that was in my top 3. i'm not sure if it was televised. Have relatives in Gardnerville visiting over the holidays, and so we got tickets, a couple Wolfpack friends or my relative went, so we all had some grub and drinks @ The Corner Bar in Minden before heading up.
I remember there was nice number of Beach fans there. Maybe 50 or so it seemed?
great environment and experience. Nevada fans do this wolf howl thing before the player intros when they turn out the lights and 6000 people howling like wolves, kinda of neat
Caffey was simply phenomenal, for those that there that go to witness it, reallly special. Nevada had an all Mountain West guard, and Caffey just dominated him on both ends of the court. Had to be one of the best performances by a Beach player ever, hard to think of any one better . I just re-looked at the stat sheet and Caffey played 44 of 45 minutes, scored 30, had assists, it was almost better stat-wise than even what I remembered from the game.
and then that top of the arc 3 at teh buzzer to send it to OT, and SILENCE in the arena aside from the scattered Beach fans.
So excited made staying awake for the drive down 80 afterword at 10 pm down to Sac (and thank god it wasn't snowing) pretty easy.
plus. YOU DIDN"T HAVE TO PAY FOR PARKING!! the attendant just waved you in to the structure, like huh? no place does that. way to go UNR.
what a game
I know the Reno game won't win the poll but it was my favorite. I was in the general area and went over to the game and sat near redneck partisans. LB was something like 1 win and 9 losses after a big body bag tour. Caffey heroics at the end silenced the big crowd and they finished business in overtime. Happened to be staying in the same casino as the 49ers and got to congratulate and celebrate.
