  1. It was the 82 cotton bowl (81 season) and I don't know if I'd call a come from behind 14-12 victory a whipping, but I'll take it. Fun fact most announcers of Baylor Texas games hardly ever mentioned- the winning touchdown was scored by a guy whose son was not offered by UT.
  2. Girlfriends. That puts him easily in the top 1% around here.
  3. One thing I remember about that game is White caught a pass completely in the clear, nobody within 10 yards of him. I jump for joy and do celebratory laps around my girlfriend's tiny apartment for what seemed like 15 seconds, come back into view of the TV assuming he scored but he's still running and gets dragged down. He may have been fast in high school but I swear it looked like a 5.4 40 that day.
  4. To be fair Akers was playing for a national championship in his 7th year, but once the freedom bowl happened the next year he had a very short leash. I think the reason for the disparity in fan vitriol between the 2 is because in 1986 we had pretty much kicked ass the previous 30 years so fans weren't used to losing. Turtle had the benefit of lazy years Mack and strong.
  5. If Simmons somehow meets his goal and breaks the single season sack record of 22.5, I'll be thoroughly impressed. Though I'm still not sure how Kiki did that playing in the early 80s SWC. Unless they counted a tackle for loss of the QB on an option play as a sack.
  6. Outsiders think it is all about talent, which Texas always had.
  7. An extra 5 or 10 yards of lebensraum can be all the difference in a close game.
  8. Story I heard about a journeyman NHL player that played against Gretzky. Fight breaks out and when that happens everyone just grabs the closest opposing player to keep them out of it. He grabs Gretzky who looks at him and says "get your hands off of me you fucking plumber."
  9. I did not have Elton John liking the smell of vagina on my bingo card.
  10. Yeah, Switzer was just innocently hanging out at a track meet when he found himself seated behind an oil company exec who was also a huge OU booster. Unbeknownst to this booster, the head football coach was right behind him and overheard everything booster told his wife about the upcoming events that would move the market. What are the odds?
  11. You deserve to get treated like Mrs Lacewell good and hard if you're dumb enough to trust Switzer. He was also the defendant in a landmark SEC (exchange not conference) insider trading case.
