Always good to celebrate (includes interview)
Happy Tap to Pardon day!
- Thread starter BosCat
- Start date
Ranks in the Top 5 sporting events of all time for me. And I am no “spring chicken”! Best of all, I was there to see it in person.
My seat was 5 rows up at the FT line behind the bench when Pardon received that pass. My second year as ST holder. My schedule sort of got a bit easier so made more sense for 18 games per year
Me, too.
I gave away my first set of tickets to the game because I was supposed to be on the road. I ended up being around and bought tickets a second time. No regrets!
One of the best live moments memories I have from NU.
I remember exactly where I was at for this game I was working in the fishing department at Dick’s Sporting Goods and I had the game on and when the play happened, I just remember jumping up in the air knocking over stuff and a customer told the cashiers upfront that the guy in the lodge department is going berserk over that last second play great times!

There have been a number of great in person moments including the FB win over PSU in 1995 (we knew we had arrived), The last win at ND, IN BB the recent victories over Purdue, IL, and IN many of them in OT. Even last nights Martinelli last second shot to win ( followed by him signing his Bobble head) But that one really ranks up there near the top

I was there, slightly above the basket where Pardon scored. Taphorn threw the pass straight at us. Incredible.
I wasn't too far from you, then. I was at the top of that section behind the basket. Definitely a top-5 sporting event for me as well.
And I cannot forget the 2000 game against Mich instant classic. First or second date with Therese (first NU game for her), Or the 2004 win against dOSU, Therese and I were standing in line before the game to get the free Goose Island beer with OSU fans behind me. Turned and told them that this was our way of softening them up so they did not feel so bad when we beat them
I was watching this in the car on the way home from work and got home to flip it on literally during the timeout preceding the play. Having just sprinted into the house, turned on the TV, and started jumping and screaming my wife was very confused...
There aren't so many 'Cat fans that we can afford to be too cavalier about mortality rate!

Was she confused because you weren’t watching from your couch?
Was it neither comfy nor schmumfy?
