[QUOTE="dtm1997, post: 282221, member: 572"] My passion for college hoops was on the upswing heading in to my FR year, but it, along with my undying hatred of dook, was cemented when Marty Clark flipped off the student section as those ****bags (excl. Grant Hill) walked off the court. Over the next 4+ years, I saw some amazing ACC hoops and for the last 2.5 years, I sat in the front row of the student section except one game. As I leisurely strolled through campus on a Tuesday afternoon, there was a guy hanging out in front of the Ferst Center, where hoops tickets used to be distributed. I go over and ask what he's doing... dude doesn't want to talk to me. He knows who I am. I'm the guy always 1st in line for basketball tickets. Realizing what the hell is happening, I ring the alarm, get everyone down to the Ferst Center possible, set up tents, start taking shifts, etc. It was Tuesday afternoon. By Friday morning, we had our game tickets and for the only time in my last 2.5 years at GT, I wasn't sitting front row student section. Did make a bunch of friends with the crew that beat us out and proceeded to camp out for any remaining games and the entire next season, despite it being subpar. Camped out for 3 nights and only ended up in 2nd row, Student Section. Still, not bad all things considered, I got to see Steph take on Tim Duncan's SR year Wake team. Other highlights of almost 25 years of going to GT games: [LIST] [*]Getting to the Thrillerdome early ahead of Marbury's 1st home ACC game following the renovation and getting a little misty-eyed seeing how great it turned out. [*]Being at this game - [URL]http://www.espn.com/ncb/recap/_/gameId/250270059[/URL] [*]Laying out $700 for 35 tickets to GT vs. Gonzaga in Vegas and every ticket was recouped [*]San Antonio [*]Offering Ish a ride in our cab to the game in Puerto Rico [*]Getting an early taste of what a Louisville crowd is like in Nashville (also, the Brass Stables) [*]Knowing in my heart of hearts that Steve Blake is the all time Ric Flair of ACC hoops [*]Being front row, behind the basket, Georgia Dome, Steph's alley oop dunk [*]Last second Thanksgiving dinner the GTAA put together with the team after 3 amazing games in Maui (the trip you need to move heaven & earth to get to if we ever get invited back) [/LIST] **** Marty Clark. Go Jackets! Good night. [/QUOTE]
