Those were heartbreakers allright. But do you remember the Ole Miss game in the Cotton Bowl. We had them down by 3 touchdowns at least in the 2nd half and let them come back to beat us. How can that happen?

That TCU game was a total shock. I know I for one was pretty dang certain we were gonna beat an 0-fer Froggie team.
I was pretty dang sure we were gonna lose. That was a fun win though, esp since it was against you guys, and it was the last game of the year, so we it came at the perfect time for sunshiny thoughts about the next year. Which came true, in that we beat USC in the Sun Bowl that next year.
Here's to your 1 win season producing similar results in the following year.

Yeah, we were up 41-22 with 10 minutes left before Romaro Miller started slinging the ball all over the place. A bunch of my friends from Mississippi were in town for the game and they'd all left the Cotton Bowl before Ole Miss started making their comeback. Thank God...I couldn't have handled sitting with them through that. It was bad enough having to face them afterwards, though...that Ole Miss game was my most heartbreaking game on a personal level.
The TCU game is a close second, though. I was a freshman that year and remember how it seemed like half the school drove over to Ft Worth to watch the game that was going to send us to a bowl for the first time in many years...such a disappointment.
