I was at Wilt's 100-point game!

[Sizzle]

1. Kobe drops 81 on the Raptors
2. SC v Notre Dame - Bush Push
3. SC v Texas - Vince Young's knee was down
4. BYU beats #1 Miami
5. Dodgers v A's - Gibson's Game 1 HR
6. Lakers Celtics - McHale clotheslines Rambis
7. Lakers Blazers - Game 7
8. BYU v Notre Dame - Danny Ainge goes coast to coast

1) Don't remember what I was doing, but I remember hearing about it.
2) Watched that game at Costa Vida in Provo with my parents a few hours before a BYU game. I was in South Bend the week after. I have a few pictures in the spot where the Bush-Push occurred. Have to see if I can find them.
3) Watched that game at my recently married buddy's house. One for the ages. The play that sticks out in my mind from early on is when Bush tried to lateral the ball and it resulted in a fumble. D'oh!
4) Day of my first little league football game. I tweaked my knee thanks to some jack-a kid sitting right on the sideline with his helmet in front of him. I got pushed out of bounds on an end around and stepped on his helmet. I remember watching the game with my dad with ice on my knee at my grandpa's house because we didn't have ESPN at the time. This was the first year we didn't have season tickets to BYU games thanks to my commitment to Little League football.
5) Remember watching at our house. Stupid Kirk Gibson.
6) Don't know.
7) Don't care.
8) Not old enough to have a memory of that taking place.

I just thought of another one:

The Jake Heaps emergence game. 4 years from now everyone is going to say that they were at the BYU vs UNLV game when Jake Heaps finally busted out and became a great qb.

I was there and I have pictures to prove it!

[Indy Coug]

BYU vs Miami 1990 - South Endzone, 2/3rds up directly behind goalposts. Most of the action was at our end of the field.

[PaloAltoCougar]

In these parts, approximately 350,000 people attended the Big Game in '81, watching Cal beat Stanfurd on "The Play" with about a dozen laterals, most of which were legal.

And I attended Altamont, hanging out for about twenty minutes with the Hell's Angels (they were entranced by my schoolboy charm) and listening to Santana, The Flying Burrito Brothers, Jefferson Airplane and CSNY. We didn't arrive until early afternoon because we had to take the SATs, and we left just before the Stones came on because we wanted to beat traffic.

[Coach McGuirk]

Kirk Gibson HR?


Sadly, I was not even at LES on Sat.

whoops. I didnt mean those to be the comprehensive list, only a list of 100-point games in my geographic region. If you lived elsewhere, I would assume that most of those games had little overall significance.

I was at 3 of the events on my list...with ticket stubs.

The Kobe 81 point game...that was on a Sunday evening. I only saw the second half of the game, iirc. we had some church related thing and I turned it on late.

Game 7 Blazers was also a Sunday game and I was living in Utah, studying for the Bar post-law school. That was a GREAT Sunday.

[TripletDaddy]

The one game every new yorker has been too. This game had a million attendees
The michael Jordan flu game (game 5?)

Speaking of MJ and Jazz, I know a lot of people attended MJ's Mini B Push Off game.

When people tell me that they were there, I love pointing out that the game was on a Sunday and that I was shocked to learn that they attended games on Sundays.

I was there when President Kimball said, "Don't shoot the little birds." Changed my life, actually.

[HBCoug]

It is well documented that approximately 4,100 fans were in attendance to watch Wilt drop 100 on the Knicks in Hershey, Pennsylvania. Bombaata himself would later chuckle at the fact that tens of thousands of people would later claim to have been at the game.

Perhaps it is the pull of wanting to belong, to be a part of something big, that causes people to lie about silly things like that.

Today I am convinced that the Utah/TCU game has entered into "100 point game" territory. I have spoken to no fewer than 15 people yesterday and today that claim to have been at the game. This in and of itself is not unbelievable. In fact, to paraphrase Sean Connery in The Untouchables..."who would claim that who was not?"

The strange coincidence is that every single person I speak with happened to be sitting in the North End Zone and every also happened to be sitting within a few feet from the now-notorious topless woman. No cell phone pics have surfaced, no ticket stubs have been produced. But everyone was sitting right there in the North End Zone next to Topless Woman.

I am trying to think of other "100-point games" in my lifetime and a few come to mind that have caused me to raise my eyebrow a bit:

1. Kobe drops 81 on the Raptors
2. SC v Notre Dame - Bush Push
3. SC v Texas - Vince Young's knee was down
4. BYU beats #1 Miami
5. Dodgers v A's - Gibson's Game 1 HR
6. Lakers Celtics - McHale clotheslines Rambis
7. Lakers Blazers - Game 7
8. BYU v Notre Dame - Danny Ainge goes coast to coast

These are often geographical in nature. In other words, if you grew up on the East Coast, perhaps many people love to claim to have been at Doug Flutie's game winning hail mary or something of that nature.

In fact, if we were to include televised "100 point games," I would have to add to this specious list:

1. Doug Flutie's Hail Mary
2. Magic v Bird at the Huntsman Center
3. Tyson v Buster Douglas

Everyone's gotta belong, I suppose.

Look man, I really WAS there Saturday in the north end zone. Would I have subjected myself to the emotional trauma of being called a turncoat by you all week and proceeded amidst threats of physical violence to my unshinguarded shins had I not actually attended? Section 23, row 18, seat 21...looking straight down at her black bra.

I forgot that you were there.

Have there been any pics that have surfaced of this incident? On UFN or elsewhere? What about her booking photo? Any other info?

[jay santos]

Didn't attend any of them. My dad mailed me a VHS cassette of the BYU-Miami game on my mission. I did attend the Jake Heaps coming out party.

I haven't seen any pictures surface of her, but I did see some of the guy who took his shirt off and ran around a few minutes after her, which was pretty funny. She had only stripped down to her bra by the time security (two women security guards) arrived, but she was making movements to get that hook undone. I couldn't see at what point she actually removed her bra, but by the time she was being escorted to the tunnel it was off. We booed the security guards after they came back out of the tunnel without her.

No, I didn't mean for those to be the comprehensive list either. Just commenting on some of those that I had experiences with. Some other games from this region that would qualify are probably:

Beck to Harline (just moved into our new house, almost put my pregnant wife into labor)
4th and 18 (watched the game from the North endzone, great game)
MJ's Push Off (watched from home, dejected and upset still at the two shot clock violations that went against the Jazz in Eisley's 3 that should have counted and Harpers that shouldn't have)

[HuskyFreeNorthwest]

A local one for me. Though the stadium was at best 60% full at the end of the game, no Duck fan claims to have left early for the comeback against Oklahoma.
