Dad and i went outside to get in the car and anything wet--like nostrils--froze instantly. It also took us about 30-45 minutes to get the car started to get where we were going to watch the game.
I usually spent Sunday's at my Dad's. He was not a football fan but would tolerate it when I came over. We lived in a small town so he lived close by, so I brushed aside my Mom's concerns and decided to walk to his apartment. It wasn't a long walk, especially in nice weather, but I had just thrown on a jacket and a toque. I was still cold the next day at school.
I have to say the '81 team is my favorite. I had been a fan for a few years when a SB run came out of the blue.
I understand people liking this team, and I do as well. But, no way I'm declaring it my all time favorite of 40+ editions of this team when we're a scant seven games into a season.
