it was the year we won the SEC - Shaq's last year, i think. they played us in the Hump at the end of the season.
before the game, one of our students kept trying to get shaq's attention. he kept yelling HEY SHAQ! HEY SHAQ! well, shaq never looked his way. at the end of warmups, after yet another HEY SHAQ!, shaq turned and looked at the guy, who immediately yelled "OH MY GOD, HE'S CROSS-EYED!" laughter erupted from the student section. shaq calmly picked up a basketball and walked over to the goal. he delivered one of his patented rim-rocking dunks, and the crowd shut up.
the same guy had a plan for the player intros. when they called the players out by name, he went to the top of the aisle. when they called shaq's name, he came running down the aisle, holding above his head an inflatable gorilla wearing a #33 LSU jersey.
