Roll call: Who saw the 1999 4 OT title game in person?

I was at the game. That was frustrating. What made it even worse is that there was a weather delay in Mississippi and it cleared up afterward. Would have been so much better to rotate the two start times. It was unbelievably cold. I am able to handle the cold pretty well but that game took the cake.

There was serious talk about moving the game to the Fargo Dome. That was the same weekend the Metrodome ceiling collapsed under the weight of the snow.

Then in the semifinals, it didn't make sense why NW and UMD were not only playing in freezing temperatures, but playing at night to make it even worse. The other semi final game was played in warm temperatures that afternoon in the south......

I watched the 2010 'freezer bowl' on (internet) tv. The game was in Duluth and the students mainly watched the game from their dorm room windows. It was significant for me, because the Bearcats had just defeated the Mules in the quarter finals in Maryville. Then in the semifinals, it didn't make sense why NW and UMD were not only playing in freezing temperatures, but playing at night to make it even worse. The other semi final game was played in warm temperatures that afternoon in the south.......go figure.

As far as the four runner up finishes (in a row), most schools would kill just to achieve one runner up finish. Six national championships and four 2nd place finishes is beyond amazing. One hell of an accomplishment by Northwest Missouri State University. Hats off to Mel, Adam, the assistant coaches, and the players who made it happen.

I want to hear from the Bearcat fans who attended ALL FOUR of the national championship games in 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 in Florence, Alabama, where the Bearcats finished as the runner up four years in a row. You will need to prove that you attended all four games.......oh say, something like.........still visible slash mark scars on your wrists, etc.

I was at The Quaff with 75+ Bearcat fans (from what I remember). So many up and downs that game made the beer flow. I remember the place going crazy and needing a taxi to get home after. :)

Watched the ot's on tv. I don't recall if I watched the entire game or not but the epic ending stands out.

Wasn't there in person (was a broke E-4 in the USAF at the time)...and didn't even see the whole game. Was severely hung over and was lying on the couch watching, but fell asleep at half time. My buddy woke me up just in time for the end of regulation. Hangover or not, I obviously stayed awake through all 4 OT's!!!

Was there.

I didn't follow D2 at that point - even though I was a student at NW. I was back home in Nebraska bartending that day, I had the game on and everyone in the bar was watching it.

I was there.
