I was 8 years old and my parents wouldn't allow me to stay up and watch the game. I grew up 10 miles from Notre Dame and I was a big ND fan back then, but I loved Al McGuire and was very happy that Marquette won.
Fast forward about 10 years and I am a freshman at MU and sitting in the bleachers of Notre Dame's A.C.C.. I am wearing my famous (to me) shirt that has Marquette on the front with a hand holding up The finger designating us as #1.....and on the back of the shirt it says Notre Dame and a big middle finger. Haha...still have that shirt!!
