[GreenFlag]

For all you '88 still burns guys. At least the fans felt dirty about it.

I've always felt like they pay off the refs, and last night was no different. That 163 million athletic budget is well spent, and I'm not referring to the coaching staff.

It really sucked for those with Iowa State and the money line...

So you're saying they're a bunch of filthy horns?

[emmitt01]

It was VERY CLEAR that UT wan't going to be allowed to lose.

[greenminer]

Watched it happen too many times. When tu needs a call, they get it. Clearly a fumble. Call goes for tu.

UT apparently has won the dirty player [ MIKE DAVIS ] of the year award also. Cheap shot... on news today even.

I believe UT had scored... play was basically over... pointless.

I'd rather have the W than their guilt.

You meant whorns, didn't you?

What was that, 5 pass interference calls against Iowa State? I just knew UT would find a way to be allowed to score on that last drive.

Very few remember this, which is why it's so memorable to those of us who were there a d saw it.. But we weren't Kansas, or Nebraska or Iowa State with Big 12 money and all that comes with it. We were 1-AA and a very poorly funded 1-AA program at that with 20 fewer ships.

And to their credit,.. as much as I hate to admit it,.. the longhorn fans were class acts in their behavior afterwards towards us in that nearly everyone you met admitted we got jobbed and they were given a gift. Then three TV news casts basically said the same thing that night.

Trust me... our game was much much worse in the bad reffing department.

I was sitting in the north end zone and witnessed the play in question firsthand. When you consider the money that a win there could had generated for our program, what happened that night was criminal. The ref was right there, and that wasn't the only ridiculous call in that game.

Mike Davis...the new Cobra Kai.

The immediate effect would have been that we would have lost a lot of money in future games with UT....which wouldn't have happened any more. They would have kicked us to the curb just like the other UT did when we beat them.

Now, as to the implication that the win would have created a groundswell of previously unconnected NT alumni to come flooding into the athletic department to make big contributions. Let me remind you how that scenario has played out for us with four bowl trips, a new state of the art stadium, and a new, more semi-respected conference affiliation.

There's a difference?

Maybe Iowa State will come to their senses like Arkansas, Colorado, Missouri, Nebraska, and Texas A&M did. I am surprised that Oklahoma never bolted, but they seem to like being super glued to the Whorns.
