How can we be this close to the SMU game with no mention of the Safeway Bowl????

Man, if that doesn’t hype you up for the SMU  game then you gots problems!

SIDE NOTE:  30 minutes before kickoff the stadium manager told me that they could not get the lights to come on at Fouts Field.  Luckily, they finally came on...I've always wondered what would have happened if we could not get the lights to come on.  It was a locally televised game, too.  Would we have had to forfeit?  Who knows?

Got to change the SMU momentum....If you go back to 1990, they only have us 5 to 3

Love that image, JRock.  It really makes me laugh.

I'm in the dead center of that mass of flying helmets and fists, and just as I was about to get laid out.......NT and Pittsburgh Super Bowl running back Eric Pegram saved my ass.

At that time we used to pack Boomer with several wads of newspaper to increase the concussion..( yes, Boomer can be much louder if you can believe that?).  And every now and then a wad of the paper, sometimes still burning would fly out onto the turf and we would have to run and get it before it started melting the turf.  

So on that play just as luck would have it,....we fired the cannon as time ticked off after the blocked FG attempt and a piece of wadding shot way out past the corner of the endzone.  So I ran after it.  Stupid me....I wasn't paying good attention to what was going on on the field and when I looked up from picking up the paper here came a mass of bodies....and the fight was on!  Everyone was  punching and shoving and swinging helmets.  When I saw the helmets I tried staying low but me and one of smu's coaches got into it a little, we were shoving each other back and forth yelling when all of a sudden something grabbed me and spun me around and it was an smu lineman and he was reared back and about to let me have it when out of nowhere Eric split between the two of us, grabbed the guy and threw him down like a child.  it was something else and I'll never forget it and have told Eric more than once thank you for that.

BTW......turn your volume up on that video.  Odds are you never heard a louder crowd at Fouts.  It was the second ever sell out and was WAY over capacity.  Lots of students were made to leave or move for sitting in the aisles due to a lack of standing room.

A fantastic night for the Mean Green.
