To get everyone ready for March....

I was very anxious yesterday so I spent the evening watching Pirates 2000 (DVD that someone on this board made) and Band Of Pirates.

Brought back great memories from 1999-2000 and made me long for the days of the late 80s.

Let's hope this band of pirates stays together for another year and KW continues to grow. We could do special things (relative to SHU, lol) over the next 3 years.
 
That was quite a run. That team shot the three ball well which is different from this year's team but I see a few similarities between it and our current squad. Interesting that two of the guys on the bench for that game are still on the bench for this team!

shupat, how can I get a copy of that?

Band of Pirates was sold by SHU... Pirates 2000? Idk. I don't have the technological where-with-all to rip and burn a DVD. Sorry.

All I know is, someone from this board made it.
 
Nantz and Packer great tandem!
Yup, except for Packer.

I think people just associate his voice with important games and recall him more fondly than he deserves, even though he was terrible. I call it Musberger Syndrome.

Nice to see Ty Shine run over Doug Gottlieb in that game. Did not like the guy as a player either.

That was a fun run we made that year! I remember my kids were little and thought I was a complete nut running around the neighborhood with my SHU flag.
 
If the person who made the video for 2000 is still on the board, I'd love to get in contact with them about getting a copy.

That was my Junior year and I was close with most of the players. What a special year.

That's for sure. He went nuts, and we still just barely won. I'm sure I'm not the only one who wonders how that run would've been different if Shaheen had not been hurt and Ty Shine never became a figure of our mythology. I kind of feel like we might not have beaten Temple, but that we would've beaten Oklahoma State (if we had, in theory, played them). Impossible to say, of course.

I remember being in my car following Hallrox in her car when Shine hit the three to win the game. We both hit our horn and threw a fist out of the window at the same time.

I can see why try shine had his face punched in by AG the following year, he never passes the ball down low.
