I saw two future nba players play for the Bobcats that season. Snoop and Jamerson. I have seen my Bobcats win a first rd ncaa tournament game in person. Nashville. I have seen my Bobcats take #1seed UNC to overtime in a sweet sixteen game in person. I drove to lexington to see our guys led by gary trent play uk. I did not prepurchase tix. I wound up seeing game at a bar due to sold out. Got a ncaa chair used by team from nashville and stl. Half a piece of the court from convo. Thinks its 4×6'. Its still wrapped from day we drove it home. Ive only met saul and jeff in person, no other Ohio hoops HC. I almost always fly wearing bobcat gear. Almost always get comments.

You have me beat by a mile: I have a similar piece of the Convo floor Met Clark Kellogg when his son was playing in one of our games at Bowling Green Met Larry Hunter - my dad played against him in high school My dad played on Ohio's freshman team back when that was a thing, then worked on the construction crew that built the Convo (and the one that built Alden Library). His accomplishments, not mine, but I gotta brag on him.

Im looking forward to if some of my peers have hoops idiosyncracies also!

I enjoyed his company. http://www.facebook.com/mikejohnson.author Back to Top rpbobcat General User Member Since: 4/28/2006 Location: Rochelle Park, NJ Post Count: 3,547 Status: Offline     RE: My odd relationship with Ohio Hoops    Posted: 6/10/2022 12:19:17 PM  Waiting for someone to start one on the Football Board.

When I get some time this weekend, I'll drop my odd relationship with Ohio Hoops stories. Well done Obc2. #BleedGreen #TrentIsGOAT Back to Top GoCats105 General User Member Since: 1/31/2006 Location: Seattle, WA Post Count: 7,069 Status: Offline     RE: My odd relationship with Ohio Hoops    Posted: 6/10/2022 3:01:16 PM  I weirdly didn't start getting into the basketball team until my Junior year. I'm not really really sure why, but I think I didn't know you could go to the games for free or something. Or I was too busy learning how to play XBox with other students across campus through the LAN (this was before internet gave us XBox live so we had to coordinate via telephone when we'd be online and WOW does that feel weird to type). And I love ball. I played and was recruited to an NAIA school out of high school. Once I did start going to the games though, I was all in. I fondly remember wearing my O Zone shirt during my shifts at Shively Dining Hall then walking over to the Convo on many cold winter nights. I can still feel the crispness of the air and the crunch of the snow while walking through Emereti Park. Coming home off a big win and traversing the cat walks on "New" South Green was also a fond memory. Sigh, can we go back? The most memorable games for me personally were the wins over WMU (Ben Reed), Miami (Mason, Horace, St. Clair, Peavy, Hausfeld) and Buffalo (Fears hit six threes) at home during our 2005 run. The Buffalo game was especially awesome because it was a midweek game and the crowd was awesome, though I don't remember how big. Looking back at that schedule, SO MANY awesome weekend games. Holy heck bring this back. https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/schools/ohio/2005-sc...

Quickly was hooked, enrolled, was accepted and attended nearly every game this last year, and I have made it a goal of mine to rebuild a solid foundation for the O-Zone to prosper for many years. I hope this next year will be amazing for OU hoops and a starting point for a prosperous decade.

I live 90 mins southeast of Indy and it hurt not being to see the Bobcats play a tourney game in person. But i had tons of fun at home ... is that not the winning team chant might have confused my wife.
