My favorite has to be my senior year in Memorial Stadium where A&M had never ever beaten the sips. But that day was different. We did have several memorable players and coach that helped.

1956.

1967, 10-7 Harget hit Bob Long with a long pass that won the game. one great defensive battle.

Not sure of the date, I think is was early '70s, as the t.u. band was entering the field, the Red Pots released a bunch of armadillos loose on the field. They had caught these while cutting for the Bonfire. I worked with a tsip who was in that band and he remembered it well.

the funny thing about that is during the early 70's there were a lot of hippies in Austin who wanted to change the tu mascot from the bull to the armadillo (more peaceful creature, to protest the war in Vietnam)
so, yes, we were poking fun at the "Hookem Hippies" movement

1984. My senior year in the corps. I scalp tickets after the game starts. End up sitting on the 40 yard line of the tu alumni. In full uniform I listen to their fans boo as the hand the ball off and gain 6 yards a pop. They wanted Akers fired. Our defense and offense ended up blowing them out I think 37-12. Pure joy.

After the game I wandered lost in my senior boots asking for directions. Believe it or not their fans weren't helpful.
