Your stories from the Freezer Bowl

I was stationed at Ft. Wainwright in the interior of Alaska at the time.  I was a die hard Bengal fan then and now.  I don't remember a lot of details from the game, but I do recall two things in particular.  One, was that it was about 30 degrees warmer in Fairbanks that day than it was in Cincinnati.  And two, I remember seeing Bengal jerseys being worn all around town by lots of bandwagon fans.  

I did make it to the conference championship game 7 years later when we beat Buffalo.  That was the greatest sports event I've ever attended.  The stadium was a roar the whole game.  I don't think we sat down, and you had to yell to the person sitting next to you to be heard.  I would love to experience that again ...
