@chadwell601 and after all these years UH will be back in a major conference come 2013...it will be the Big East, but I am hoping they will join the Big 12 one day.
yeah the aggies thought they owned us but ever since 95 things have changed its the team from austin thats runnin the state and pretty soon the nation. holla
Im not a fan of either A&M or UT however this was a man's man of a football game. Tough hitting, good defense , good running, The SWC's (r.i.p.) last game defined a great and tough conference.
Almost forgot - I'd be remiss if I didn't mention that James Brown played an absolutely heroic game with a severe high ankle sprain. He couldn't walk for two weeks after the game.
And he'd sprained his other ankle during the game. Playing on that Astroturf, in those conditions, against the Wrecking Crew, when we hadn't beaten them in College Station since '83. Just absolute guts by Brown. I hated the Ags SO much back then (still do, but that level was unparalleled).
The '96 Big XII title game may have been a "bigger" win, but this game was the turning point when the Longhorns took back control of the state. It was a long 10 year period, but it feels worth it now!
what a great day!! nothing like thanksgiving in TEXAS!
so long swc. I personally believe the creation of the big 12 was the greatest thing that ever happened to TEXAS! it took us from being on the same level of teams such as houston, rice, smu, and tcu to being on the same level as teams like nebraska and oklahomo. now we are a national powerhouse! I believe U.T. was the program that benefited the most from the big 12.
It was. The Rice-UH game took place later that day at Rice Stadium. I went to that game and Rice had a giant kegger in honor of the occasion. Not that they need a reason.
Goodbye to A&M takes on a whole new meaning

Lol, he runs right past their defense and gets a touch down then one of the spirits congratulates him by knocking him on his ass.

When was the horse-collar tackle deemed illegal, cause I saw at least three of them, BLATANTLY not called...
TacoHumanoid 2 years ago
They were blatantly not called because the horse-caller tackle was not banned in college football until the 2008 season.
