Happy Lions Memories

[FVD]

Barry had a huge game at Tampa, can't remember the year exactly, 93 or 94 but he had 2 80 yard runs, including one where John Lynch met him in the hole and Barry undressed him.

Of course there was the Thursday night game that featured The Corwin.

Thanksgiving Day, 1989, the first time I got to see Barry play in person. Lions were hosting the Cleveland Browns, who were in the process of winning the AFC Central. The Lions, meanwhile, had won one or two games, just a horrible season. It should have been a romp for Cleveland, but it was a low-scoring affair and the Lions eked out a 13-10 win. Made the car ride home with my Browns-loving family members all that more special.

Billy Sims first game as rookie going into LA and beating rams, second being at game I think it was silverdome, I had season tickets, lions were like 0-12, beating vikings to stop possibly going winless, which of course just bump in a road for the lions to do the inevitable and eventually going winless

[wcfwtf]

Anytime beating divisional rivals or Dallas still makes me.happy just to shut up their fucking fan bases

Best memories:
1991 win against Minnesota. Barry had 4 TD.
1991 NFL Playoffs vs Dallas.
1994 Monday Night Football win against San Fransisco. I was able to go.
1994 win against Dallas. Barry had 194 yards and won the battle of the RB vs Smith.
1997 Thanks game against Chicago. Barry had 167 and three TD. Was able to go.
1997 Barry got his 2,000 against the Jets.

I think '93 vs. Vikings at home, Mel Grey with a beauty of a KO return. I was all by myself in the house and was jumping around yelling. Our duplex neighbors said they knew I was watching football at the time.

Barry had multiple TDs in that game also I think.

I think it's in my stash on VHS somewhere.

This is absolutely brilliant, Drew. I can picture that. I couldn't make it along to Easter Road Stadium last night for the Hibs 3-0 win, but it was on TV......., every time the ball was slotted through to a forward, I was up on my feet, "GO ON, SON, GO ON, GOOOOO OOOONNNN!!!" The Mrs sitting close by shaking her head.

Excellent thread, Cat......, excellent first reply CGVT, hoping those Lions survived!...... No Lions memories for me, but going to enjoy reading more of all you guys memories. Love it.

Huh? Is marriage already affecting your memory?

I think Deb is saying she posted it 5 years ago as a memory, not that it occurred 5 years ago.

Ah, right. My married brain not working so well this morning.

Billy Sims - The dude had the biggest heart for the game.

I was at the Barry 2000 yard game in 1997 and that's probably my happiest lions moment as well.

[DanO]

I was there as well Coop.
