Much of the crowd had left, so I got in for free when it was supposed to not matter. But there was Steve Vogel marching our Buffs down the field, and then Derek Singleton, at the time a prized recruit, scoring on the 2-point conversion. It was so sweet to see it happen, but bitterweet at that. Singleton died later that year of spinal meningitis. The hope that the Fairbanks Era had a shot was short-lived. But nonetheless, I'll never forget it. It was a great comeback. I was there. Much of the crowd had left, so I got in for free when it was supposed to not matter.
