The wife texted me and asked me if i wanted to go (which i really didn't). Long story short, when she realized what the temp would be, she asked me if i wanted to see if my brother in law and nephew wanted to go.
The thought of being in that atmosphere during the first playoff win in 31 years after all the shit i've been through (along with all the other Bengals fans) was pretty enticing but i toughed it out and decided not to do it. She even broke out the ole "you only live once" line.
The drawback was if they lost (which they're not going to do) i don't want to be sitting there thinking "$1300 for 3 hours of this".
Not to try and be a debbie downer but i'm still not getting up and looking forward to this game only to have to deal with all that bullshit if it goes the other way (which it won't). Never doing that again but i will have it on my computer monitor and i'll watch and enjoy it as long as things are going good, like i've been doing for the last few weeks.
Yeah. I'm wearing long underwear (top and bottom), we have hand warmers and I'm going to put those inside one of those little pouches quarterbacks wear to keep their hands warm (I think we still have one from my playing days.......... brother is looking), jeans with lining, thick socks, a sweatshirt, gloves with the fingers cut out (so I can type on my board), and a heavy wool jacket with a hood!
It's going to be FREEZING! Hopefully the crippled section blocks some wind and coney crates will warm us up!
