After losing most of this team let's see how high the enthusiasm will be. This will be bittersweet these memories!

Re: CHASING MARCH HU Documentary 8/25
Nothing bitter sweet about it ion my book as this long-awaited NCAA Tourney appearance created a lifetime of memories and it doesn't happen without heroics of Preston and others who are now gone. They are forever Hofstra legends and should be forever celebrated as such. It would be cool if German attends.triplec2195 wrote: ↑Thu Aug 06, 2026 5:19 am After losing most of this team let's see how high the enthusiasm will be. This will be bittersweet these memories!

Agree about the memories but will still always wonder what could have been if they stayed.

Re: CHASING MARCH HU Documentary 8/25
Great to see but are they ever going to do anything for the 2020 team?
Re: CHASING MARCH HU Documentary 8/25
Spot on Wags. That omission is disgraceful.

They did a documentary for 2020 team also that was released in early 2021. I admittedly never watched since was to depressed about what happened with NCAA tourney being cancelled but at some point I will check it out. https://youtu.be/Ix1iBgiShJ4

Ditto, thanks for posting. That's great! Did they promote much? I'm among those seeing it or even hearing about it for the first time only now.triplec2195 wrote: ↑Fri Aug 07, 2026 12:40 pmThanks for posting this HP1 I have never seen this.

Wow I have no recollection of this. Very strange.
Re: CHASING MARCH HU Documentary 8/25
News to me and, it appears, most people on this board. Strange is right.

Thanks for sharing this video, a first for me as well - very glad to see it, and relive an incredible year.
Absolutely awesome to see this event from HU - great concept, and dig the tie into Pride Club and Season Tickets to help boost both. These are the kind of cool fan experiences we need to be doing.

Attended last night's reception and preview. Would say a couple of hundred people attended. It was pretty low key with the new team in attendance.
The presentation was about an hour with mostly footage from the season and interviews/insights from Speedy/Cole and others.
All in all a worthwhile evening.
They said the documentary will be issued next week for public viewing.
One thing that was somewhat disturbing was several references to it being 25 years since we made the Dance...very little on Mihalich's run and championship.

Re: CHASING MARCH HU Documentary 8/25
I thought documentary was a grand slam all around as beginning of it touched on history of how long it had been since last time in big dance and touched on the heartbreak of what happened in 2020 with archival footage of Mihalich speaking about it. It then touched on the Speedy era and how they had been in mix but always fallen short in CAAs followed by a very disappointing 2024/2025 season. The doc went through every game of season culminating of course with those magical days in DC mixed in with awesome interviews that included Cruz and Preston. It was about 50 mins and very little I honestly would have changed about it so major kudos to Kevin Dexter and Stephen Gorchov for an incredible job!HUSID74 wrote: ↑Wed Aug 26, 2026 10:59 am Attended last night's reception and preview.
