    Too funny, but it ain't gonna happen.

    Hey, Pink, are you old enough to remember the "Freezer Bowl" your beloved Chargers played in Cincy back in '82?

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freezer_Bowl

    Here are a couple excerpts:

    "In NFL lore, the Freezer Bowl (January 10, 1982) was the 1981 AFC Championship Game between the San Diego Chargers and the Cincinnati Bengals. The game was played in the coldest temperature in NFL history in terms of wind chill. Air temperature was -9°F (-23°C), but the wind chill, factoring in a sustained wind of 27 miles per hour, was -37°F (calculated as -59°F (-51°C) using the now outdated wind chill formula in place at the time)."


    "Before the Chargers took the field, Running back/Special teamer Hank Bauer tested the field conditions. Bauer recalled:"when I came out of that tunnel... man, it(the wind) just hit you-like somebody threw 100 knives at you." When he returned to the locker room, he told his fellow teammates: "Whatever you got on, take it off. Number one-you wont be able to move(with all the layers)and number two-it aint gonna help."

    The Bengals offensive line played the entire game with bare arms. It was so cold icicles started to form on Fouts' beard early in the game."

    At least one person died from hypothermia from being at that game.. Untold others had frostbite. My boys took to the field with only Vasoline on their arms, while your "Sunny CA" boys were beat before they even took the field. What a game!

    And yes, I KNOW I have to re-visit our glory days because it sure has been a long, dry spell!
