ANd I can think of a lot of great Savage concerts and some other cool events there- my daughter still talks about the thrill of seeing john Kerry speak there and I cna think of a memorable pickup game where i shot lights out and we held court for a couple hours before I had to quit having broken my thumb in the first minute of play-just couldn't stop while the shots were falling. Another fave from Savage was watching a crew descend on the place with about four minutes to go against Eastern Michigan two years ago and start tearing the place apart before our eyes, in preparation for the remodeling. I can sense the excitement over your new building but I know there 'll be a sense of loss- I suspect most people who weren't BG fans thought Anderson was a dinosaur but it holds a special place in the hearts of Falcon fans.

I've never heard/seen Anderson that loud or shaking as it did that night, when his late three that sealed the win bounced out and then back in. That was amazing. Later that year, he hit a stepback 3 against UNCW for the win. Just an incredible time. After the Dakich drama and the McLeod/Pardon team left, it obviously was a new era; you alluded to it with Magner. The team with Reimold, Netter and a few other scholarship players played exceedingly hard and never gave up; Reimold was a sort-of pal of mine, so I had a deeper connection to the team, but I had maybe a better time watching that team and watch Dakich get as much out of them as he could.
