I keep trying to forget this score, but it keeps getting brought back.

Never Forget - let's kill Coog High!

More recent memory, hoping for a 72-42 Coogs win with "only" nine UH turnovers.

Some things you never forget. I'm always ponied up and take it personal when UH is the opponent. I hope we hang 100 tomorrow. GO PONIES

I was at this game and it literally made me sick to my stomach to watch them run it up like this against a bunch of walk ons.

Then we should just put up a staunch defense and win 34-0.

Houston Coach Jack Pardee actually seemed to try to keep the score down. He pulled Ware at the half, pulled his first-string defense in the first quarter and used three walk-on receivers.

Pardee also let the clock run out when the Cougars had the ball on SMU's 17. Mustang Coach Forrest Gregg was not amused.

Oddsmakers established Houston as a 58 1/2-point favorite, which is spreading it a little thick. Pardee said there wasn't anything more he could have done to keep the score down.

Here's what I heard:
"Our coaches went to their coaches in the booth and said, `Back those guys off the line of scrimmage. Let us throw some out-passes,` " Pardee said. Houston`s run-and-shoot offense is designed to react to the defense. If the defensive backs press, the receivers are taught to change their patterns from short sideline routes to deep routes. Pardee said SMU runs the same kind of offense, so their coaches knew exactly what the Houston coaches were talking about.

SMU and Gregg loaded the box and challenged Houston to pass and ran the R&S so they knew what was coming. This game and Notre Dame's running out of bounds may have brought in a new era of sportsmanship, like 77-0 OU over A&M but no scoring in the fourth quarter. Today, only Mike Leach would run it up like that. Everyone else would go to a walk on and third string crew I guess. Just play all out for 2-3 quarters.

I am sorry but I was at the game and the game ended with Houston throwing into the end zone trying to score to get to 100 points. Yep, Ware was replaced with David Klingler who I believe actually threw for more yards than Ware did. it was 59-17 at the half

[redpony]

Pardee and Jenkins were both scum bag coaches. At least one of them is burning in hell.

Never forget and never stop getting revenge.

[tristatecoog]

I was there cheering for 100 points and 1000 yards, and it's funny how things come around. We had a last second throw for a TD against Illinois at home in 1990 and then got shellacked by them on the road the next year, Mackovic's last year at U of I.

The notoriety from the SMU game probably played a significant role in Ware getting the Heisman. It was a close vote and we weren't on TV that year.

I was at that game as well. Don't forget the running in fresh wide receivers, running long pass patterns, play after play against the same defensive backs. If you want to justify the game by saying SMU deserved it for all they did, fine, but don't try to justify away the effort on UH to embarrass the SMU team. BS bush league on the part of UH. Glad we had a few chances, over the years, to get revenge, let's continue that revenge today. Go Mustangs!

Your memory is poor then. I was there too. But if you don't believe my memory, maybe the LA Times http://articles.latimes.com/1989-10-22/sports/sp-1005_1_houston-touchdown is good enough for you. "Pardee also let the clock run out when the Cougars had the ball on SMU's 17." I know we took a knee 3 times inside the 20. I also believe our other plays on that drive were running plays. I know Kimble Anders had at least 1 rush over 10 yards on that drive.

And you're wrong again about Klingler in the 2nd half. Ware threw for 517 yards in the 1st half. I haven't been able to figure out exactly how many yards he threw for, but since the total yardage was 1021, that alone makes it impossible to have more yards. And considering Weatherspoon had 209 yards rushing, the max yards Klingler could throw would be 295. But I also know Kimble Anders had at least 40 yards rushing. So Klingler couldn't have had more than 250 yards passing, half of Ware's amount.

I did find that Klingler threw 20 passes in the game. That's half as many passes as Ware threw in the first half.

And for anyone who wanted UH to run more, Weatherspoon had 209 yards rushing on 15 carries for with 3 TDs. He actually had more TDs and yards per carry than Ware had TDs and yards per pass attempt.

Be POed if you want, but know the facts. Otherwise you sound like you're POed about something that didn't happen.

Congrats on the win today NTXCoog. You guys are a lot better than your record

[SMU 86]

Congrats Coogs.

Running fresh WRs? I know that Gregg said that, but I find that statement hilarious. We had 5 WRs out with injuries by the end of that game. Our only backup RB (Kimble Anders) played WR for most of the game. The only fresh WRs coming in were walkons that did not play in any other game.
