    I just watched a great video, about the Bonehead Bowl. You guys heard of this? 1983, Cal at A&M, Cal kicks a 25-yd FG to go ahead 20-17 with about one minute to go, but A&M runs into the kicker-- it's unclear because you can't see it and the Aggie announcers are fuckwits who can't even tell if the FG is good. Anyway, Cal for some inexplicable reason takes the go-ahead score off the board in order to try to convert the 4th down. 

    Seriously. Instead of leading 20-17 with one minute to go, they try for a TD. And they don't get it, so A&M takes over inside its 5 yard line. Of course, it's clear the Aggies want to take the tie,  so they're just going to run some dive type plays, but on their second play they run a slow-developing toss sweep and Cal snuffs it for a game-winning safety. 

    hahaha

    The headline of that game the next day had to be "Dumb and Dumber".

    C'mon, Rich Rod is such an upstanding human being...

    Some of the juicy facts that accompanied his firing at Arizona detailed his juggling of numerous extramarital affairs.

    For example, he invited his then-mistress to the sideline of an Arizona home game, knowing that both, his wife Rita as well as his daughter, an Arizona pom girl, would be down there as well. In order to avoid any tension or fight between Rita and his mistress, he ordered his female assistant, whom he also had an ongoing affair with, to stand between the two women throughout the game and keep them separate.

    That guy is one hell of a scumbag.

    How did he have time to coach?  I guess that explains his record this year.

    Wait, the capacity for that stadium is 100k. How in the hell did UT and OU not sell that place out for that game?

    The stadium officially only has 80,000 permanent seats.  I don't know why ESPN has the official capacity at 100,000 except for the time Jerry built temp seats all over the place to beat the Super Bowl record. We all know how that turned out.

     

    And Yes Cowboy Stadium is not a good college venue.  Too expensive and too sterile.

  4. I don't know how we did it, but we won again with a 3rd team QB.  OSU is one strange team.  Should have massacred us, but they took too long to get going.  I guess we go to the Liberty Bowl or Cheeze-It Bowl.
