Mine is definitely 1990. Sure, I like the routs, but nothing stands out like the magical feeling that evening.
My roommate and I had an older hippie type behind us. During the team\'s second to last possession, he said, "We\'re going to win this ballgame." I wasn\'t so sure, but I liked that we were at least making a game of it.
When John Hardy intercepted the pass for the 2-point conversion, I was deflated. I can still remember his hands going up. The long-haired guy behind me said matter-of-factly "We can recover an onside kick, march down the field, and kick a field goal."
Then, as the events began to unfold just as he had said, I began to pace back and forth, saying "I can\'t believe this. I can\'t believe this."
Then, I can remember seeing John Hopkins\' kick sail into the night sky, and just inside the western side of the south end zone goalpost.
