I remember being at the game thinking we were on a game winning drive when Andrew Luck threw the pick six on the infamous Spider 3 Y Banana play. At that point I was completely demoralized. I was amazed that we pulled off the two minute drill to tie the game and go to overtime because I didn't think the team would be able to rise back up in a road game. I was stunned in the overtime at how easily they scored and how we seemed to be hanging on by a thread. Then on their possession in the third overtime from those terrible seats at the opposite end of the stadium, I saw our team starting to celebrate and saw our fans start to celebrate, so I started to celebrate. Then I asked my seatmates what the hell had actually happened. I don't think they ever showed a replay at the Coliseum but I knew we had won when the SC team started leaving the field dejectedly. We just stayed and celebrated with the band until the team came over and it was pure joy. We stayed until the band got kicked out so that the more aggressive, drunken SC fans would have a chance to be on their way before we headed out. We bought the best tasting bacon-wrapped hot dogs ever and raced home to watch the replay on my friend's tv. One of the best sporting events I have ever attended.
