Can confirm it was cold as I was there. It was also a time when we stayed in the stadium until 0:00, no matter the conditions.

I was there with my wife to be, surprised she still married me after that game. She was miserable. Ironically, now that I see the date, we were married exactly 5 years later.

I stayed married to mine by not taking her!

That was a cool thing to watch on Youtube. Everything sounded so familiar. According to the announcers, offense was good but it was the defense that won the games that year. Run the ball down your throat, smash mouth football. Defense giving up yards, but not points. That has been the App recipe for success for a very long time.

Ritchie Melchor was a beast his entire career. Has a good career going on in Charlotte now.

I was there with my son.......my son who ended up at Kullowhee Kollege.

My Dad coached Ritchie in Pee-Wee football. What is he up to?

Also, this was the coldest I have ever been at an App game. Drove up from Atlanta that morning and was not prepared.

I sent Ritchie this clip. He loved it. Said it sure brought back memories. He is a co founder and vp of Carolina Family Connections a private foster care agency. i think he started as a Sheriffs Deputy out of school.

I remember seeing Irk pour their Stink water on mid field.....where it promptly froze.....just like Stink did.
