I was there...
The crowd was Great!!!
We actually had Bo whining about all 48,000 of us being too loud... (really happened)...
It was a waterlogged work of art...
Actually, it was the World Series. Had to end in 5 or less to get the game on. Once the Twinkies won Game 4 to even the series, that took care of the TV hopes. (B1G only had the contract with ABC, and Raycom was allowed one syndicated telecast but couldn’t drop their scheduled game to pick up our game.)was scheduled for network tv contingent upon an AL baseball playoff being completed.

I had forgotten about the world series. I had been sick all week and didn't want to battle the weather, but as a huge Cardinals fan, being able to watch the baseball game eased the sting of having to miss. I listened to Fisch and Max on the call, screamed and yelled enough as it was winding down to make my bronchitis worse.Actually, it was the World Series. Had to end in 5 or less to get the game on.

Was on campus but couldn’t go.

On a related note, I missed both "darkest day" games as well. In '87 I had a chance to go to Cbus with a buddy, but had already made plans to attend a basketball coaches' clinic. When they announced the score at the clinic I didn't know whether to cheer or cry. The next year, the wife's brother got married on that day and our daughter was the flower girl. I didn't even bother to ask if it was ok for me to skip the wedding, but I bailed on the reception to catch the radio broadcast.
I'm going to be there tomorrow, even if it's raining shit. I'm not missing the next historic streak-breaker - though I will admit that if we lose in overtime again I might take a plunge from the tower of the NEZ.

The worst part is that they got divorced a few years later - so the whole damn thing was a waste. I still bring that point up to my wife about why I should have skipped the wedding for the game.talk about a pathetic lame ass excuse.
Did they return the two unopened unused Blenders? On the bright side, at least You and Your Wife Didn't pay the Cost of the Wedding. Then again, with Your Luck they probably had a Cash Bar.The worst part is that they got divorced a few years later - so the whole damn thing was a waste.
