The 63 and 69 Longhorn NC teams, but I don’t remember going to any of those games. TV and radio only. I do remember my parents taking me out to the (old, tiny) Austin airport to welcome the 63 team home from the Cotton Bowl, the de facto national championship game. Now 1977 was my sophomore year at UT and first year in Longhorn Band. I got to see ALL those games in person. Earl was running roughshod over defenses and McEachern came in as the third string QB after OU took out the two in front of him. We continued to win leading to another trip to the Cotton Bowl … where we lost to f’ing Notre Dame. I will always hate Joe Montana.

Love it!
I gotta go with the Red Raiders 2008 Crabtree game, your mother went outside near the end of the game which obviously influenced the outcome!
Great piece T,
