When Milton drops 45 including the gamewinner, are we going to start calling him THE GAWD?
Looking forward to tonight. Tonight is our national championship game. I'll be turnt all the way. Passed Milton today and told him to give em hell tonight. He said "ok." So we're ready!
Can't wait to storm the court after Milton hits that shot too. As the hordes of fans surround Milton--still holding his follow through--he just keeps repeating, "I told you. You. Can't. Stop. Me." And then we lead off SportsCenter, featuring a crazed Christian Thomas standing on top of the scorers table screaming "WE SHOOK UP THE WORLD" as a dejected Gregg Marshall weeps softly knowing that the Shockers have possibly slipped to a 2 seed. Andy Katz is emergency air lifted to Sheridan Road, delivering a live report for SportsCenter at 11 PM Easter in front of Bar 63, renamed Hamilton's for one glorious night. Just a little after midnight, when things might just be dying down, Porter walks in vowing to buy every man, woman, and child wearing maroon and gold a Jagger bomb. Garanzini renames the chapel Madonna della Doyle and the Rambler Golden Age begins.
The next day, Tony Kornheiser is incredulous, "how do you lose to Loyola?! That was their tenth win! But let me tell you, Mike, this Milton Doyle, what a stud!" Leading off First Take, Stephen A and Skip Bayless argue about who declared the Shockers to be frauds first. LeBron James talks about how impressed he was with the homie, Swaggy T, and puts Wichita's loss on his Mt. Rushmore of inexplicable choke jobs. Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delany openly wonders about reneging Rutgers' invitation to the conference in favor of this budding basketball titan, the Mighty Ramblers of Loyola. LU Wolf makes the late night television rounds. Phil Jackson says the only team he would consider coming out of retirement to coach are the Ramblers. Garanzini...well he acts swiftly.
And for at least one glorious night, Loyola (IL) is at the center of the sports world. Move rights still for sale. Leggo Ramblers.
Post of the year!
