Ha, I guess so. Luv Ya Blue days as well. Houston Oilers Number One was my jam. On vinyl.
Probably earliest Oilers game memory I still have was the road playoff loss to the Raiders in 1980. Can't tell if I truly remember games before then firsthand or if I just remember it from watching highlights over the years. I mean, aside from knowing Bum and Earl in the late 70s - and who didn't back then - that was the earliest
game I still remember, though I moved to Spring the winter of 78/79 I think. Anyway, in the '80 wild card, Raiders pulled away in the 4th, and my dad took me out for ice cream before it was over. Bum's last game iirc.
Little did I know then that there is not enough ice cream in the world for coping with 35-3 and Frank Reich some 13 years later.
P.S. I was at Alameda County Coliseum for an A's-Rays game earlier this summer. Place is a time warp back to the 80s. I kinda dug it. Not many multi-purpose stadiums like that left anymore. Nostalgia is a dangerous thing.
