I’ll admit, I didn’t watch the game, saw the HR on the news. But for the next couple hours I tried consuming every detail of that magical moment. Haven’t missed a game since.
Great post.I was complaining most of the game. “Ridiculous that we have to play a team this good with such a high seed…this great season and now we’re gonna lose in the Regionals…blah blah…” I don’t know why…I’m usually pretty optimistic, but I was gloom and doom that night. My wife kept lecturing me, saying, “it’s not over…you don’t know what’s gonna happen…” She was saying the stuff I normally say and think. But I felt like UT had been screwed having to play Wright and it was gonna cost us the Regional.
As soon as Drew hit the ball, she jumped up and yelled, “I told you! I told you!” I just sat there, stunned, and said, “Ho-lee sh!t….he did it. He actually did it…” Then she said, “why aren’t you more excited?!” Thing is, I was excited. But I was also stunned. It took me a minute to really believe it.
I’ll never forget that moment.
I immediately came here last year and read the thread when I found out, thanks for posting will probably read it again.In case you want to re-live the magic. Pandemonium starts on page 49.

Listening to JW call it was surreal. One of my most favorite moments of all time as a fanI was complaining most of the game. “Ridiculous that we have to play a team this good with such a high seed…this great season and now we’re gonna lose in the Regionals…blah blah…” I don’t know why…I’m usually pretty optimistic, but I was gloom and doom that night.

This was me. I actually missed I went out with friends that night. Had a few too many, woke up the next morning to at least a dozen texts asking if I saw it.I’ll admit, I didn’t watch the game, saw the HR on the news.

There was only one out so I bet you the most relieved guy in the whole ballpark is whoever that is standing in the next batters box.
