Bandwagon fans don't bother me. They didn't get out of 2002 what I did.

So true - and in that case for me it was so much more than JUST the Bucks getting one over on Cryami.
Late 2001-2 wasn't exactly a bright spot in our family's life. Plant closings in NE Ohio were putting pressure on the job front - which all caved in just before the game aginst sCUM. To make matters oh so so [censored]ing perfect we got word that my mother's condition was worsening. Gone from being just forgetful to full blown Alzheimer's - diagnosis one week before Fiesta time - lots of family coordination to make things right, get her in the right kind of care.
Heck of a holiday atmosphere.
So - for me, and my wife, and my son watching the Buckeyes beat the crap out of Cryami from whistle to whistle was much more than just a game, much more than just seeing the Buckeyes finally win the NC. It was a single shining glory and source of great joy in the midst of very trying and troubled times. Its something we will never forget -- Just like to tell 'em thanks - again.
