But a banged up QB, dark locks and the popular "porn-stache" of the era, hobbled us back in it and we snatched victory from AU. Though more mobile, Grier puts me in mind of Kerwin. Let's hope he's remembered as fondly when his time in Hawgtown is finished. "Deja Vu all over again?" as the late great Yogi might say? Truly a learning moment for our fans in terms of what that team (and leader) was capable of. Maybe 30 years later, the same lesson will be imparted?
I was a sobbing 6 year old(brat, who are we kidding) for that game. The only thing that my mother thought might cheer me up was one of those little plastic footballs the cheerleaders would throw out in the SE end zone. Long and short, she takes me down ther and that TD and 2 pt conversion are some of my earliest memories of BHG. Ironically, I saw Nattiel on Saturday before the game.
Bottomline, we should never leave. Even being there, I've watched the conclusion of that game on YouTube or otherwise at least 25+ times. It's what we go to games for. The idea of leaving early and missing that would literally haunt me.
Nice post to put into perspective,
