Backdoor Cuts: Tenacious D
Rewind to March 31, 1984. The city is Seattle, Washington. It’s halftime of a very important basketball game. A Final Four game. And we are losing. Yes—we, as in the Georgetown Hoyas Men’s Basketball team—trail the Kentucky Wildcats by a score of 29-22. Patrick Ewing hangs his head in the locker room, lamenting first-half foul trouble. (Big) John Thompson wipes sweat from his brow with that white towel he always drapes over his shoulder. This was supposed to be our year.
