Panther Fan Back from the WIN
wow, if you guys thought it was great on TV. its even better in person. Do not miss out on this chance sat.
Now i will fill you in on some fun details about the trip.
8 am wake!
ahhh what a glorious morrning. Its st. patties day and i plan on getting jaked on green beers. ok so i turn on the news. and the first story i see. UWM FANS ON THE NEWS! Well, what could it be. They are trying to find a bar at 6 am that is open. "Its st. patties day, isnt there any bars.?" wow, we milwaukians can not take our millions and millions of bars for granted. What a great start!
So i take a shower, meet up with the boys and we get some breakfeast. Me and Harker were technically on a date bc i bought his breakfeast. tee hee hee. So i get a ham and bacom homlet. yum. and whats this, home fries. fries for breakeast? why not. So i ask, what are home fries? the service worker replies "it looks like this" mhmhmhmhm looks like a tator tot. So its a tator tot. "No its a homefrye!" So we eat some breakfeast and get down to the pep ralley.
The band looked sharp and well rested seeing how they took a flight into cleavland. Lucky dudes. And were drinking Green Beers trying to get jaked on them. The pep ralley was stimulating yet not so pepy for me. I was too busy drinking.
1145 eastern time. we load the bus and head for our destiney. We arrive and go to will call. Enter the Cleave St areana and scope out the competition. Man Bama is f***ing big. it wasnt looking good. We all basically concede that Joah will not win the tip and we will take the defence right away.
Bama Fans. not to many students. cant really blame them, most of them wouldnt believ ethat Bama was going to lose plus they would most likly have to fly and not every college student can do that. SOME COLLEGE STUDENTS COULDNT TAKE A BUS! Thus the tone could be set for the UWM fans. from which i hear our crowd was very auidible the whole game. GO US
The TIP! Joah WON it! those Tides are not so tall. Wait a second. YES THEY ARE. they spent the whole game dunking on us. but be afraid not, this tale is legend of hairless warriors guards ready to shoot the 3. Right away i felt like Bama was in control , but the hoop was so big for us. A 3, a tre, and some steals. Gaining control of the game. and were in the lead.
and here comes the resevers. Jason, you were my hero. Your defence and hustle is a major credit to why i college basketball. and derek ford. turn around jumper. NO DONT TAKE IT! WOAHHHHHHHHHH! it went in! GOOD JOB FORD! that made the day all the better.
5 min left about. 32-15. and were winning. Did i get too drunk last night that im still not all there. NO WERE KICKING ass. and more importantly our score is unbelievable considering is first half of ncaa tournament game.
NOTE ABOUT FOULS: If anyone has a beef with the refing,they should take a chill. UWM got called on the biggest ticy toc stuff ever. In the words of ed mccants. "im never in foul trouble. it was like high school for me" with about 8 min left UWM had 8 team fouls and Bama had 3 team fouls. yup. crazey as usuall. Fouls balanced in the second half, but that doesnt make up for the elbow mccants took in the face. It doesnt make up for the two body drops hill took on the way to the basketbal only to get a traveling call. but, UWM did gets some crucial/subjective charging calls. but thats march for ya baby.
Moving ON. ..... ... . . . Towards the end of the second half we could all smell the victory. But no body wanted to admit it. Bama had erased a 15 point lead to 5 and 13 point lead to 5 twice. we knew Bama had it in them. Then came the last 3 min. Great job breaking the press. and Smart play, combined with some key offensive rebounds allowed UWM to milk the clock. PLus James WRight did an excellent job he had the easy hail mary pass and did not go for the lay up. Ed on the other hand after break pass and took the ball took a 3 ball, at which i was like " SLOW DOWN NO DONT SHOOT, YES YES YES!)
Stomach turning. Joahs 4 missed free throws give me big big knots in my stomach.
Then victory. The guys looked so happy. The first thing they did was run towards the students and give us the #1 sign. Mission acomplished.
Cleaveland as a City....
The side walks are big, and everything is reasonabley with in walking distance. There are not that many bars. Serious. Im not joking. I got many reports of people walking around for hours to just find one bar to go party at. If you go, plan our walking schdeul out. You will not be in milwaukee were there are 3 strips of just bars. The rock and roll hall of fame, it accessable by walking or taking a cab. Right now its reasonabley priced at 17 dollars for 4 floors of rock and roll. Go there. Its a great time.
I cant stress enough to go.
