30 years ago today, we were hearing about the epic performance in Tokyo, Japan

and from 30 years ago today, before the Heisman Trophy was awarded to BYU QB Ty Detmer, Houston Cougars QB David Klingler was interviewed briefly live from Tokyo, Japan.

Klinger outperformed Detmer that year, but there was no way they were going to give the Heisman to a Houston QB two years in a row.

Great observation!

I wonder how many Houston fans made that epic road trip to Tokyo 30 years ago.

My dad and two little sisters made the trip to The Mirage Bowl…I was working, couldn’t get away. But my dad brought home my Seiko Divemaster watch, which I still wear every day.

That and when he threw for 11 TD’s against Eastern Washington, it soured a lot of writers on UH for running up the score. Only blue bloods like OSU, Bama, OU, etc are allowed to do that and not get burned
