1981, I was just out of Air Force basic training, at my technical school and everybody was into football, I was more of a Reds fan. I was just being a smart aleck and guaranteed my Bengals would win the Super Bowl, (after going 4-12 the year before). Then they got good and started being on TV a lot (I was in Virginia). They kept winning and made the playoffs. I got to my first duty station in Bitburg Germany and met the most obnoxious Chargers fan. The next game was against the Chargers, the "Freezer Bowl" and they won that game. On to the Super Bowl which started for us at around 1 in the morning. I was in a huge common area and was the lone Bengals fan there.
That was my first memory of the NFL or the Bengals.
