Tiny Tim got new legs. The Swiss Army has more than a knife. The US Hockey team beat the Soviets. David kicked Goliath's butt, but this time with a football in one hand, and a sense of pride, determination, and courage in his heart.
Chalk one up for the little man. The kid with the limp, bad eye, and a funny high voice, was just admitted to Harvard. The plain girl who sits in the back of class and always looks at her shoes was named Prom Queen. The guy with the bad comb-over and belly paunch just made the cover of GQ.
From somewhere deep in their souls, the gutty little Bruins today accomplished what I thought was nearly impossible. Oh me, of little faith. Mea culpa, mea maxima culpa. Bless me Father for I have sinned. I shall perform seven hail Coach Woodens, and an Our Bruin Father.
Today was a day that will live for many years in my catalog of great Bruin memories. For seven years, since 1998, the Sons of Westwood have wandered in the desert of Troy. Parched, helpless, lost. But today, we have seen the Promised Land.

Gloating? You bet! I have eight years to make up.

Yes, at Styarbucks that would be a vente culpa...It was bound to happen with so much on the line for SC. BTW, a little buckeye told me that you actually went out and bought a new tie to go with the green leisure suit. Could it be true? Oh ye of little faith.
O Eloquence, thou hast a name and it is Steven Norris!
What a post, Steve. I was with you every "girl not asked to dance who winds up with the QB" step of the way.
And can we just slobber a big kiss on the screen shot of Patrick Cowan, wherever those photos live? He's a sophomore! That's right, two more seasons of that big boy. I see the light - UCLA is baaaaaack.
Did you notice, btw, that when we were beating SC every year, we went 8 straight? They went, oh let me count them up, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and.... THAT"S IT! Ha, ha, ha,ha, ha.
