Right! It's coming back to me now. That 5 game run was great, it was like CP was the personification of Joe Gibbs' mission, and he was carrying years of Skins nostalgia & disappointment on his back. It had only been 6 years since the playoffs but it seemed like decades.
I just remember the feeling I had when he broke around the corner & was getting close to the goal line. I had a new year's day party that day & by then I was deep into a bottle of bourbon. My in-laws were watching w/us & they are all cowpoke fans. I sang HTTR after every score & then some, they got really annoyed w/me but were cool about it. Then I kept saying that I was going to bet my house on us beating tampa. Maybe I shoulda followed through on that!
