Text messages were flying all over Cincinnati and beyond on Saturday night in celebration of the Bengals' playoff win over the Las Vegas Raiders.
Given that pretty much everyone texts now, that was to be expected.
But it took on more significance after one fact circulated on social media: The last time the Bengals won at this time of year was Jan. 6, 1991.
The first text message sent happened on Dec. 3, 1992.
That's how long ago it was. The thing that for so many of us has become ubiquitous, our way of instantly communicating with loved ones and friends, didn't even exist.
