10 Years Ago Right Now

by Huck L Berry on Oct 31, 2008 1:32 PM CDT in Texas Longhorns and Other Football

I was hurrying back to my apartment after having walked out of the Fundamentals of Engineering exam (precursor required to take the Professional Engineer exam after a certain time period in the workforce) early to watch the Longhorns game in Lincoln, Nebraska. Some engineering classmates called me after they got out to give me some encouragement because they figured I had bombed it. Fools. There was a great football game that day.

First Half Highlights:

Second Half Highlights:

First huge road win of Mack Brown's career as we took down a Top Ten team at their place before people figured out they weren't all they were cracked up to be. Let's hope for some déjà vu tomorrow night.

Weird – I walked out of the same test halfway through the afternoon portion on that Saturday as well – passed with two points to spare and got to see the second half of a great game. Brian White – we salute you.

Those were some sweet comprehensive highlights.

Yeah, I’m not sure what VideoLonghorn goes by on the various forums, but those highlights are first class.

LOMFL at Monte Christo. I had forgotten all about that unfortunately named bastard.

Btw, I vomited out the window of a moving car on the drag after this game. Great times.

I went to Hooters after that game, and then to a Halloween party, where I felt up a girl dressed as some Disney princess. It was definitely more erotic that it should have been.

I was there after flipping in a suburban about 5 times down I-80 seven miles from Lincoln at 4am that morning.

Have loved Major ever since.

Major really liked to throw the ball downfield.

Texasholdem- I heard all that survived of the suburban were the bobblehead frogs from the dashbord. “You can beat, but you can’t stop me. I’m cheering for the horns!”

Nothing says Big 12 showdown like Brent Musburger talking about the Big 10 (Wisconsin).

Yep, my folks got stuck with a 1/3 of the tab on the suburban. Nothing like a near death experience to help excuse a couple of grand of wasted cash on your worthless kid.

Watching #4 on our D in those highlights brings back memories (with less than euphoric recall BTW) of last year’s over-running, shooting-own-foot LBing corps…or has Bobino actually just been here that long and simply added another 4 to his jersy?

I remember Brian White being much slower and much more wide open, like no one within 40 yards. Then taking like 15 minutes run 50 yards while all the Nebraska defense ran to the other end zone, had a smoke, and then chased him down.
