This is cool and all, however do u have highlights of this game on tape. It sounds like an underrated SWC classic matchup that doesn't get much attention.
I was there too. I saw Eric and his Blue number 19. Every other mustang had red numbers.Fabulous game. At one point Craig got knocked out of his shoes. This guy I knew jumped up and yelled out "take off your shoes-you're on holy ground." We all fell out. That was sooo funny.What a great day.I miss Baylor so much.I live in Austin right now and it is all about the Horns.Great team but..well..you'd have had to been at Baylor in the 70s to understand.What a time to be a Bear.Sic'em BEARS!!!
good stuff here. Hard to imagine today, but this game in 1980 featured two of the nation's elite football teams that season. With Eric Dickerson, Craig James and the Pony Express going toe to toe (or should I say eye to eye) with Baylor legendary linebacker Mike Singletary. BU won, 32-28 in route to an undefeated SWC season and a cotton bowl berth. SMU went on to a fine season, reaching the holiday bowl and losing to BYU in one of the greatest comebacks in bowl history.
