Not utter euphoria, but a great time...
2002 Preseason NIT at Madison Square Garden. Drawmate passed me 6th man tickets. Walked in looking for row A something...figured a lettered row had to be the nosebleeds. Got walked down to the baseline right behind Andy Katz and just past the end of the Stanford bench! Got a knowing nod from Rob Little. Amusingly, watched my future wife dance with the Pink Panther, and saw Stanford come from behind to upset #7 Florida in the semis.
As for euphoria...my first Stanford one might have been...
1997 MBB hosting Arizona. My club team had arena duty that day and somehow I was able to find a spot in the second half standing just off the corner of the court. Which let me witness, Pete Sauer's game winning shot from ground level just a few feet away. Which led to my first ever rush of the court/field. Tim Young was pretty big up close. =)Â
