That was a great opening win over UCLA by Case and the Coogs in 2011.

My wife and I attended the 1988 game at Fair Park Stadium in Shreveport.
It was beyond embarrassing.

One of the surprising best game I went to was in Ruskin, LA against La. Tech. We were down big on a hot Saturday night. Big bugs were flying everywhere in the stadium lights. Cougar fans were starting to leave in 3rd quarter when Tech fans started taunting Case with over rated. Case lit them up in the fourth quarter for the win.

I was leaving the library for the parking lot, we were down I believe by over 20, Reached my car, turned the radio dial to AM 950. For a minute there , kept asking myself what the screaming was all about; we had lost the game.
Case and Co had a knack for the dramatic.
I was living in an apartment off Stella Link and 610. Needed to do some work on my vehicle so I skipped the game that day. I did turn in the radio for the kickoff and someone ran the opening kickoff back to a touch. Announcer said 6 seconds came off the clock. About 3 hours later, I finished up and went back to my radio. There was a final touchdown and the score was 100 to very little. Dad gum, I wish I had gone to the game.
I was there. Singletary was hitting. Hodge also.

We got a score at the end of the 3rd, and another to start the 4th, they went into stall, run clock mode and we stuffed them, they tried a few passed that went incomplete and stopped the clock. That was all Case needed, you could feel the momentum swing. They even played “Everyday I’m Hustlin” and our guys went wild. I listened to talk radio coming home and they wanted Sonny Dykes out. He ended up going to SMU.
