What exactly did you do when Penno hit The Bank Shot?

After hugging everyone within a 5 mile radius at the Q, I picked up my phone and called my friend (who had a substantial wager on the game), as I ran up the Q steps screaming, "He banked it in! He banked it in! Penno banked in a 3 at the buzzer! He banked it in!"

I must have done 20 laps around the indy car that was in the Q concourse. I don't think Akron fans were too happy, but it was just one of those moments where it was a "too bad" situation.

i was at a bar down in cincy and doodie my pants almost, ran around the bar screaming, with people looking at me like i was crazy, loved it

[d-day]

I jumped out of my hospital bed and began clapping and yelling.
My sudden movements set off my heart monitor and the night nurse came running down the hall to make sure that I wasn't having the big one.

I explained to the nurse about the winning shot, and then we sweated out the 10 minutes clock controversy.

Turns out my heart is strong and I was released this afternoon.

I was sitting in the second row of the second level, directly behind the Miami bench and above the Miami section with about 40 other Miami fans. The entire last 7 or 8 minutes I was borderline out of controll, screaming at the refs and starting "Defense" chants and jumping up and down and doing everything I could to get everybody fired up and yelling. I have been blessed to see almost everyone of Miami's defining moments and this was right there with Big Ben's pass to Eddie Tillitz and the two in 21 in hockey vs WM and Grunks bombs at the Gund and our two TD's in the last 2 minutes "comefrombehindwin" at Vandy and the comeback from 15 down with 3 minutes to go vs Buffalo as Hatch hit 3 treys and the come from 12 points down with 2 minutes to go vs Majerle and Charlie and CMU in Harper's final home game to win the MAC regular season and Chuck Stahl's 30 footer to win the MAC tournament. We were all jumping and screaming and high fiving and hugging. It really was about as good a feeling as you can have, and I will always remember who I was when it happened.

Hugs everywhere. Hugged Bake and the MSN crew... fielded some text messages (including one from mollautt), sent a couple of text messages.

My favorite moment: During the net cutting ceremony, Monty comes over to the radio crew with a piece of the net draped over his ear, saying "We're goin' dancing...We're goin' dancing!" He looked like a kid on Christmas morning, and I couldn't be happier for him and the rest of the RedHawks.

To me, the best part is: our seniors have an NCAA bid, and will get to play at least one more game. What an awesome night!

I had to watch the replay of it. I started "watching" the game online trying to maintain the karma from previous 2 days, then I switched to TV. Almost immediately upon watching it live, Miami started doing poorly, so naturally, I turned to another channel. Not being able to stand it, I turned back later and Miami had narrowed the gap, but then again, almost immediately, they started looking bad, so I turned off it again. I came back to the timing controversy. Boy was that awesome. I told my wife "I think we're in the freaking big dance." She of course said something like "that's great honey."

So I'd like to think a had a hand in bringing the team a victory.

I loved reading the posts in this thread.....it reminded me of an experience I have related on Hawktalk before, but if you'll forgive me I'll re-run in once again. I was a senior in 1978 when Miami upset the defending national champs Marquette in the first round of the NCAA's. I was watching the game from my frat house at Miami when the final horn sounded, and everyone went nuts. I had recently wrenched my back over at Withrow lifting weights, and when we won one of my frat bros jumped up on my shoulders, essentially rendering me helpless to the back spasms I then endured, and I had to be taken to the hospital for treatment and muscle relaxers. I could hardly move for two days, but it didn't seem to matter because we'd been waiting so long to get by that first round.

I yelled, YEAHHHH!!!!!, bear hugged my two friends that I was watching with, high-fived a bunch of strangers, made my waitress watch the replay, and called most of my Miami friends to tell them.

I caught myself doing the let's go RedHawks cheer on my couch in those last 6 seconds. After that shot dropped in I let out one of the most unattractive roars in my entire life and proceeded to run around the first floor of my house.

My fiancee and I were having a quiet evening at home, planning on meeting friends out after the game was over.

I started drinking at about 3 'cause there was nothing better to do. I was hammered by the time the game started.

When the "shot" happened, I jumped up spilling beer all over myself. I don't remember the exact words that were yelled.

Then we had sex.

It was the best basketball game in the history of basketball. I ended up proud, awe-struck, and hungover.

I think I high-fived and hugged everyone within reach at the Q (after saying a few choice words of excitement)...and then after ref-gate 2007...ran on the court to find the coaches...WHAT A WIN.

[mz343]

With 6.6 left, I was bent over, both hands on knees. And I said to the TV, "C'mon boys, we need to block out, it's a 1and1, we have to be ready." As the ball came down the floor, my head got closer to the TV and when the shot went through, I immediately jumped up and down, lapped the apartment, then dove head first on the carpet (got the floor burn on my right knee to prove it) and just kept yelling, "OH MY GOSH!!!!".

I told MUC01 with about a minute left that we were going to "win this mother******". And, we did!

I hugged someone watching at Coach Cady Arena, and then I too did Beatnik's fiance.

Why do I have the feeling that Beatnik's fiance is never going to see this thread?
