Several threads have mentioned Baylor folks griping about this game. Not many people remember it ... so ... if anyone cares here are a few Houston Chronicle reports from 1992:

I remember watching this game on tv. Baylor was up like 13-6 at halftime. A lot of Texas HS football names in this one, right? JJ Joe at QB for Baylor and Robert Strait was still on this team right?

given that a large majority of them weren't even born or were too young to remember I find this humerous..

FAKE OUTRAGE OVER A GAME I NEVER SAW!!! GRRRRR!

Yeah ... Baylor was actually half way respectable back then.

From another article:

The Aggies went to 7-0 by beating Baylor 19-13 with just 11 first downs and a mere 33 yards passing.

DEFENSE WINS CHAMPIONSHIPS!!!!!

I think Pullig replaced Granger the following week at SMU.

Baylor was doomed in that game from their inability to conduct a 2-minute drill. Messed it up at the end of both halves

that was during a strange time period when Baylor actually played the Ags better/closer at Kyle than they did in Waco

I'm certain I was at that game as a student, but have no memory of it.

I remember attending that game with former Baylor great Vann McElroy (we grew up together)...I remember how he thought Baylor got "home-cooked", as he stated...lol

Can't believe I still remember the goal line stands vs. Robert Strait and the Rodney Thomas run up the gut for 80+ yards.

I know I was there because I did not miss a single game at Kyle while I was in school, but I don't remember this game. Our defense probably scored to help the offense. <-- nm...finally got the first link to open. 2 rushing TDs, so the defense didn't score in this one.

Nope ... One long Rodney Thomas run of 80+ yrds ... one Greg Hill TD run from over 40 out ... one field goal ... and Baylor gave us an intentional safety ... hence the 19 points

And to be fair ... this really was a "forgetable" game ... we didnt play well really ... we were outgained by Baylor. I only remember certain things becuase I have th game on DVD. There was nothign overly remarkable for A&M other than another win in the march to 12-0.

I remember he 2 TD runs by Thomas and Hill being the majority of Texas A&M's offensive output.

Jeff Granger was a gritty player, not always the prettiest, but he won some games.

I was there.

On that Rodney Thomas run, our Left Guard and Right Guard both just reached out at the snap and grabbed the opposing defensive players by the front of their jerseys then fell backwards, literally pulling both defenders down on top of them as Rodney just ran by.

I saw it plain as day and it looked so obviously synchronized and intentional that I was just stunned and was waiting for a bunch of yellow flags to start flying in from every angle.

Never happened. Lucky for us, I guess.

I remember the end of the first half being very similar to the end of the 2009 Big 12 Championship game, only no time was added back to the clock.

I was a Senior in the Aggie Band so I was standing on the goal line of the north end zone at the half

As I recall the Aggies were 3-0-1 against Baylor from 1989 to 1992 and and we should have been 1-3

In 1989 Our offense had one decent drive THE WHOLE GAME, a missed two point conversion, a pick 6, and the Baylor kicker missed a 50 yard field goal wide right by inches as time expired for us to win 14-11 (honestly we had two INTs in the end zone in the first half and should have been down 28-0 with Baylor getting inside the 10 yard line 4 times and coming away with two field goals)

We tied in 1990 20-20

And I was there in 1992 while we were rolling to 12-0. And if there is such a thing as an ugly 12-0 that was it. nail biters all season. Jeff Granger one hopping simple toss passes into the turf.

We beat Texas Tech as I recall 19-17 when Aubrey Beavers blitzed on 3 and 9 and had Granger's jersey but he shook him and threw a strike to Greg Schorp for the 1st down. We drove inside the 10,m bled the clock, almost threw a pick, and got the Field Goal from Terry Venatoulious to win the game. The whole season was like that.

And then we were 11-0 going into Austin and they were chanting 11-1 at the hex rally since they were adding the loss they were going to inflict on us.

Ann Richards asked for the Aggie Band and the Texas Band to perform on the field together and play "Texas Our Texas"

8 Aggie bandsmen walked off the field (and were dismissed from the FTAB)

The Texas football players ran on the field intending to run through the FTAB

A bass player knocked the texas flag carrier out cold when he tried to break ranks. One of the Texas Football players laid the wood on a trumpet fish (he was urinating blood for 3 days)

The only reason the whole thing did not degenerate into a melee was John Mackovic ran on the field, demanded his players return to the sideline or not play. As a figure of authority recognized by everyone he restored relative calm to a situation that was on the cusp of an all out fight. So I applaud Mackovic for his intervention that day.

As for the Baylor game, it was a close run thing. But many games that season were. And Baylor had a very good team under Grant Teaff. I felt fortunate we had the record we had against them. The program slipped in the first dozen years of the Big XII but they have resurged now.

I would argue the upset of 10-0 K-State last year by 5-5 Baylor was the most shocking upset of the season. A&M's win over Alabama was amazing and impressive but the Aggies totally earned that win and 7-2 A&M over 9-0 Alabama was shocking but not as shocking.

Wonder why the 1992 game is back in the news?

The '86 Baylor game was much better...

Never Say Die!

In that 92 game I remember Grant Teaff was trying to run out on the field to argue a bad call and forgot his wired headset was on. Once he ran out of slack WHOOPS he busted his ass. I bet the kid holding those wires was like WTF!

we used to watch the Grant Teaff show for our own amusement. He spent 5 minutes showing our OL grab and drop play. I remember him yelling about Patrick Bates, "that's a hay hook tackle, illegal!"

At the end you would have thought Baylor won with all their highlights. Then he would sadly say they didn't win. Good times!!

Rhay, you have an awesome memory, sir. Thank you.

I remember losing all respect for Grant Teaff during that 20-20 tie game. As I recall, we turned the ball over near midfield at the end of the game and rather than go for the win, he chose to kneel the last few plays to preserve the tie.

No kidding rhay, great memory!!

Your description of Granger avoiding the sack and throwing it to Greg made me remember the play as if it happened yesterday!! Good bull!!

I was having trouble remembering this game until you posted that. I remember he was throwing a fit and then splattered about 15 yards out onto the field. The crowd just laughed at him and he went back quietly.

Was shocked to see this thread resurected. I posted this in 2011 and at the time there was alot of Baylor fans on the boards and some were chirping about being robbed in 1992. So, I posted the Houston Chronicle links for anyone not sure what the Bear crew was talking about.
