[AggieJohn]

rice vs. navy

fca game

[sahen]

U of H vs. La. Tech back in the mid 90s at the dome.....U of H beat La. Tech 70-3 or something like that, Donald Douglas (Liberty grad) was a wide out/ kick returner for the Coogs....i didnt see another one til i came to Baylor 3 years ago....

[CheerMom]

A & M vs. SMU in 1981. This was the game where the Corp member pulled his saber on the SMU cheerleader. Happened right in front of me. I will never forget that game!!

that is a pretty cool game to be your first!

[Adidas410s]

Baylor vs ...i think it was Tech but I'm not too sure. It was back around 92 or 93. I remember 2 things...1) it poured rain ALL day long and 2) I left my Arizona State hat at the stadium and they wouldn't turn around to go get it for me! :(

[Adidas410s]

The first one that I really remember (as far as big time games) was A&M vs Tech a few years ago. This is the infamous one where A&M is up 28 in the 4th...Kingsbury leads Tech back...A&M misses not one but TWO XP's to lose this game 48-47. On a side note my girlfriend passed out in the concession line in the 2nd quarter and the help (and free lunch)that I got from people in line (as well as 1st aid staff) totally changed my opinion of A&M and they are now a school that I really like a lot...except whenever I can watch Texas BTHO A&M :D :D

[bulldogbark]

mine was the Romans against the Spartens at Thealoplise....Romans 40 , Greeks 10....ok im kinda old:)

[Ranger Mom]

Texas Tech vs. Somebody......actually my ONLY college game.

The main thing I remember was I had to go to the bathroom SO bad and the line to get in there was longer than a Six Flags ride.

In fact, that was my me and my husband's first date!:D

[LHMom]

I went to a game of SMU & ?? (can't remember) in 1980, or 81. Craig James & Eric Dickerson were on the team. My second college game was the 1983 TX-OU game. BIG FUN!!! Texas won!

[Bullaholic]

1957 Cotton Bowl--- TCU vs Syracuse (Jim Brown was playing for Syracuse).

[MontyPython]

Stephen F Austin vs Nichols State

[shellman54]

My first one will be October 1st, A&M vs Baylor

[gobbler grad]

[GreenGobbla]

[Leopards,class of 75]

Texas vrs. S.M.U.....1977 I think, But Earl Cambell had his second most career yards on a rainy day.

[CenTexSports]

1963 Cotton Bowl when I was 9.

[lostaussie]

that was a few years before their death penealty

[Ranger05]

Texas Tech vs. Missouri Brad Smith's Freshmen year

[LogieJoeBean001]

Several college games when the Cottonbowl was the Cottonbowl in the good 'ole SWC days. My high school band performed during pre-game and at half-time several years. I do remember one in particular when we actually marched in the Cottonbowl parade, it was -8 degrees that morning. One kid from Longview actually was dumb enough to lick his lips before putting his trumpet to his mouth and he got stuck to it!

The crowd along the streets were wonderful! During commercial breaks, they would come off the sidewalks and give our twirlers their blankets to cover up with. (Back when bands had twirlers) Joe Montana was qb'ing that year. Little did I know what a superstar he'd eventually become.

[turbostud]

Texas vs. OU I think it was 1986.

Anyone remember the Boz.

[VWG]

TCU vs. SMU in Texas Stadium. The old Pony Express days.

[pantherpop]

It was last night SFA beat Western Illinois 63-36. Came up here to visit one of my sons, this is his first year of college, and my wife and me took him, his girlfriend, and our youngest son to the game. It was lots of fun but as the announcer said before kickoff it was a comfortable 98 degrees. Beautiful field and a really nice stadium. I noticed three Dayton kids on the roster that I knew of.

[hubbardjack]

Rice @ Baylor back in like 92 or 93

My favorite was Oklahoma State at Texas in 2002, when it was like 17-15

[LH Panther Mom]

I haven't got a clue the year or opponent. I do know it would've been Tech, around 1971 or 1972.

[mustang04]

OU @ A&M when OU was number 1 and A&M put Reggie McNeal in for the first time, i think it was like 2002, and A&M WON!!....was friggin awesome:):D

[Pmoney]

Texas@Texas Tech....o ya Texas won!:D

[crabman]

I was at that game too.

I don't remember who A&M played at my first game but Kyle field was under construction. They occupied part of the partially completed upper deck. They kept people one section from the incomplete part. Pretty wierd. Looked like you could just fall off the end.

[Matthew328]

TCU vs Rice during LT's senior year!! I guess I did make a JUCO game before that....does that one count??

[rhs78]

In 68 or 69 Texas vs Arkansas at Austin. I can still remember the Arkansas side yelling SOOOY PIG all day long and they had a lot of fans there.

[BTEXDAD]

1975, Texas @A&M. A&M won 20-10. First time they had beaten UT since 1967.
Earl campbell was soph for UT, Marty Akins QB.
Ed Simonini was linebacker for a great A&M defense. Plano's Pat Thomas who starred for many years with Rams was cornerback.
A&M was unbeaten, and had shot at national title till they got hammered by Arkansas in last reg season game in early December. Then got beat by USC in I think it was the Liberty Bowl.

[Bull's-eye]

Texas vs Rice in the late 70's. Johnnie "Lam" Jones caught a long pass for a TD.

[PhiI C]

Texas vs Arkansas in 1966. I had a good friend who had something come up so his brother and father invited me to go with them. This was my senior year in high school and they knew I was a UT fan. This was a year when both teams had an off year which was rare in the 60s. Arkansas won 12 to 7. Both teams were fumbling the ball back and forth and missed scoring chances in a sloppy game but it was still a thrill to be at a big time game that was televised.

[AggieJohn]

great thread guys, keep it going!!

[big daddy russ]

TAMU @ Tech when I was in seventh grade... 1991 maybe? I was heartbroken when we (I used to be a Tech fan) got stomped by one of the top 10 teams in the country.

Univ. of Tenn. vs Texas Tech at Neyland Stadium, 1997 i think it was?? I became an instant Peyton Manning fan.

[RiverRat19]

Mine too! Fall of '91 televised on ESPN, first Thurs nite game of the year! We had a great time flinging tortillas at the OU bench while Tech got beat down 31-9 if I remember right.

[MARLINDOGS]

Mine was Kilgore v/s Tyler.:( Big game Huh.:D

[neck_06]

Texas A&M vs. Oklahoma @ Kyle Field, the aggies almost beat them, lost by about 6

[tc8232]

mine was tcu vs texas a&m back when the good ole soutwest conference was alive. i cant remember what year. but texas a&m blew the doors off of the horned frogs, something like 60-10 all i can remember it was on november 21st but cant remember what year... early 90's though

That would have been the 1968 game because in 1969 it was at Arkansas where they had the famous shoot out.

[pirate44]

im not positive, but im sure it was a UT game in the seventies

[cdlvj]

Sept 30 1967
Texas lost to Texas Tech 19-13

Much heralded QB Bill Bradley was starter, and few weeks later duties move to James Street.

[Phil C]

I think it was 1968 when Texas finally moved Street to quarterback. Bill Bradley was quarterback at UT in 1967. He threw an insterception to Freer's Buster Adamie who was playing for the Aggies that year and enabled the Aggies to beat UT 10 to 7. When Street took over at QB Bradley was tried at end and later at defensive back where he belonged. Bill Bradley was a great football player but his position should have been defensive halfback instead of quarterback. He had a great pro career at Philadelphia as a defensive halfback.

I think the Texas Bill Bradley played with the New York Knicks, and then was elected to the US Senate.

NOT, yes it is the same guy at Baylor.

[BMOC]

Got lucky, mine was OU vs. Nebraska 1987. What a RUSH!!!

[CHS_Grad '85]

that's cool AJ. My older brother played in that game for the Diggers and I had a scholarship to Rocky... that was all back when in the days when Alley Oop was the coach... oh, I forgot you kids probably don't know who Alley Oop was :D

The Bill Bradley that played for Texas is at Baylor. He is not the famous Knicks basketball player. The one that played for the New York Knicks (who was a great player) is a US Senator but he was born in Missouri and played basketball for Princeton University.

[AggieBob]

2002 Tech vs A&M. the day i decided i wanted to be an Aggie. That student section was amazing and i had a blast despite the loss. at the time i was rooting for both teams, had a tech hat and an A&M shirt
