13, in 7th grade, ran my fastest mile ever of 7:24 (and I walked most of the last lap because my side began to hurt pretty freaking bad).

[BJWilliams]

I was 15 years old and getting ready to take a class trip to Boston

Dolly the sheep was cloned.

The Beauty and The Beast had just come out.

Diddy was still Puff Daddy and Biggy died.

OJ Simpson was found liable in civil court.

OJ Simpson was found liable in civil court.

I remember listening to that on the radio in class.

Mrs. Veit's 5th grade AG math and language arts class. Our classroom was a trailer next to the basketball courts. King Intermediate School. We were the Spartans.

The Flames had Peter Aluma,Marcus White, and Larry Jackson leading the way to a 23-9 season only to be ousted in the championship game of the Big South tourney by Charleston Southern. 1997 is also the 1st Big South title for the womens team, led by the Wilkerson twins and Elena Kisseleva. Oh, one more thing about the mens team, they had the most wins in D1 basketball that year to NOT make the tournament...that was my Junior year at LU

I was getting married (Feb. 15, 1997 )

OK, on the 20th we were on our honeymoon in Williamsburg.

Tiger Woods was in his first year as pro and had yet to win a major.

[TIMSCAR20]

I was getting married (Feb. 15, 1997 )

OK, on the 20th we were on our honeymoon in Williamsburg.

I was on that staff that won the 20th game and we had visions of a ring. The only ring I got that year was from my fiance whose birthday we were celebrating that day. Can't remember what I did for her but I am pretty sure it was nothing special since I was a poor coach with 0 time for a social life. Got married that spring and went to Willamsburg for my honeymoon too. Stayed in a bed and breakfast.

[ATrain]

I was 11 in the 6th grade, a Safety Patrol officer (yes, my school at that time had those...it was pre-LCA days), and hadn't even started playing tennis yet.

[Sly Fox]

I was still single and while covering games at the Erwin Center I would sit next to the man who would later become our 43rd President. The man loves popcorn as much as the Horns.

[WinthropEagleFan]

Gregg Marshall was still just an assistant coach up at Marshall.

[Fumblerooskies]

I was on the bench for UNCA in basketball season in 1997...with a team that should have won it.

I was living in Deer Isle, Maine just surviving a big Ice Storm that caused power to be out for 2 weeks....

[Sly Fox]

Hey, its been quite awhile since I did any dropping. But in February 1997, that's best I could offer.

[PAmedic]

I was still in my late 20s and had just been promoted from Captain to Battalion Chief.

Only divorced 1 yr and had not met my wife yet.

Only had 1 kid.

[Ed Dantes]

I was a pathetic loser in 1997. Times haven't changed...

[Ed Dantes]

In 1997...
The world hadn't yet heard of Monica Lewinsky... it'd still be another few months before we logged on to our Prodigy or AOL accounts and found out about the President's latest squeeze.

[SeoulFlame]

I was in my first semester at LU. I loved watching that team! Our guards were pretty incred, good job Scar!

[Cider Jim]

1997--Davey Johnson managed the Orioles to 94 wins and the playoffs: Mike Mussina was still an Oriole, as was Cal Ripken, Robby Alomar, BJ Surhoff, Raffy Palmeiro, & Brady Anderson. That was a LONG time ago.
