[Hoggy1]

When the clock hit 0. 

[ballinhog]

When the clock hit 0. 

When the clock hit 0, Thurman's 3, and one of my personal favorites was Dillard's 12 threes against deleware st. Awesome year I hope Pel will bring us back to that glory. Man I miss Al Dillard

[razerbacker]

winning..

[40MINSOFHELL]

winning..

couldn't of said it better myself +1

[Marshfieldhog]

I remember the 50-60 point beatdown of Mizzou in Bud Walton, that was a loud crowd that night.

[bao187]

i remember my mom telling me to go to bed and i can find out if we won the next day, i was 13, so i went to my room top bunk of the bunk beds, turned the tv down to volume 2 and watched the game there, when scotty thurman hit the 3 at the end of the shot clock i thought i had gotten myself grounded, but my step dad came to the rescue telling my mom this doesn't happen every day let the boy watch the hogs win the NC, to this day i still thank my step dad for that.

[razorhead94]

I would say just the atmosphere...fans would fill up bud walton 30 min before tip off..and the pre-game was just off the charts...it would make any opposing team uncomfortable.

Amen.  I'm ready for that classic BWA atmosphere to comeback.

[sirhog]

I remember a lot about that season but the one thing that always sticks in my minds is McDaniel throwing the ball towards the ceiling. Right then I knew we had done it and no one could take it away.

[count of bacon]

Right after that game the only thing  I was thinking about was the next season.

[Wildhog]

I was 7. 

[HardKnockBlu]

The hogs holding the trophy at the end of "One Shining Moment".

[McKdaddy]

I was thinking how the 1990-91 team should have been cutting down the nets as well.

[Brian the Turrible]

I was a high school senior over in North East Ar. About 7 or 8 buddies and I got tickets (nosebleed) to the game at Memphis. With about 7 minutes left we made our way to the front row at half court. We were directly behind Dickie V. We stayed and called the Hogs as loud as we could through all the post game interviews. Man it was great. I remember after getting down there how awestruck I was. Those guys looked like giant gods. OK maybe that was the pint Evan in the hour drive over talkin' to a young fella, but it was great none the less.

[Swine & Cheese Club]

Stepping out on my back deck on Wedington drive (before they tore my house down to expand Wedington) and listening to all of College Park apartments calling the hogs...loudly!  Walked down to Dickson street and hung out with thousands of hog fans!  I had a t-shirt company at the time and made NC shirts prior to the game and was wearing my shirt.  Sold it for $50 on Dickson!  Man, it was cold but I couldn't care less.

WPS!

[Dr. Starcs]

Not the most memorable moment, but Nolan starting Ken Biley in the championship game was big-time ballz.  I can't recall a coach ever starting  a relative unknown in that big of a situation.

and then he did it the next year when he started elmer martin against ucla.....

[Nate-Hawg]

When I jumped straight up and cut my head on the ceiling fan blade.

[tsgtred]

I remember alot of things from that season. 1) setting he barnhill arena attendance record at midnight madness. 2) openning night against murry state and the release of the sprit ball 3) first sitting president to attend a college basketball game during the regular season 4) the fear felt when we lost out early during the sec tourney. 5) beating a lot of good teams, including the fab five to get to the championship. 6) the president in attendance for the nc game. 7) the 40 minutes of hell we poured on duke. scotty's shot.  9) the thought that I could now brag about a nc and the party after the game

[razorbak]

Bruce Springsteen's great song pre-game

"Well I been outta the woods for 6 days & nights,
Well I'm a little hog wild but I'm feelin' all right...etc.
Chorus: Just around the corner, to the light of day....."

Hogs down 10 in second half taking a TO --

Corliss' badass attitude --

Scotty's 3 --

Grant Hill's talent --

McDaniel's dunk at the end-

And, as has been posted, The hogs holding the trophy at the end of "One Shining Moment"
[that song was first used Nolan's first trip to the Final 4 with May-Day, Bog "O", Lenzie Howell & Arlin Bowers.

[zebra]

The Mizzou beatdown on National Television to open the year.

Dan Patrick saying in the highlights of one of our games, saying, "Oh, I love Al Dillard"

[bigyellowdog]

The feeling that everytime the team took the court they were going to win the game. It has been a while since we have been able to have that kind of confidence in a team.

[austin.hogfan]

Nolan motivating his players by telling them that Duke was picked to win because they had smarter (white) players!

[Corkscrew Johnson]

Sitting in an Oklahoma City arena and watching Scottie Thurman get escorted out of our 2nd round game after Clint McDaniel kicked a Georgetown player, thinking we had just lost our chance at the National Championship.  That Georgetown game was TOUGH.

[awj81]

In 94 I still lived in Alaska and I was in high school.  I remember being the only one that thought the Hogs had a chance.  All BB season I wore razorback attire, and got heckled for it but didn't care one bit.  From the game itself, I remember the words "They're warming up the bus, BABY!!!" from Dick Vitale.  Thats when I knew it was over.  The next day at school was the best, all them Dukie fans had to continue hearing me brag about the winning the nc.

espn & Prick Vitale didn't cover that game--CBS did the game w/ Nantz and Packer.

[RZRBack_FAN]

I remember Dillard knocking down 3's from the Hog snout.

[BrooklynRoss]

Yeah, Dillard in that game against Delaware State when he pulled up from the Hog's Snout to nail number 10 or 11 (can't remember which.) Didn't he also end the game with a bounce-off-the-floor self-assisted dunk? I remember ESPN playing highlights of that game for about 30 minutes worth of SportsCenter. Everything else was put on hold. The guy was absolutely fearless. I loved Dillard's out and out disrespect for the other team. When they guarded him tighter, he just backed up and kept gunning. He even wore #3 on his jersey, hahaha.

[Seconds]

I remember the entire production facility of a Fortune 500 company coming to a complete stop to listen to the last two minutes of the game. You should have heard the roar when the clock hit zero!!!

[awj81]

well maybe I was confused about Vitale,  I do recall someone yelling on the tv.  I guess I always thought it was him.

[clifflee4mvp]

living in Pensacola. The phone rang, mom and dad fought over who got to answer it. I was only 8 years old

[MDH]

Thurman's Three.  That shot will be sharp in my memory until the day I die.

[chillinhoggie]

I remember all of us watching in Fayetteville going out on the front porch to call the hogs after the game and you could just hear Hog calls echoing all over through the hills. That was a great feeling.

That plus we lived close to Dickson and got down there pretty quick and seeing the whole crowd that was watching at bud Walton come over the hill from campus en masse was a sight to see.
SOOOOOOOIIIIIIEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!

[HogFan1st]

my most memorable moment was after they beat michigan to punch their ticket to the final four my mom and dad called me upstairs from the basement (i was in 8th grade) and they threw me a plane ticket to charlotte and said "have fun"...stayed in the team hotel and road to the games on the same buses as some of the players parents...great weekend

[berryhog]

My best memory would be watching my dad and grandfather (who has since passed on) celebrate like they were kids.  I think for all of us it made up for all the near-misses and heartbreak losses we had endured until then.

[Masshog]

I remember looking around at my friends as time ran out.... and realizing that someone was missing.  He had gotten so nervous in the second half he just left half way through the second half and just started walking.... and I lived miles from anywhere.

you have the greatest parents ever!

I concur

You don't think maybe ESPN had people covering the game do ya?  I know the concept is out of this world, but they are a all sports station. 

[Junkyard Hog]

Scotty's 3

[McKdaddy]

You don't think maybe ESPN had people covering the game do ya?

Absolutely, but not where you would have heard a feed of the game or Vitale.  The rightsholders are CBS and Westwood One radio, a former division of CBS Radio at the time.  CBS and Westwood won't even allow student radio broadcasting of any NCAA tournament games, as we found out this '08 Final Four.

They so staunchly protect their game rights that any non CBS / non Westwood One media members caught live-blogging the game -- to the extent they are providing any specific game action or commentary on the action -- are told to cease immediately, and have found themselves removed.

So, to answer your question, one would not have heard Vitale in any manner make the comment "they're warming up the bus baby" unless it was during post-game comments / highlights / coverage on espn (Vitale might have said this while going over the highlights).  Maybe awj81 was watching the game w/ Vitale?
