|SF2| 4,180 Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 I was 100 meters from Iraq in the middle of fucking nowhere leaning against an M1A1 tank thinking, “Did the Bengals win?” We had no radio reception. So the reality is the last time I watched or heard the Bengals win a playoff game live was against San Diego in the freezer bowl. I was there. My friend’s dad had company tickets and said, “Fuck that.” We were in High School. The radiator in his Dad’s Firebird froze up on the way home by King’s Island. We were pretty high when AAA showed up an hour later. During the 89 Super Bowl run I was doing a “border tour” on the West/East German border. Basically, 40 days of 24/7 border patrol duty. The only playoff game we got to see was the Super Bowl. We lost. So, 40 years for me?? Fuck my life. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sea Ray 66 Posted January 13 Report Share Posted January 13 Hell, I was at the playoff game vs Buffalo in 1981-82 that was damn cold. I had a wedding to attend after that so I gave my tickets to the real freezer bowl away. Glad I did Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The cig smoke was so think I thought I was at a Blue Oyster Cult concert at Hara Arena. Unfortunately, it was the wrong flavor of smoke. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jamie_B 3,274 Posted January 14 Report Share Posted January 14 I was 15. I remember it because it was the same year that the Reds won the pennant and I thought Cincinnati Sports was on the rise. :( Quote Link to post Share on other sites
