|
|
I yelled so loud that I scared my six month old daughter enough to make her cry. My two year old daughter was half asleep, but still managed to look at me as though I was crazy. The eleven year old was in the basement with a friend of hers, and I even though I know they had to have heard me, they still haven't said a word.
And then the phone started ringing, and I talked to five different Miami guys in about five minutes.
And I have to admit, I cried with joy. _________________ And the days that I keep my gratitude higher than my expectations

| My screams echoed off the peaks of Breckenridge, causing random groups of people to raise their heads in an uneasy curiosity. I may have reduced the base depth of the snow by 2 inches! |

I ripped my shirt off and threw it across my apartment! I screamed "Bush League" at the TV for about 5 minutes while they were reviewing the replay.

I jumped off the coach, knelt on the floor, raised my arms and yelled. I almost set off the security system.
Moments later, my UPS delivery-guy called me because he knows I'm a huge Miami fan. _________________ "You haven't lived until you've closed down the I-Bar at 4 A.M. AST." - thechuck_2112

Well, I said "Penno!" as he took the shot, then jumped in the air and shouted "HE DID IT! PENNO DID IT!" and jumped around. Yes JohnnyMAC, there were a few tears from this 2006 alum as well. My grandmother then ran in, asking what happened and if eveything was ok. "It's ok," I said, "everything's very ok."  _________________ "Why don't we schedule challenging, but not demoralizing?"

The phone rang like 5 times, and each time I answered

My reaction was similar - I yelled, and immediately started laughing like crazy. I was with my Dad, but he's a Marietta grad, (who was cheering for us), so no hugs. Then I saw the refs huddling and I paced and complained for 10 minutes. Then I called fellow alum from the Burgh.

I was at the Buffalo Wild Wings in Lebanon.
When I got there, the Miami game was on a very small set in the corner. I immediately requested that it be put on the big screen, and to the credit of the manager, he put it on ALL the big screens.
Sadly, I was the only Miami fan in the building. When Penno hit it, I jumped out of my seat, danced around the entire restaurant, fell backward into my booth seat and kicked my legs up in the air and did a bicycle! Some guy jokingly said to me, 'IT DIDN'T COUNT, HE DIDN'T CALL BANK!' I was getting anxious when the final play was being discussed, as Mrs. Chris W. wanted to leave to pick up the kids. I told her that there was no way we were going anywhere until we got a resolution to the situation. Fortunately, it turned out the way we hoped!

I lost my doodie over at a friends place (OSU grad) and ran around his apartment jumping on his furniture and screaming 'MIRACLE' until I lost my voice. Then I jumped on my two friends like 5 times and did a flip head first over his couch. People out on the street yelled up to see if everything was ok. _________________ Go Redhawks! |

Jumped up and yelled: "HE MADE IT!"

I saw the shot curve and yelled "BANK IT!"
I couldn't sit down so I was already in prime jumping mode.
I screamed louder than I ever thought I could...continued jumping from the sunroom to kitchen and smacked the wall numerous times while yelling something that started with a word beginning with "F" and ended with "YEAH"!
I scared the crap out of our beagles. The male thought I was yelling at him, his sister came over cowering in fear. It took a few minutes for them to go back to sleep.
I damn near broke down in tears.
That is officially one of the coolest moments of my life. I don't know if that is pathetic or not but, frankly, I don't care. |

I ran out my front door screaming "Hell yes!" I kept on running(and screaming) until I was about 13 houses down the street and I was so out of breath I thought I might pass out. At least two neighbors came out to see what the commotion was.
And my five year old followed me out and left the door open so the damn dog got out. It took me 5 minutes to corral him and by the time I got back in my house I had missed all of the BS that happened after the shot went in. _________________ Is this the man that ruined the buffet at the Harrow club this morning? |

I was at the hockey game and my friend called me with 1:30 to go and the score 50-48. We were on the phone for the next 30 minutes with him giving me play by play, etc. When Penno hit the shot, the remaining students in the north end were watching the plasmas in the upper luxury boxes and they jumped up and down and started celebrating. Fans around the arena who were either listening to the game or were on the phone like me started jumping up and down, and yelling as well!
The the remaining pep band members started playing the Miami fight song and the crowd stood, sang, clapped, and cheered. All this while the game was going on and we were down 1-0 with 7 minutes to go. It was a nutty place to be.
After the hockey game, I was both happy and sad about the games. Glad that the basketball team is dancing, sad the hockey team just lost the NCAA bid. But I have to tip my hat to LSSU. They were the better team this weekend. _________________

He he. awesome..that reminded me, mom heard us acting like idiots during the 10 minutes they reviewed the play and she replied " you guys have had enough to drink, chuck has to drive home" My dad's happy look then turned to an angry one, we had only drank 3 or 4 I then told mom to watch sportscenter in the morning with dad and she would undertsand why we were going crazy. |
