I was 11 and listened on the radio with my brother, grandparents and cousin. Our parents must have gone out.

My brother and I would've killed to be there - no TV but had Hawthorn describing the thick fog and oranges raining down.
I thought I wanted to be a journalist or sports reporter and typed up notes real-time on grandma's manual typewriter. Wish I had that "story."

Also wish I could forget the following two games.

I was 13, my Dad and I listened to that game on the radio, big win and was really exciting to go to the Orange Bowl.
