I’ve told this story here before, but what the heck…
In the Dome’s first game, I was sitting with a friend in the last row of the lower section, right against the concrete wall. On those days, the coaches and opposing coaches were in private boxes. We had the Miami, OH coaches right behind us. We always stood up on the benches to watch the game.
At various times during the game, my friend thinks it’s funny to flip the bird at the coaches behind us. When Miami scored at one point, the Visiting coaches were very excited. But then they kicked off to Joe Morris and he returned it all the way for a TD. I put my hands up in celebration, and one of the Miami coaches - who was pissed - reached over the wall and grabbed MY hand by the middle finger and yelled “Do that again and I’ll break it off!”
