Remember that time we got into a shootout with BYU at NRG?

We were on a hot 5-0 start and thought we had a shot at the Fiesta Bowl.

No because I was in high school, but I do remember waiting in the hot pavement for hours to get tickets for the OU game

It was well worth it

Last play we got picked off lol

JOK had that Hail Mary TD pass the following year at BYU

That was the first game I’d describe as a “fun loss.”

No joke, I haven’t spoken to my BIL since that game. He got mad I was going to be late to his birthday party dinner because I wouldn’t leave early. Went from talking every day, to not since.

Still one of the most entertaining games ever.

Sophomore year, I was so excited to finally see us ranked for the first time as a student. I was sure if we won that game they had to rank us, unfortunately never got to find out. Still was such a fun game to watch.

Senior year was worth the wait, though!

Your BIL sounds like someone I’m happy not to know.

That’s a real shame.

I’m going to be late to my BIL’s next bday now though. He is a UCF grad anyway

It’s a strange deal. My cousin in law (his actual cousin) was at the game with me. They haven’t spoken either.

I guess he cried. I also guess he doesn’t like football.

That was a heck of a game. UH had an offense that let us compete against teams with bigger and heavier players.

Good gravy, those red unis were ugly. I never really saw them on TV, so I didn’t get that atrocious overhead view. I always thought they were underrated, and I was dead wrong.

Doug Meacham offense. Got him the ok state or TCU gig.

I was in Kabul at the time.

If the shoulders were candy stripes like the Tony Ditta picture, they would have been beautiful

O’Korn threw a pick to start the game and threw and pick to end the game

Okorn looked great compared…

I got married during this game. For obvious reasons I didn’t get to watch live, but snuck off and checked the score a bunch during the reception.
