I was at that 1964 Cotton Bowl also.  My brother was home for the Christmas break of his plebe year at USNA. He had secured four tickets in the south end zone and he and I (a junior in high school) double dated to the game.

He seemed very sure that Staubach and company would prevail, but me and my date had the last laugh.  I came down to Austin for school in September of '65, but my date ended up at SMU.  We both ended up meeting our spouses at college.

It would be nice to have kept my ticket, but it would probably have been lost in a flood several years ago with many other mementos.

Texas beat Notre Dame (with Joe Theismann at QB) in the 1970 Cotton Bowl. We defeated Staubach & Navy in the 1964 Cotton Bowl.

Unpossible, fake news.  All-male military academies could not hope to be competitive in that era of college football.  It is known.

Media members not the only spectators

Del Conte wasn't the only notable visitor to Tuesday's practice. As he often is, Ted Koy was also at Denius Field.

Koy attends nearly every UT practice so to see him walking the sidelines and observing drills wasn't a surprise. A co-captain on UT's 1969 national championship team, Koy's 1,397 rushing yards from 1967-69 currently rank 37th on the school's all-time rushing chart. Koy was inducted in the Texas Hall of Honor in 1995.
