Great story, she does a great job and Rick was a legend.
That said, screw Porter Moser.
Future DePaul coach?
Loyola wins and will be dancing for the first time since 1985, when their star was the man with 3 first names - Alfredrick Hughes.
I'm sure Loyola alum Bob Newhart is a happy man. Guy my age may remember the Bob Newhart show episode where Bob and his college buddy "The Peeper" try to go to the Loyola v. Marquette basketball game. Of course things don't go as planned and hijinks ensue.
According to IMDB...
In season 5 Episode 9, "The Slammer" which aired on November 20, 1976...
Bob wants to go to the Loyola/Marquette basketball game. Emily is not interested but a surprise visit from The Peeper means Bob can go with his old college friend instead.
Here is episode, starts right away: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5pumow
Bob's secretary was played by the late, great Marcia Wallace who later become the voice of Bart Simpson's teacher Edna Krabappel. The We Unseld reference was awesome as was Wes.
Would be cool to restart that series or at least have a home & home or a one off. I've posted this before, but it brings back memories of that Loyola win at the Amphitheater in '78 on a Saturday night - we drove back to Milwaukee and headed to the Gym only to see Butch and Bernard at the bar towards the back near the Foosball tables wearing those fancy winter fur coats. That loss was a warning shot that a repeat wasn't going to happen.
