I had no tickets and wasn't planning on going. I had two jobs back then. My buddy called me my at my day job and told me he had an extra ticket. I had to get out of working that night, then explain to my girlfriend that I wouldn't be down to Lexington after work as we'd planned.
It all worked out and I had an absolute blast. I'm not sure if it's the most I've ever had to drink at a game, but it was damn close, lol. Some of the games in the early Palmer/Lewis Era were incredible. It was exciting to watch them become a relevant team again. Some of my best memories as a fan came from that time.
Absolutely. And I am old enough to remember the Sam Wyche-led Bengals. The innovation on those teams. It was like they were playing chess while other teams were playing checkers. It wasn't sustained very long, but damn was it fun. Ditto the early Palmer years. We felt like there was no game they didn't have a solid chance of winning. I am looking forward to seeing what Taylor and company can do with this overhauled offense.
