Favorite '08-'09 moment

[Natty]

When VCU went down by 10 against ODU in the first half of the CAA semifinal game, and Maynor pulled off Maynor time.

man...I had visions of William and Mary '08 in my head when they were beating us that bad in the first half. thought it was going to be a miserable day.

Maynor's 1 dunk.

Even Nixon was a little shocked. SDSU coach already had his player doing push-ups for getting the ball stripped.

Kirill's reaction is pretty funny. Almost like he was thinking ,"see I knew he could dunk." Grant looks bored.

Grant's thinking, I could be coaching in the SEC right now.

One of my favorites is Pav getting interviewed as Blaine Taylor!

I don't remember exactly which game it was, but...

Larry driving baseline right in front of the rowdies, jumped from the opposing teams bench , and just posterized some poor kid. The SC errupted until everyone figured out that some Karl Hess wannabe made a horrible charge call. I swear he looked like Inspector Gadget...

Awesome.

that was against hofstra.
it seemed as if he jumped from darn near the three point line.
that play sticks out for me as well. yes, the foul call was iffy at best.

Neither Tatum or RamNation took photos that game from what I can find. Anybody else get a picture?

EDIT: However, RamNation has an excellent video http://www.vcuramnation.com/2009/01/video-hofstra-vcu/ the sick dunk (Dane? was definitely sliding into Larry) is about 1/3rd of the way in.

This is tough but I gotta go with the night Eric Maynor got his number retired and when he broke the record against Georgia St and how loud it got when he finally made the shot. I will never forget that night.

Honorable mention: Bradford's magical 3 that gave us the win over Richmond
The VCU vs Mason CAA Final (the entire game )
Me directing the pep band as Doc Nix the CAA Final

Even though we lost the game, my favorite moment was when UCLA gave us the ball back at the end of the game. I was so amped, had no voice left but was screaming anyway. Just pure adrenaline.

in all reality, seeing EM3 clean the floor made my season, pure class from EM3 <que tatum picture>

one of my favorite moments would have to be the cheerleader telling ramastic83 to grow up after he booed her for not giving him a burrito.

My five

-CAA semis and finals during the "requiem overture."
-the chant of "shoot it" anytime Smith touched the ball
-Larrys huge dunk during the hofstra game from outside of the paint that was called a charge.
-Burgess 3 at UR
-Larry hugging eric after the ucla game

man, so much more. fun season.

I'm loving all the responses to this thread, all great moments on the VCU timeline, and I'm sure tons more are coming our way next fall. This really was a great season, I hope we continue to have many more like it and better.

Eric breaking the record. Got to love the pull-up and the floater. Two shots that have been greatly underused by many in the game these days. E Maynor went old school and developed a game that could not be stopped because of it!
