There are a lot of old games, including that Oregon St game that would be awesome to watch again.

The ‘98 schedule might give it a run for its money?

Wow!  Wonder how this years team would do against that line up?   Some pretty big names up there.

Lots of memories from that season but here's a few-

-Couple more breaks and that team wins 2-3 more games. The UAB loss was pretty crushing at the time

-The win over ISU went long and I was an hour late to my college job at the time. When my boss asked me if it would be worth it to get fired over a football game, he was shocked when I said "Yes."

-We were down 10-7 at Bama at halftime and their TD came from a pick six. That stadium was nervous.

-If I remember right we drove down the field at Nevada to take a 7-0 lead then gave up about forty straight points. I got into it with some drunk Wolfpack fans and they escorted me out for my own safety although quite a few Pack fans apologized for their fellow a-holes.

-After UNLV we thought Gulley was going to be our QB savior for the next few years. Then he bailed and played tight end at USM

-Every game was on local TV. About the only good thing that Helwig did during his tenure. 

-Quite a few players on that team were instrumental in the victory over Tech two years later.
