Where were you during the Davison and Westie's catch?

For Davisons I was at our house on 30th and T street, doing a little drinking and having fun.

For yesterday I had let the Cube (great place to watch by the way) and we headed back to O street, Brothers was to packed to get in so we hit up Cliffs and were drinking and watching it there. The place exploded!

 
I was on my knees in front of the TV at a friend's house begging for a miracle before Davison's catch. Yesterday I was at my parent's house thinking, "this is over".

My sister and brother-in-law were at the '97 Missouri game and at the game last night. What luck.

 
Davison: I was 8 years old in the family room of my parents house, watching with the radio audio and TV on mute because my dad hated TV commentators

Yesterday: section 16C

 
I was watching the game with my dad (i was in high school) and when Frost made that pass I had no idea time had expired so when it bounced in the air I thought....one more shot...then I can't sum up all the excitement....

Last night, my reaction was similar to Bo's. Disbelief. Getting myself prepped to read the carnage that was about to flood the board and I could barely get excited (like Bo) because of the shock. All I could do was smile after that.

 
For Davison's, I was 13, and on my bed praying into my pillow throughout that whole drive. I sat up to watch just in time for the snap, and then proceeded to run around the house screaming.

Yesterday, I was up in the North Stadium, ironically, in the same exact seats we were in for the Henery kick in 2008-the seats that we've used by far the very least over the years. Just strange.

Last little tidbit. Halfway to Lincoln yesterday, I got pissed. I'd realized I forgot to set the DVR for the game. We joked for 10 miles how that's a sign that somethings special's gonna happen and so on......

We were chopping wood for my Grandpa for the Davison Catch while listening to it on the radio. The final drive we decided to go inside and we just made it in time to see the catch.

Westy's catch I was home, just hoping for something big. House went crazy on that catch! These teams drive ya crazy!

 
Yesterday was in section 34

In 97, I was on the golf course pissed off and hating all those involved, like only a "mature" 17 year old could. Total ly unaware of what had transpired

 
I was at a bar that unfortunately did not have BTN here in St. Louis, chatting with the head of the public service organization that I'm a part of for my law school. He's a Northwestern grad, and was keeping me updated on the game.

We were both stunned.

As for the Davison catch, I was a 6 year old kid watching it in wide-eyed wonder at my grandparents' house in Avoca, Iowa.

I can't remember where I was during the Missouri game as I was 5 or 6 at the time. I was at the game last night, South Stadium row 85. Also have been there for the Ohio State comeback, Colorado in 2008.

 
Running Springs CA, basically fighting an entire room of Pac 10 fans. Ohhhh...deliciously satisfying. They were literally pointing in my face and laughing until, like the kids who had to screech to a halt from a dead sprint to the field in Columbia they too froze...

And I just grinned as serene as can be. God, that was awesome.

 
Matt's catch: Watching it on tv at home AND LOVING IT!!

Jordan's catch: Listening to it on KFAB (We got rid of cable this year) and not believing what I was hearing!!! (I thought the game was over when NW made the field goal! Oh me of little faith!!!)

 
For the Missouri game in 1997, I was sitting in the grass on the hillside with a mix of Nebraska & Missouri fans. Yesterday I was at one of the watch party sites in Denver.
