We lost 

 Billy "White Shoes" Johnson that takes me back. 

My first game was Joe Montana's 49ers who the Bengals later played in their very first Super Bowl appearance that same season. 

Sounds like the perfect game to start off with but was really cold and they sold the top 6 rows in the stadium for cheap which we bought being only teenagers. We were in the 2nd to last row and the wind was howling over the top. That was not the big issue though per the beer salesman would only walk about a third of the way up before selling out. Had to run down the stairs and back each time we needed a beer as well. 

The game was not what you would expect from the two teams who would later meet in SB either per Kenny Anderson was hurt and the 49ers won easily 21-3. 

Jack Thompson "the Throwin' Samoan" was the QB that day who not many fans were fans of and the entire game chants for Turk Schonert echoed throughout the stadium. This may happen to Mixon soon, just joking.

Still had a great time and was hooked on attending NFL games ever since and became a season ticket holder 10 years later from 91 thru 21. 

Good Times
