I was there in '83 to watch Texas whip Auburn on the road. They had such high expectations coming into the season and i can still remember how stunned they were when we whipped them. That was their only loss that season and they wound up jumping us in the final AP Poll.

I was at that game also. Hottest game I ever attended. Had 50 yard line seats behind Texas bench. By that I mean right behind - like row 3 or so. Almost felt like yelling at the Texas players to sit down so I could see. Still mad about how that season ended. Number 1 and 2 lose and number 5 jumps everyone. Nebraska was very overhyped and it finally showed.

Game was played in under 3 hours.  Way under.  Oh for the day.

I had to fight my way out the stadium after the game. We exited to the field and a friend of mine had a beer tossed on him from the stands as we were walking behind the hedges. He went up into the stands after the asshat that tossed it. I wound up getting immediately dog piled by what seemed to be half of the section. I was getting the crap beat out of me, but had one arm free and a clean shot, so I just kept pounding skulls with my cowbell. Some older Texas fan was trying to pull me out from under the pile as he was desperately screaming in a high pitch, "Come on Texas, we're outnumbered!" God bless him because he left and returned with an Auburn police officer. They escorted us to the edge of campus and gave us about a 30-second head start. We outran the mob to our car.

Good times.
