Horns247 Board

Good writing there Dave. I think you captured the moment really well.

I really would've thought that Case would win some folks over with what he did in that game, but I guess some players are just destined not to be fan favorites.

He'll always be a hero for bringing the W home and making aggy cry. But, other than the one run he was mediocre at best...makes it more sweet...aggy couldn't beat us even with our pitiful offense and their golden boy with the rocket arm at the helm....good bye indeed aggy.

Bevo, that is one of the most accurate observations ever made on this board. Chris Simms could not have won the fans over short of having a Vince Young game for the national championship-with Ut winning. Fans have never accepted the fact that Major was hurt to the degree that he had only a few games left in him. I remain friends with the doctors and physical therapist who were treating Major and saw first hand the agony he was truly in [my wife was part of the medical team at the SHC]. We kept our mouths shut about it because Mack and Major asks everyone to. Major's efforts in those few games ranks up with Emmitt Smith's runs with a dislocated shoulder in just plain grit. Major was/is a hero of mine, but so is Chris.

I think he did win some over but lost them with that dreadful follow up performance in Waco.

Hooked,
The only thing better was being there, behind the goal posts and throwing the Horns up when the kick went airborne and looking at the WTF look in all their eyes... it was like someone had just broke it off inside them...
It doesn't get any better than that... It was Priceless!!!

that aTm win was awesome. as aTm ran away from Texas as one scorned little b!tch for an even bigger guy, Texas gets the final word in. "okay, Texas, but let's leep the T+1 game alive." "forget it. now get out of my house you worthless slut, and don't come back." now they're extremely bitter at Texas. it makes 27-25 that much more sweet.

Very well said.

I was fortunate enough to be at the Holiday Bowl for Major's last game - What an incredible victory.

watching #LHN and it's the re-run of us sending our little brothers off to the sec the right way.

Amazing what you can find on the internet.

39 seconds.

The silence begins right at 1:00 in this video and the first sound from an A&M announcer comes 30+ seconds later.

So many plot lines made that game one of the all time greats. The end of the rivalry, the poor coaching by Sherman and the walk off kick.

I mean, there is absolutely no way we deserved to come out there with a win. That made it even more poetic. A&M could not stop from tripping over their shoelaces in that game and allowed us to steal a victory without an offense whatsoever.

Just, awesome all around.
