I WAS AT THAT GAME IN '94!

I was 10 years old, i was sitting 50 yard line behind the oklahoma bench like first or second row. i remember my dad hugged a complete stranger after marvin harrison scored his 2nd td, and everything was gravey.. then OU kicked that fg and i owed my uncle an ice cream bc he was an ou alum. and he collected on it!

this would be the first of my MANY crushing su defeats witnessed first hand as a kid.. its a wonder i still went to the school after the torture they put me thru!

… and i was also 10 years old, but i was sitting with my father and a friend on the 50 yard line on Syracuse’s sideline. I still can’t believe that guy made that kick… that ride home sucked

funny that game was posted, because last night I chatted with a guy that was a DE for cuse on that team at an alumni event. I didn’t want to bring up this game and bad memories, but I had to, and he told me “well we should have won that game.”
