Anyone on here live in Haggin Hall that year? If so, do you remember:

- party in the atrium after the comeback against LSU
- Gotta Be The Shorts t-shirt printed by the Inkspot commentating the shorts worn during that game
- ice storm and everyone “skating” around the dorm
- MR. POTATO HEAD FIRST FLOOR WINDOW AND HIS SAYING OF THE DAY??
- Front Row Joe in TV Room every single night
- slip n slide in C Block Hall

I remember a bunch of horribly missed threes and dudes that would brag if they could touch the net when I witnessed these courts. You must have been a LEGEND.

I kid. Sort of.

I don’t know about legend. Were definitely some legit games at Seaton and Alumni, even though Alumni was terrible. I didn’t care much for the blue courts.

Haggin was hit and miss but you might catch a random game at 2 a.m. I liked playing there…short court and soft rims.

Seaton was legit, but if you couldn’t play you better just stay home. Haggin was great for me. Alumni seemed like the floors weren’t level, or the entire building maybe had a slant to it. Blue Courts were ok, not the best.

Best games I played and watched were at Seaton though. Watched our entire 1993 team get nasty in there a few times.

Lived in Haggin 88-89. Played at seaton during fraternity intramurals. Had Mashburn and Braddy in my communications class. 1991-1992

Guarded Travis Ford at seaton during a few pickup games, he would shoot 30 footers and not even hit the rim. I was 5-10. Fun times. I believe this was 1992-1993

Buddy of mine played some pickup with Andre Riddick at the Seaton Center in ‘94. Said one time on the way out Andre crumpled up a sheet of paper and threw it in the trash. But missed. Fetched it, stepped back, threw it again. Missed. Stepped back but not as far. Missed. Real quietly picked it up and set it in the trash.

lol a year or 2 before you guys but the dead spots in that alumni gym were lousy. Seaton center was the place for our Haggin hall crew. We always had the football guys over there in the offseason.

Once playing a game on Haggin Court at about 1:30 in the morning. A herd of high school kids walked up and legit took over the court. These kids were dunking, hitting every shot, running sets, picks, screens, running curls and pick n roll. It was insane. And they were like 16 years old. When they decided to leave they took my friends ball with them.

Another time was playing on Haggin Court and Jeff Shepherd and Anthony Epps played a game. Was amazing. Anthony was nasty and talked shit entire time. Shep dunked on everyone repeatedly.
 
I was Haggin Hall, 91-92 and 92-93...D3, i think. Moved to apts in Fall of 93. Played ball mostly at the Haggin courts.

- You could get into a competitive game of spades anytime at HH.
- Some kid hacked Super Street Fighter machine and a gaggle of students played for free all of 92-93.

Holmes Hall 1999-2001. North side felt more like city living than college, since downtown and everything were so close. Kirwan seemed so far away from everything, it was like, what do you people even do?
