Requiem for the Big East (1 Viewer)

[GOB]

The last 30 for 30 I've been excited to see since maybe the Fab Five.

Anyone else watching?

 

[rockaction]

Yes. In.

My annual Spring Break rite was watching the tourney. Most dudes partied it up in various locales. I stayed home, visited high school friends, and watched the tourney.

Wow I knew the people didn't like Ewing during the prime of Georgetown but no idea that people was calling them stupid and an ape. Even having a guy in the court in ape outfit.

I had no idea that Louie Carnesecca was still alive.

I'm a Cincinnati alum. So I'm not a long time historian of the Big East.

But I love Boeheim, Raftery, and John Thompson.

What a stacked league this was for a few years.

Oh yeah I'm in

I grew up right behind Seton Hall's Walsh gym

I remember sneaking into the gym after school on game nights and hiding out for a couple of hours until the games started

Btw, I went to one Big East tournament in MSG.

I saw the Gerry McNamara three pointer at the buzzer to beat UC. I was devastated, because I wanted to stay for another day. I skipped class just to go on a moments notice.

Still one of the coolest things I witnessed, because I was unofficially traveling with the UC team

I did not see this 30 for 30 yet, so I don't know if it was in there, but there was a sign that said, "Patrick Ewing can't read this sign."

What's interesting is Ewing was on the fence about going to UNC but was worried about "all the racism" he'd encounter.
