Was anyone else at the UNC game at Maples in December, 1983? The championship game of the Stanford Invitational if I recall correctly. Maples was sold out as everyone wanted to watch UNC's junior phenom Michael Jordan. He scored 4 points and fouled out. The Tar Heels did not need him. They also had Sam Perkins, Brad Daugherty and Kenny Smith and won 88-75. It was still thrilling to feel the energy in Maples from a full house.

I was there, Jerry Hobbie and mock TD signals and all.

Same.  Never had the sense Stanford had a chance in that one.  Hope (and dare I say it, expect?) to NOT have that same feeling today.  We'll see.

P.S.  On alternate timeline, my #1 remains that Emeka Okafor resists BS pressure from Calhoun and signs with Stanford after Collins scholarship is formally available . . . and Stanford goes on to win 2 NCAA titles (the latter would have been a given had Okafor worn Cardinal uni).  That's my story, and I'm sticking with it!
