I remember being on the Lawn with two friends on the Saturday early afternoon of the East Region final vs. Indiana, and I remember so much about that even though we had beer . . .
By Chuck Culpepper Chuck Culpepper Reporter who covers national college football, college basketball, tennis, golf and international sports. Email Bio Follow Reporter April 3 at 2:25 PM I remember Ralph Sampson graduated in 1983, towering above his classmates in cap-and-gown on the Lawn in the poetic rain, yet the world had not ended, and Virginia had agreed to continue having a men’s basketball team the next year. We U-Va.
I remember being in Newcomb Hall on the University of Virginia Grounds on a Thursday night during the East Region semifinals, on the same night Bob Knight’s No. 4 seed Indiana upset No. 1 seed North Carolina and ended Michael Jordan’s college career, but I remember only the Virginia score as I do all those Virginia scores, without looking, even though it’s the hardest one because “we” beat Syracuse, 63-55, a relative breather after which, with a bar in the basement of Newcomb, we had beer.
I remember being in the Rugby Road fraternity-sorority area, where we often had beer, and watching in some house or other as Virginia played Houston in the first Final Four semifinal in Seattle, Houston with Hakeem Olajuwon, Virginia without Sampson, and I remember the thrilling regulation that ended at 43-43, because life was worse back then.
