i think that was the only time where i was pretty happy about a tie.
Agreed. We were totally outplayed that game. One small victory for me was the look of abject desolation from a UT fan near me who was yelling at the top of his lungs -- no words, just "YYYYAAAAHHHH!!!!" -- and waving a cowboy hat -- for 3 1/2 hours straight.
A fullback whose name currently escapes me (wore #35, I think -- Moorer? Morrow?). cleared a path one of my fellows in the OFC could have scored the 2 points on.
Late edit: Had to look it up. The number wasn't 35, but rather 31. Player's name was Marcus Moring.
