Just in case anyone forgot and is interested :grin:
I never new there was going to be one on tv. Maybe I will watch some of it. What station?
RIP KIRBBBZ!
wish I could see it
I hope my son is taping it for me.
Did anyone watch this, tell me more!
I called and talked to my Bro, and he was watching it on FoxNorth at 9:30 ish.
Tell me more!
I went and it was nice. The crowd made it kind of awkwad with random standing ovations and poorly timed applause but the ceremony was very nice. Gardenhier, Dan Gladden, Hrbek, and Al Newman gave the speeches that everyone got all choked up about. Cal Ripkin was very classy and appropriate. They showed a few videos that were really good, mostly of plays that we have all seen a hundred times the past week. They also showed him doing the top ten list on Lettermen and everyone laughed. John Gordon did a great job as emcee. A gospel choir did a half hour rendition of the national anthem. A lot of former players were in attendance and I would estimate the crowd at about 15,000-20,000.
After, I went to Ike's for a beer and sat accross the bar from Jim Marshall. Not sure if he was at the ceremony.
I need to find someone that taped this and can burn this to a DVD.
Mensa, glad you got to go, and congrats on the KU 4 seed and the Big 12.
Thanks. You can get a lot of the audio on startribune.com
I'll let you know if anyone I know taped it.
