I left my seat last night and walked up to the upper concourse to watch from near the exit. I had parked at the park and walked over because I got there early and was meeting a friend. My plan was to bolt for the doors and catch the first trolley so I could get to the interstate on time. At around the 1:30 mark when Gill forced up the errant shot and looked as if he had been fouled, I got emotional and left the building.Once outside I started running, I guess it is between one and two miles. I was going to get to my car and get out before everyone. I was convinced UVa was going to lose. I feel my phone vibrating as I am running, I pay no attention. I hear someone scream. One old man drives by and beeps repeatedly and raises a thumbs up with a broad smile. I then feel something eerie in the air. I get to the car and look at the first text, it says YEEEEEEEEESSSSSSS!!!!!! That is when I got in my car and started making phone calls. I see the first trolley coming so I went ahead and got to driving. So, if you saw a forty-ish looking man running away from the JPJ down Leonard Sandridge and Massie last night in a dark blue UVa hoodie near the end and just after the game, that was me.
