No, we didnt. The game with Houston was our only Mirage Bowl. The Notre Dame game was the Aloha Bowl. When we came back from the DP they talked about having us back, but negotiations fell through. Houston did play in 2 Mirage Bowls, once against us, and once against Arizona State. Notre Dame played in the Mirage Bowl once, but it was against Miami, not us.
It's funny that the article had an interview with Cornelius Dozier, he sat next to me on the flight over in '84. He leaned over and fell asleep on my shoulder, and I couldnt wake him up. That was a very uncomfortable 6 hours.
