Funniest moment in Ford Stadium history. Didn't he get down in 3 or 4 point stance before everyone noticed him. I was on the East side then, and it was funny watching him come off the field with two extremely p'o'ed cops applying a headlock to him and ripping the helmet off his head - he was still laughing the whole time.

How much was the bet?

Also happened my freshman year... i remember dying laughing when that happened. I wonder if the athletics department could dig up a picture of that play?

Before the event all I thought I would remember from that game was the cold, wet, drizzly atmosphere.

The streaker-ref at the UCLA game last night made me think of this again.

My question of the night is which player on Nevada left his helmet unaccounted for?

Sad thing is you were probably the third or fourth best athlete on the field for either team.

Didn't we win that game to end an extremely long losing streak?

I think that was the game in which Alvin NN........... returned 2 fumbles for TDs. Only home game I have missed in many years due to my father being on his death bed.

We broke the streak against SJSU. If Nevada helmet dude, and tearing down goal posts/knock kid out happened in the same game that would be the best game ever.

Here's my recollection from an old post:

SMUer wrote:I remember when a SMU fan jumped out of the stands at Ford, stole a Nevada helmet (that some player had put down and walked away from) and ran onto the field to "help" Nevada's defense slow down a 28 pt 3rd quarter Mustang onslought back when we both were in the WAC. Jared Romo had no idea what to do and stood there stunned until they guy was thrown out by security, but still one of the funniest SMU football moments I've experienced.

The other funny thing that happened that game was that the head coach (I believe Chris Ault-CF HoFer) was yelling at his offense to execute the "toss pass"--which was a play that we'd never heard of/found amusing and so we began imploring their offense to execute the "toss pass" too. We were so loud and interruptive during their huddles that their head coach finally got [deleted] and kindly asked "DO YOU GUYS EVEN KNOW WHAT THE F*CKING TOSS PASS IS!?!" We admitted we had no idea and asked him to show us. That was pretty funny too.
