...and as the dust settled on the field after Algoma sealed its first victory of many in Thunder Bay, silence befell the crowd...Utter shock, awe and flat-out terror had sweeped over them as they realized that they were defeated on this 17th day of November...This reporter had never seen such an eerie silence...After a few minutes, not one fan had left their seat yet...and then something out of the ordinary occurred...
"gotcha"
A murmur from the back of section 152 of the home sidelines...
"Gotcha"
Could it be? A fan of Thunder Bay?!?
"GOtcha"
Even stranger...The voice started to multiply and become louder, stronger, more confident...
"GOTcha"
And this voice spread down the sections of the stadium, like a wave upon the ocean...From the endzone...to the visitor sidelines...
"GOTCha"
It became a furious frenzy of cheering now...Frowns and distraught among the stadium masses had taken an unexpected turn to bliss and excitement...
"GOTCHa"
The fans, now driven by pure wanton lust for just a glimpse of he who had shown them the way...the true light...Their new beacon of football-playing hope and driving force to get up from bed from their comparably mundane ratrace lives because there might be, just might be, a chance for them to cross his path...
"GOTCHA"
The local Thunder Bay police arrive, they form a barrier between the crowd and the field, afraid that there might be a riot....
"GOTCHA!"
On the now-emptied visitor sideline, there was Rachel Iwanthalfyerdough, a sullen look upon her face, for she had tried to find the man, the myth, the legend amid the team's chaotic victory celebration, but failed in doing so...and now slumped her shoulders knowing that she will probably be scooped...
"GOTCHA! GOTCHA! GOTCHA!!!"
The crowd now ridiculously excited and taken in by the moment...Hoping beyond hope that Gotcha would show himself just one...more...time...
All of a sudden, all of the lights in the stadium shut off at once...The raucous crowd became confused and silenced themselves, cept for one guy back in the top corner seat in section 105 who yelled "I LOVE YOU GOTCHA!"....Moments, which will seem like a lifetime for them forevermore passed....And then it happened....
