1990 vs. Iowa in the OB. Loudest placed I'd ever been. Until the next weekend.
Even though my father started taking me to games in '89 (first game against Cal, got the souvenir cups to prove it), the first game I can actually really remember is against Iowa in '90. Perhaps because we rode Tri-rail down from Lauderdale, which was unusual because I think we drove before that, and there were a bunch of Iowa fans riding on it as well. I remember that, when we got on it in Broward, the Iowa fans were numerous and noisy, the closer we got to the OB, the more they were overwhelmed with UM fans. And after the game, man, I remember how defeated they looked.
Weird that the first game that stuck, it stuck because of a bunch of mid-westerners that watched their team get their asses kicked, but man, they were outclassed, and they knew it. Them recognizing their inevitable destruction at the hands of superior talent made a lasting impression, I guess.
