Of course the oracle was on the road and not available for comment for a few days after that annihilation.

That was quite a night. It really was well-timed with the advent of the dynasty. The season wasn't so great, but not all of them are.

This is the game I came here to mention, too! Last game of the season, needed a W to make playoffs, GAME BLACKED OUT! So 2 of my brothers and a buddy and I bought seats at the back row of the endzone. We still refer to ourselves as the Gang of Four. I made a memorable over-the-wall catch of the audience nerf football. It was F-R-E-E-Z-I-N-G.

Stanley Morgan caught a bomb right down the middle, from Grogan I think. It was still a game late until Craig James --- the best one-season RB the Pats ever had until Dillon '04 --- ran about 32 yards for a TD late in the 4th quarter to ice it.

We went on the field, but were not the ones who ripped the goalposts down, or the ones who had lightning shoot out their penises on Route 1. (At first the Pats offered tickets or something to the hospitalized fan, then their lawyers talked to them and they prosecuted instead.)

Wish I could remember the year but I was lucky enough to get tickets on the 40 yard line right behind the Patriots bench. Jimmy Hitch**** and some of the other players turned around and waved at me. My boyfriend, at the time waved back.

To date, it's the ONLY game that I've actually used a blanket.

To top it off, it went into OT. Was a great ending since the Pat's actually WON. (up until then, they were like 0 and 19 in OT..an NFL record)

I remember thinking "DAMN..it's sooo cold just get this game over with!!" (even the flasks of Jack we snuck in weren't keeping us warm!)

BTW.. guess who the QB from Tampa was......Vinny Testaverde!! (another great Pats memory)

I was at this game as well. Don't remember if the tix were given to me or bought myself, but I had forgotten the year. So if 88 is right, I was a freshman in college. My thoughts exactly...get this damn game OVER with! Our luck...went to OT.

It's memories like this game that make me appreciate the team so much more.
