Today is 40 years since Bruuuce Morris launched The Shot.

I was a senior in high school deciding where to commit. I had narrowed it down to a partial room and board scholarship to Marshall or a recruited walk on spot at Kentucky. Since the Bruce Morris shot was all over the TV I thought it was a sign from above and called coach later that day to commit. Best Decision Ever!

A friend sent me this:
I was with a girl who wanted beat the crowd to the bathroom. I had just walked out of the men's bathroom and heard this unbelievable roar. I freakin missed it! She didn't last long to say the least…..
 
I was there. WMUL had a delayed broadcast at 11:00pm so had a chance to watch it twice.

I do remember it was on all the national morning shows the next morning.

If it was a Saturday night in Tallahassee close to Valentines day back in 1985, I would like to think I was either banging some snatch, or worse case, on the verge of finding some.
