Not quite...done a few times before.
By 1988 they had not done it since, I believe, 1945. I was a company commander at the time and I was on a field training exercise (I think gunnery). Anyway, from 1st Platoon Leader was from Mass. and we both were nervous on the possible outcome. Some of my troops were from there as well. Being in the deep South we could not get the game on the radio and of course we were without a TV. However, we could pick up the broadcast of one of our local TV stations on our FM radios. I remember the sitting in my command track listening to the news in the morning and when they went to Sports, the sportscaster said.."And for the first time in 43 years..." that's as far as he needed to go. I grabbed the handset for the other radio on the company NET and screamed into it "BRUINS WIN!!! BRUINS WIN!!!" I could hear yelling and screaming all around th company perimeter.
If you hear a loud roar coming from your South this evening....well, that would be me!
