissed. Your family was sitting in the front row and he was in the second row." No big deal and not trying to brag but it was funny listening to a couple of 12 year olds on the phone wjp were trruly engaged in OU basketball.
The highlight of the evening and one of my all time Bobcat highlghts happened after the game. As we were exiting the arena and heading to the office tower with our host, an OU grad and sports ad grad, the 110 broke into an inpromtu pep rally outside The Garden. Imagine that scene on a Friday night at the corner of 31st and 7th at midnight. I'll never forget it.
