[QUOTE="Buck Turgidson, post: 1863868, member: 174344"] I ran out on the field for that TD. I was in Block I and had wandered down to the field gate at the north endzone. I chatted up the gentlemen manning it. He was wearing an 'I like Dike' pin, and I might've told him I was related to Dike Eddleman. I asked him if I could stand on the field. Amazingly, he said I could as long as I stood next to him. When Rooks turned the corner on the TD run, I ran toward the back of the endzone. Even from a healthy distance away he sounded like a freight train and looked about 7 feet tall. I tried to get him to give me a high five, but he didn't (I'll assume he didn't see me). I walked back to the gate, The gate custodian was ticked and asked me what the heck I was thinking. I told him I was caught up in the moment and said that was the greatest play I'd ever seen. He agreed...then told me to get back in the stands. [/QUOTE]
