Oh man.. i remember that 92 West Finals very well. I didn't think I sat down at all in the last quarter. Stamps receivers didn't actually well that game dropping tons of good passes by Flutie. I was nervous but also very confident that Flutie Magic will come in handy that night too. That was a very cold night but I've been very cold night at McMahon that decade too. It was the Western Semi-Final I believed against the Riders. I was wearing 2 or 3 layers plus wearing my coverall ski-do suit. It didn't help that the Stamps lost that game. I believed it was Pretty Boy Johnson at the quarterback and he threw the ball Larry Ray Willis. Willis just gave up on the play and was intercepted by a Riders DB. I remembered yelling and screaming at Willis. Instead of chasing the guy who intercepted the ball he just stand there and did not even put an effort to chase after the guy. Willis was my most hated Stamps ever. Lazy bum.
I love our defense with two of my all-time favorite DL Will Johnson and MLB Marvin "Big Daddy" Pope. We had the best defense that season with Will Johnson, Harold Hasselbach, Canadians(Stu Laird, Kent Warnock, Srecko Zizakovic) on the line(i am sure I am missing someone else). Then we have AJ(Alondra Johnson), Big Daddy Pope, Canadian Matt Finley. Secondary Junior Thurman and others. On offense another one of my all-time favorite Stamps Bruce "Big Tuna" Covernton, SB Allen Pitts, Dave "The Sponge" Sapungis, Carl Brand, Derrick Crawford, PeeWee Smith and RB Keyvan Jenkins. Mark McLoughlin was actually my all-time favorite kicker. Okay, he is tied with JT Hay.
We have the best assembly of coaches that season too lead by Wally, Huff, George Cortez and others.
Anyways I wish I could be at the game seeing those legends Flutie and company again. I expect a good game tonight with nice weather.
GO STAMPS GO!!!
