You know 94, I still haven't recovered from Dooby's Kathy Bates avatar and now yours. I think I tasted my lunch again.

RGV, I was thinking about the UTEP road trip today, man those bleachers were cold! I can't wait for some more road trips, and some wins!

Fear the Truth, and the June Jones Air Force! :twisted:

I was thinking about that place a couple of weeks ago. Drove by Sun Devil Stadium in Tempe. Much like El Sun Bowl, they shoehorned that place into an open space between mountains. Much like our trip to El Paso, that week was much colder than I planned on.

Many of you who were there will remember how cold and wet the Cotton Bowl was on the day we beat Dan Marino and Pitt. It was windy and there was sleet and rain pelting down on us. We got soaked in the upper deck. Anyway, there was a young guy with his wife and baby sitting in front of us. The child was probably 3 or 4 months old. At halftime, Mom said that she couldn't take the weather anymore and headed for the car. Dad insisted that the baby stay with him. He wanted the child to be able to say that he was there when SMU won the Cotton Bowl. I guess the kid is 25 or 26 now. Wonder what ever happened to him? Hope he will see SMU win a major bowl again in his lifetime.

That is the single most depressing post I've ever read.

I have been to SMU games my whole life. Starting in the early 90's. As a little kid i remember when Flannigan got hurt against Arkansas on the first play, Beating houston 41-16, watching us almost beat UCLA on tv and watching us play Wisconsin at Ownby! (I was like 5-9 during all this) .

Anyway, I go to 2 or 3 SMU games a year and I can honestly say I have not been to a game we won in this Century. I was at Sam Houston and Texas state but that does not count. Anyway. Maybe I shoud stop going to all the games against Tech, Houston, A & M and TCU..

And the one TCU game I missed was the one my blog name is named after. I did however go to College Station the next week to see us get beat 66-8. Our only big play that game was a huge run (was it by D Mart?) but I missed that too since i was in the bathroom !

So, after a lifetime of watching my team get beat, I just might get to go see SMU in a bowl game sometime within the next 3 years!

Depressing is that he was a little kid in the 90's. I will be close to my 90's when he "becomes a man".
