Oh my goodness, that game.
My dad's season tickets (from 1984 until this season when he gave them up since he could not walk to the stadium anymore) have been in the 4th row of the endzone just to the outside of the goalposts.
The Bettis fumble and Harper scoop was at the far endzone so we could see his return weaving his way towards us. Even when he was running and we saw Big Ben trying to figure out which way he was going, I knew that Harper was going to get tackled.
And with Vandershank lined up for the kick, I just knew that he was going to miss it. And, I was in position to see that it started out inside the goalposts but could see the entire flight as it started edging outside the posts and then missed it by a good margin by the time it crossed the back of the end zone.
Gahhh....getting to watch the full flight of that kick from the point when it got over the linemen to when it hit the net knowing it was bad was crushing.
Yeah, this season is nothing like the walk back to the car from THAT game.
Thanks. Now I will be brooding about that kick for the next 2 hours.
Walk Worthy,
