That night was just so freaking ridiculously magical. The energy and the pure jubilation was PALPABLE on Mass street and everywhere else. The happiness was just overflowing from EVERYONE on the insanely crowded streets, it was like nothing else I have ever experienced.

I don't think it's possible to explain it. You have to experience it for yourself. All that emotional investment finally paid off for once in my life. And I have to say, it was well worth all the previous heartbreaks and depression-laden days. That shit paid off in SPADES.

The UNC game was pretty awesome too. Felt great.

I was just watching it at a local bar w/ some friends and it was still unreal. I really wish I was in Lawrence, but there was still energy everywhere. You can watch some youtube videos from even New York KU bars when Chalmers made that shot and I still get that tingling feeling down my spine.

One of my best friends just had a son a couple of months ago and I asked him if it was the greatest feeling in the world? We agreed after the KU win that was going to be the only greater feeling than the NC night. He confirmed our theory. Since I don't have kids yet, that win is still the best feeling I have ever experienced, however sad that might seem to the vast majority of people.

personally, the win over UNC was bigger and better than the championship win. but that's just a reflection of my pure unbridled hatred for that school, and a week of facing the possibility that ole huckleberry hound would knock us out of the F4.

to have both a tournament win over UNC and a championship happen the same year makes it even that much more special.

I experienced it 4 times @ Florida and a couple more if you include professional teams. I wouldn't classify any of them as the greatest night of my life.

To each their own. You get as much out of it as you put in. It's pretty simple, really.

What was the greatest night of your life?

Don't get me wrong, it was an Awesome evening, a huge celebration and party in the streets, and the first one was definitely better than the others. I'd have to think more to identify the single greatest night but I've had a lot of times that I can look back on with greater stories and fonder memories. I guess I'm lucky.

Mr. Plow · 09-22-2010, 11:16 AM

KU Orange Bowl, KU win over UNC & then the National Championship win were great. Had a blast for each game. But they don't even remotely compare to the birth of any of my 4 kids, or the day my daughter got out of the NICU, or the day my mom was released from the hospital. Not even close.

I think our respective fandoms are just on different levels. Give me an example of something better than UF winning it all, it doesn't have to be the best ever. I'm pretty sure what you say is not going to make me go "oooh, yeah, I wish I could experience that" because I most likely have.

Yeap, like I said, these would be the only things better for me, so far.

I look back on my graduation night as Valedictorian with greater memories and a true sense of personal accomplishment. Going back further, my Bar Mitzvah day and night was better than UF winning it all.

Like I said, personal accomplishments are great and they feel amazing. The purest of pure jubilation still wasn't there for me like it was on that April night in 2008. Can't really identify with Bar Mitzvah, though.

Al Bundy · 09-22-2010, 11:26 AM

I will say the Buccaneers winning the superbowl is definitely top 5 without a doubt. Just more personal accomplishments. Like buying my 1st house, opening my own business, things of that nature. But UCF has never won anything major so I can't really comment on how I would feel.
