After coming from 14 points down in the 4th quarter to beat #2 Arkansas, President Nixon visits the Longhorn dressing room to declare them National Champions.
@hooperX101 and don't forget, James "Slick" Street, the Longhorns' starting quarterback, was an ineligible player for this game. He had dropped all his courses in October 1969 due to the pressure he was under. No wonder the Southwest Conference disintegrated after many succeeding scandals!
Joe Kuharich got five years? Really? What about Hugh Devore? How many did Bob Davie get after he signed a contract extension? One! Terry Brennan, a former ND All-American, got canned on Christmas Eve.
I think Weis was a lousy head coach but he was a FAR better recruiter than Willingham. Again, how many other D1 powerhouses have even hired a black coach?
Ariama, what are you talking about? ND had black players, including captains, before MANY of their D1 football counterparts. And, as for Mr. Ty, are you saying ND is racist for firing a mediocre coach who was a lousy recruiter? I guess you feel the same way about Washington, too, since they fired Ty after 3 years? At least ND hired a black head coach. How many D1 football schools have - especially the historical powerhouse programs? So easy to play the race card without critical thinking.
Great scene! College football is great!

@pressmymenu
only way texas wins is by using the old texas refs
just like they did against ark in the Old SWC by clipping the shit out of our defense on the last run of the game

Hail Charlie Weiss or Gerry Faust? Oh yeah, Joe Kuharich. huh. They got five years due to N.D. B.S. principle. Ty only got three years.
