Now you see...that's the difference between you and me. I have something to say, so I say it. You have something to say and you're too much of a candy ass to say it....bgpuckster wrote:Flipper,
Just one question. Do you celebrate your Birthday? It's a bit like that.
I was going to ask if your parents had any kids that lived, but I won't.

BGFan and I had talked and talked about going to Lake Placid for the games. I had only been teaching two years. He had gone back to school to finish up his bachelor's and we really couldn't afford it, though we really tried to make it happen!! We ended up watching the game at a friend's home up in Toledo, with a bunch of TU (back then, we called it TU, not UT!) friends. By the end of that game, EVERYONE in the place was SCREAMING FOR BG!!! Four overtimes, and a lot of "beverages" will do that!!
We also went to the ice arena to welcome the team back on Sunday night. It was SOOOO much fun!!! After the reception was over, we went to Mark's where the team would be. I remember standing there talking with Garry Galley. He had a BIG cigar in his hand and told me that he and the team hadn't slept yet; that they had been up partying since the win!!! We didn't get home until about 2:30 a.m. and I had to get up and TEACH the next morning down in Findlay!!! I am sure it wasn't my best day as a teacher....though I was still probably running on adrenaline from the weekend!!! I don't think I stopped smiling for a month!!!
CONGRATULATIONS again, to the 1984 National Championship Team!!!
Sounds like it was the best time ever.

Were you kinda happy that night?
I saw the commercials advertising their "huge library" too, but when I went to the site, it didn't seem to be much of anything beyond the last year or two, and even then, a lot of focus on the big name schools and that's all.murphdogg wrote:I haven't checked on NCAA.com, but supposedly they have a huge video library on the site.

My dad has a whole bunch of slides (yes I said slides....it was 1984 folks). I should take a look at them next time I go up to Flagstaff and visit them. As I recall we had general pictures of Lake Placid, slides from both games, Falcon Club parties at the hotel, marches to the arena with Freddie leading the way and pictures partying with the players in the hotel bar after the title game. (the one and only time I have ever seen my Mom flat out drunk...lol!!) Maybe I can scan the slides and make some jpgs or something. I haven't looked at them in at least 10 years I know that.Anyone have any pictures/photos/video, etc from the game? Just doesn't seem to be much of anyting out there to enjoy....

I may be getting in touch with you for a project that theKa and I are starting to work on!!! How hard would it be to get those slides converted into a digital format?AZIce wrote:My dad has a whole bunch of slides (yes I said slides....it was 1984 folks).

I remember a prominent banker in town at the time who VERY seldom drank, and if so, had one beer a year, going to the bar and ordering a case of beer and bringing it back to the table and sitting down for all to drink. I remember some Duluth fans coming in that were staying there and saying "you folks REALLY know how to party!". Iwill never forget the team coming to the post-game party, after the championship wearing some CRAZY hats amd smoking cigars, and then being introduced one by one and saying something to the crowd. What an unbelievable weekend and one that is impossible to forget!!!
