Sophomore year. Hanging out in a friend's apartment with a few buddies. I ask them to check the Pistons game, which they only did reluctantly as some heated Fifa matches were in progress. Less than one minute later all hell broke loose at the Palace, and pandemonium ensued in the apartment. We tossed around superlatives with reckless abandon while watching the umpteenth million slo-motion replay. Fifa was retired for the evening. And still, it only represents about 1/50th of my excitement level tomorrow when we're rushing the field in victory.
i remember two things from
i remember two things from that video
- the nerdy guy yellin and shit as the Pacers flood the stands and then realizes they're after him about 2 seconds too late and tries to bail
- the horrendous reaction it got from the tv crew when they cut away from the stadium. called the city of Detroit thugs and said Pacers were justified. i wanna say it was Steven A Smith.
That was John Saunders
What a guy!

At the risk of being branded a complete racist...
...I can top that GIF. My strongest memory from the brawl was going on SomethingAwful after and seeing this gem:
He says
"tired of noisy cats keeping you up all night, your soooo stupid." Man that show is funny. (Except for last weeks which kind of sucked)
I unfortunately missed it
I unfortunately missed it because at the tender age of 14 I went to bed early (I overestimated the value of sleep at that point in my life) to get up and travel to Columbus the next day with my Dad to watch The Game.
Me fail english thats unpossible!
I didn't think it was
I didn't think it was possible 5 years ago for me to care even less about the Pistons and yet here we are.

i was at a party and no TVs
i was at a party and no TVs were on until a guy got a call from his friend who said he just poured a cup on Ron Artest as he was leaving the floor. We turned it on and watched the replay. I can still remember everything from that night, strange how a big event keeps a memory vivid.
I was about to get some tail
My wife was ready to give me some birthday jollies and I made the mistake of turning on ESPNNews. I immediately called an audible and turned up the volume. It may have been a night of dry bone, but it sure was worth it.
thats why you...
do it doggie style so you can both watch.....
stayed in that night with the roommates
it was junior year before the game and we were getting up early to head down to columbus. i still remember john saunders saying after the incident that "Detroit fans are a bunch of punks" and basically criticizes the entire fanbase. i believe he apologized later on and clarified that he was only referencing those people involved and the players were just as much to blame. i still don't really like the guy to this day, bc of that and his general smugness.
the older generation had the jfk shooting as its signature moment for "remember where you were." my two examples of this are 9/11 and the malice at the palace. one of these events seems out of place.
Considering that I lived 2 miles from the Pentagon
and I watched the plane that crashed into it, I'll take the Malice at the Palace any day!
BTW, John Saunders said one of his reasons for the anger at Detroit was due to getting in the face with something at a Red Wings game.
here is an article about what...
john saunders said after the game:

I was at a bowling alley. My friends and I stopped bowling to watch the absurd scene replayed over and over.

West siders
I was at Fricanos in Muskegon getting some pizza with some friends and happened to glance up at the TV probably 30 seconds before it all went down. I was absolutely stunned, for basically the rest of the nite I called everyone I knew and told them to turn their TV to ESPN if they hadn't heard. It was wild.
Of course the next day Michigan got curbstomped by OSU.

I went to bed with 40 seconds left(had to be up by 8 the next day) and missed the entire thing. I turned on the sports radio and wondered why the hell the weren't talking UM-OSU.
