Hartman's Ahearn FH was an "event" for sure, but not sure it was equal to Ahearn during Winter's era. Kids camped out for 2 days for the stampede to get into the student section. I, sadly, saw a co-ed get her leg broken against an Ahearn door in the stampede to the seats and I could do nothing to help her as the crowd press was so tight all I could do is go with the flow.

That experience made me aware of how folks get killed in crowds out of control.
Yeah, crowd control is no joke. Reminds me of Sheffield, England back in 80’s when 96 people were crushed to death at a soccer match. Horrible way to go.

So someone correct me if I'm mistaken, but we now have 8 Home wins by my count with 5 Home games remaining. One more Home win would continue our home court winning streak.

Does the Sprint Center loss count towards the home court streak? If not we are 8-3 if it is included we are 8-4. If you include Sprint Center loss and we lose out we finish 8-9. If you don't include it and we lose out we finish 8-8. I think we will get at least 1 more win though :)

I was in one of those "crushes" during Winter's era. I couldn't believe how much pressure there was. I went through next to a door
and a wonder I made it without injury. I didn't do that again.

I'll admit, I wasn't feeling good about it two weeks ago. I think we'll get 2 more at home.

any pause to consider the wisdom of getting too hysterical too soon?
If you have to be persuaded, reminded, pressured, lied to, incentivized, coerced, bullied, socially shamed, guilt-tripped, threatened, punished and criminalized...you can be absolutely certain that what is being promoted is not in your best interest
