There I was -- Tunnel 4, Row 55, Seat 15. We were already ahead 7-0, and Wisconsin was facing third down on their first possession. The sound level in our section was beginning to ramp up.
Then, from a few rows behind I hear someone bellow: "Come on people, this is H.UGE!!!" Naturally, having visited this Board more than a few times, I immediately cringed upon hearing the forbidden adjective. However, after watching our guys respond to our cheering by shutting down Wisconsin and forcing a punt, I turned around to see from whence the [SUCCESSFUL!] exhortation had come. Sure enough, smiling broadly [and brandishing what I believe may have been a Bud], there was ... Teejers!
If I understand it correctly, the H-word was banished as a result of the Texas game, which opened up the 1999 season [otherwise known as the last season to end up in the Rose Bowl before this year]. So, it seems a reasonable question to ask: Have the demons been exorcised?
[BTW, if you think I'm making this up, I can at least prove, thanks to that gigapan website, that Teejers was, in fact, sitting a few rows behind me, and a few seats to the left of terry, I believe.]
