the two of us in my avatar were standing right there....could NOT believe the ball being hiked to the 30 yd line...still, a BITTER game...I remember saying to my partner, "get the baseball bats out, let's settle this!!!"
Years later, I'm selling anesthesia machines and living in Tulsa.....on the Friday before the game I was calling on the hospital in Durant. I was waiting in the lobby for my appointment and talking to the nice candy-stripper lady and I told her I was headed to Dallas for THE Game. I told her I had been cheerleader at UT 74-76...she said, "those were the years my son played for o.u., you might remember the CENTER that hiked the ball over everyone's head???...well, that's my son!"....
...small world.
FYI---HUGE MOMENT in LONGHORN HISTORY....!!!!
It was during THIS game that the RIVALRY hit it's ZENITH....Switzer (Anti-Christ) was spying, DKR caught them! Students started "o.u. SUCKS, o.u. SUCKS...." in the warm-ups....it was deafening as o.u. took the field....
By the end of THIS game, "o.u. SUCKS!!!" was FOREVER placed in the fight song....and to this day....
