1987 was awesome and I missed all of it.  I was stationed onboard the USS Saratoga CV-60 at the time and we were doing a Med cruise during the summer and fall of 1987.  My mother would send me the whole sports section from the Syracuse paper so I could catch up.  We were a couple of days out of home port and I got to listen to the BC game live on Armed Forces Radio Network.

My favorite memory was of the Penn State game.  My best friend was from PA and is Penn State fan.  I heard the score on the AFRN and went to wake him and tell him.  I told him the score was 48-21 and he said "oh, we kicked your ass"...I told him to slow down we kicked PSU's...he didnt have a word to say.  A couple days later, we pulled in to Naples Italy and I went to the USO to call home.  The entire call consisted of my father giving me a run down of the game.  I had to make a second call home the next day to talk to the rest of the family.  Upon our arrival back to homeport in November, my father handed me a VHS tape of the game and we watched it in my office on the ship.  I made sure to invite several PSU fans to watch...It was great...

Cant wait for another long run of great seasons...
