The great thing was while we were in the NCAA tourney that year, the band stayed at the same hotel as the basketball team. A few of us were hanging out in the lobby talking (Singleton, McLeod, Heaps IIRC), and somebody let slip about the Heaps pool. Todd thought it was hilarious, and Jay was flabbergasted that we'd been betting on him all season. Then he commented offhand that he wished he could've gotten in on it earlier in the season.
Congrats on a great career Jay!
