I also went to the game. The weather really improved from what they were forecasting. I must say that the Chip fans were very hospitable,(more then just the score). I never saw anyone cross over the line. In fact I spent some time with a CMU alumi past player, sitting with him in the middle of the of season ticket holders section at mid field. I could not hold back my cheering when we made a good play. Never once was I given a scowl, dirty look or was there even a word said to me about it. I came away impressed with the class those folks were showing. I would like to think that if things were reversed that the same would happen at Waldo. I get the rivalry thing which makes the game even more intense. In the end it was a great game to watch made even better by the good sportsmanship displayed by some of their most loyal fans. Proud of our Bronco players and fans. I'm filled with pride and it feels so good to say "IT"S A GREAT DAY TO BE A BRONCO !"

I don't think I'm man enough to sit with my sparty friend at the game next year. I'll be too jacked up.

Yes I understand getting "jacked up" I really expected I would be in for the same kind of treatment I received when attending a Lions-Bears game a couple of years ago with my three kids at Soldier Field. The verbal abuse and shouting at us simply blew my mind and has forever changed my feelings about dabears....One fan sitting behind us wanted to fight me because I wouldn't bet with him on the game. Even had a couple of them try to nudge, push me into an altercation. Maybe that's why I enjoyed this game so much. While I'm fully vested in being a football fan, at the end of the day it's still just a game. It's the journey not the single game out come that makes it such a great sport, for me at-least
