That would be a huge win for our guys!! Hell, if we beat ND, I'll probably throw my damn couch off the balcony, set it on fire, and toss couple of pics of my mother-in-law on top just for grins!

#22 Billy Dale goes in for the winning TD in the 1970 Cotton Bowl. Result: Longhorns 21 Fighting Irish 17; National Championship.

Nice blocking, eh?

Great pick VY Fan, not to steal your thunder but here is another angle of the same play that won a NC. Wuensch, Worster and Peschel supplied the wall - key blocks for #22 HB Billy Dale from Odessa.

I feel unclean posting a photo of a Sooner on this thread, but DKR is the exception to every rule.

While I'm posting photos that may get me banned, here's #21 Blake Gideon dropping a potential game-sealing INT against Tech in 2008. A bad moment in an otherwise great career.

Blake Gideon

Even though we ultimately lost, Gideon’s INT in this game was a great early moment and showed that this team came ready to play. Great heads-up play.

I still remember that...make the catch - Game Over, and HELLO NCG!! But no. Still, that wasn't the only reason we didn't win. Lots of other stuff happened and a lot of other assignments were missed that that put us in that position.

Well, there IS a 21 in the picture! heh heh
