Due to a painful business trip to attend a conference in Sacramento I was unable to be at the Robin Center for the game. In fact I was stuck in meetings thru the first half but checking the game on CBSSports. As soon as the meeting broke I raced to the bar in the Sheraton Grand Hotel and had the bartender turn on ESPN2 and I was good.
As some of you might know my daughter is a UR cheerleader, which I announced loudly to the crowd at the bar, and all of a sudden there were about 12 new Spider fans in the Sheraton bar because they thought that was pretty cool. THEN a lady walked up and informed me her son was a soph at UR so they were in and cheering as well. Small world.
It didn't hurt that the game was destined to be an "Instant Classic" and was an amazing game to see, but the group really got into it and the Spider story. There were lots of high fives and hugs to go around at the end of the game, the Jack and Cokes helped as well.
Just wanted you all to know that the excitement Wed night was coast to coast.....
