I still remember watching the game and having the feeling that Nova had to miss at some point and we would take the lead for good. Needless to say, it's still too painful to watch.

While painful I hope HBO points out that the Hoyas had the lead late in the 2nd half and Broadnax and Billy Martin fumbled a pass that led to disaster. I also hope HBO points out that Reggie Williams was hurt and refused a shot in his "million dollar leg". They played the perfect game but John Thompson and our Hoyas had the lead late: I hope they don't pass that over.

I will probably tape it, but I know I just cannot watch it. At least not Monday night.

I don't know if I can watch it. I was there in Lexington in 85. I still have nightmares about it. When I got back to work, my coworkers had draped black crepe paper in my office. Don't tell me Gary McClain was not coked up. I've been clinging to that rationalization for years, like Camby's pro status in 96 vs.UMass.
My brother in law calls me every couple years to tell me when the game is being shown on ESPN Classic... I never did like him much anyway.

I convinced 2 more Die-Hard Hoyas to watch the documentary...
My brother and a friend from college...
My friend said the only time he felt worse was when Len Bias died...
I let him know that he will enjoy the 1st 30 minutes...the last little bit he'll just have to suck-it-up...
