First of all, LOL at A&M's White Helmets!

Secondly, in case anybody is wondering, A&M ended up finishing 8-4 (6-2 in Southwest Conference play, finishing 3rd behind Arkansas and Texas), losing 47-28 to Southern Cal in the old Houston Bluebonnet Bowl, the second time in three years that the Trojans had blown out the Aggies in a bowl game.

Oh, and BTW, RIP Emory Bellard. The inventor of the wishbone offense and the coach of A&M in this game. He would leave for Miss. State after this season.

I was there. at one point in the 4th Qtr we all just spontaneously stood on our feet - I don't think that there had been a big play or anything, just in response to the total domination we were seeing - and roared.

Hey what does wolfman man mean

[WolverineHistorian]

Bo had police escorts at away games (especially in Columbus) but I guess the school figured he didn't need them for home games back then.

[oldredbarnman]

And don't you just love watching him run across the field afterward, with no police escort? Won't see that today.....

barefooted kicker...classic

[markusr2001]

No names on the blue home jerseys and helmet awards. Classic.

The Michigan helmets look awesome in 1977.
