Darby's Last Shot - Grinnell College

The last shot of the last game in Grinnell College's Darby Gym. 2 points behind Knox College with seconds on the clock, Steve Wood sinks a three-pointer to win the game, and the fans rush the floor (and are sent back so the last .06 seconds can run off the clock... and then rush the floor again). Filmed by Adam Aguirre '06.

@campisfortis Can you remember much about the Ultravox gig? I'm doing some research on that particular tour. Any info would be much appreciated...

I saw Springsteen at Darby in '75. Wow. Steve Wood wasn't even born then.

[campisfortis]

And Ultravox, and the Ramones too.

I saw Buddy Guy & the late Junior Wells in Darby in '86.

That's my babydaddy.

Wood, a fellow proud '04 alumnus!

I dont know if anyone has noticed this but before the ball even goes in he puts his hands up. He knew it was good. 2,379 career points...not too bad!

I remember this game. I was down at the bottom of the screen with the baseball players. What a way for Darby to go.

Excellent! Grinnell went to the run and gun offense when I was there (class of '94). Darby was a special place.  I'll never forget sitting behind the Knox bench banging on an empty keg with a hammer for the ENTIRE game.

I was there and remember it well. I was on a first date with a girl and got so caught up in the last shot that I left her in the stands to celebrate! Steve Wood was unfreakin' believable.
