one of my favorite pics.
was that a loss? I can't remember. I remember that was the flood game if I recall. I think the same one where my brother, upon returning from watchign the game at someones house, discoverd his 71 Z28 split bumper under water in the basement (one of those drive in/under basements some old ranch homes have). He had it since he was 15; yellow with black stripes. sad day for him.

I can’t remember either. I’ve had that pictured stored forever because it’s one of my favorites also.

Did the defense ever fail to get a safety when he called his shot like that?

I only remember DT "calling" for a safety twice and that game was one of them. edit: Sept 11th, 1994, SF @ KC was the other game i was thinking of, where DT called a safety and then got it. That time it was Steve Young and KC won the game 24-17. According to Carl Peterson's HOF induction speech for DT, Thomas "called" his shot 3 times and got it, but i only remembered those two.

Sunday night football. I remember being there! There were rumors of a tornado in the area. We almost blew that game late but held on! Great pic.

Definately an awesome pic. I have the other angle for my avatar. Never have changed it. Never will.

I remember it well; I was in my last year of the Navy; 6 months until I got out (was counting the days at this point). Walked into my squadron, and my Lt (who obviously knew I was a fan) told me about it.
I thought he was shitting me. at this time, we didn't have internet up and running in the office, so I had to wait until I got back to my barracks room to read about it. That was a long day, and I was so sad. Note: My BIL and 14 y/o niece were involved in a hit and run on 435 last Thursday; truck slid and rolled 600' and rolled 8 times. My niece was pinned upside down; they had to cut off her hair to get her out (it was wedged under something). Glass in her eyes; 2 broken wrists, broken thumb, staples in the back of her head.. WEAR YOUR MF seatbelts ya'all. She was have been dead (most likely) had she not.

The thing that makes that Seattle game even more special is DT didn’t come at the offense from different positions. He lined up in the same spot all game long. The offense knew he was coming on every down and they could not stop him.
