Send it in Jerome
Today was the 25th anniversary of one of my favorite plays ever, and favorite calls. Jerome Lane of Pittsburgh breaks the backboard with a dunk and Bill Raftery exclaims "Send it in Jerome!"
I was sure I had written previously about this play, but it was kind of buried in an NCAA Tournament thoughts, a couple months after the 23rd anniversary.
This play is so special to me that I wanted to name the child now known as Julian, Jerome. I don't even think I told Mrs. Poop why at first, but once she completely shut me down I think I showed her the clip. Didn't change her mind though.
But I don't think she knows I slipped this past her.
Thanks to JLeary for inspiring me to go back and check exactly what I had previously written about this blessed event.
this put Big Monday on the map, as well as Raf. one of my alltime fav college basketball moments.
