   Saw it. That was the most fun I’ve ever had at a football game, even though I was half drowned by the time it was over. I hadn’t thought about how drenched Sammy must have been.

   Winning 20-17 in Austin on a last minute field goal in 1967 was at least as good. Took the GREs, hopped in a friend’s car and sped (very!) to make it to the kickoff. Well worth the trip to see the tower stay unlighted.

     Jerry — That 20-17 win in Austin was in 1965. The joy was still evident the next fall during my freshman year.

     BTW, I’d also heard that the pre-MOB Rice Band introduced “The World Smallest Bass Drum” at that 1965 game in Austin … to contrast with the Longhorn Band’s huge “Big Bertha” drum that is rolls around as “The World’s Largest.” (http://www.dailytexanonline.com/2018/04/12/ut-austin%E2%80%99s-%E2%80%98big-bertha%E2%80%99-drum-literally-has-a-radiant-past )

     (BTW, the Owls lost the 1967 game in Austin, 28-6.)
