Posted by The anticipation lasted nine months. Two players were gone and another was injured for the season. 113,000 swarmed the house and countless more participated via the web or sat in front of the tubless.
I can’t believe how big it was–my list, ahead of time that I was too chicken to post:
- stars (recruiting stars)
- speed
- stadium completed
- intimidating crowd
- running opponent
- quarterback that couldn’t pick the defense apart
- RR’s third year
- RR’s success against Uconn
- M’s offensive skill and experience
- 9 months of desire
