"its a stretch to say there were more pens fans up there and the fans were still loud until the very end"

I'm just going on what I saw in the sections around me that game. It would also be a stretch to say that there wasn't a ridiculous amount of Pens fans there. There have been so many displaced Pittsburghers living in this area since the steel mills closed in the 80s, plus it was a Saturday game, so people traveled from the burgh to see it.

I'm not saying the fans weren't loud either. When the RBC Center is sold out, that place is amazing. All I know is that when I watched the game at home on DVR, I could audibly hear us screaming "M-V-P" at the end of the first period and "Caaaaaammm Waaaaaaard" (which I think is fucking retarded) in the third.

You know what, the more I think about it, I'm gonna move this one onto my list and bump off the Super Bowl. That was the greatest and most ridiculous football game I've ever seen. All those damn field goals, and Ricky Manning going nuts with the interceptions. Then that play was just like watching a dream.

10/21/2009 1:21:49 AM

I'm nearly positive that X-clown was responsible for my highest vertical ever. I seriously felt about 20 feet off the ground as Smitty was running into the end zone. It's an extra special memory since I was watching it with one of my best friends (who died a couple of years ago) and he said that he had never seen such an awesome game/someone so emotional after a game and because of that, he was going to pull for the Panthers for the rest of the playoffs (he was a Falcons fan). I watched the whole playoff run with him and considered him my lucky charm and since he was my lucky charm, we watched both the NFC Championship game and Super Bowl at his house. SO many memories from that run. RIP buddy

3 - Will throw some love to NC State, the first football game I ever saw in person freshmen year. First college tailgate, great atmosphere, etc.

1 - Music City Miracle.

2 - The Oilers collapse against the Buffalo Bills after being up 35-3. That one still makes me sick.
