The 1994 Cotton Bowl. I was certain we could beat ND that year, and we should have. That one hurt.

1999 Sugar Bowl against tOSU. Lost 24-14. The party on New Year's Eve was pretty epic though.
that was my #1 observation too during warmups. Tennessee's RB's and LB's were gigantic. Lucky the final score was only 38-7TheWalkOn said:I looked at our team and looked at theirs in warm ups and thought, "we're about to get our *** beat".oldschoolcat said:

1985 Cotton Bowl. Sorry, I'm old. My Senior year. Ags finally got back to being relevant again. Bo Jackson was the show. Crew stuffed him over and over.
Biggest thing people still don't understand about football was displayed over and over by the '85 team.....Does anyone remember that offense averaged like 215/game on the ground and 215 in the air? Nobody did that in those days. NOBODY. Ground game was balanced between Tony, Vick, and Woodside (and some with Harry Johnson). Receivers were balanced between Nelson, Walker, Bernstein (a TE that had OVER 100 yards receiving that day!! What an idea, right?) and throws to the backs. Defenses couldn't deal with it all.
That offense was so much ahead of its time. It was designed by Lynn Amedee who was so under-rated!
Believe it or not, that is essentially the offense Coach Fisher is trying to put together. Go back and watch some of those films. It was an incredible display of Pro-Style offense that spread the ball so well. We could run it on anyone. We could throw it on anyone.
I believe we are going to be there again soon!
Vol players didn't even look like the same species of human.W said:that was my #1 observation too during warmups. Tennessee's RB's and LB's were gigantic.

You must be thinking of another game because that 2005 Cotton Bowl was not cold at all. . It was a muggy unseasonably warm day in Dallas that . Like shorts/ T-shirt warm
Early and BAS you are 100% correct

1986 Cotton Bowl, aka the Bo Jackson Bowl. The Aggies spanked Auborn up to and including running the Swinging Gate extra point. I saw this game in person and loved it. When I watched the replay on the VCR and ABC's coverage it sparked my eternal hatred for the network.

1992 Cotton Bowl. The 1991 team had the best defense in, maybe ever. They lost to FSU 10-2 on a miserable cold and wet day. Ags turned it over 8 times, but completely shut down FSU. Greg Hill fumbled for a touchback, and Schorp, I think, dropped a wide open TD. That was probably the best team since '75, despite losing to Tulsa.
Ineligible for the league title or a bowl game for the '94 season, and no TV appearances.Quote:
What punishment did we get that year? I wasn't even alive haha

It really felt like we were on the cusp of 2005 being a great year.
We were wrong.

Worked with a guy who's nephew played for A&M at that time. Our team apparently treated the bowl like an afterthought, while Cal showed up to actually play.

on the flipside 11 years earlier at the aforementioned Alamo Bowl...
that Michigan team was loaded with NFL talent...Charles Woodson, Jon Runyan, Amani Toomer, Brian Griese, Tim Biakabutuka...and a couple of very good players from Texas: Mercury Hayes and Jarrett Irons.
but A&M had the athletes on defense to hang with them for 4 quarters and escape with a 2-point win

Start at the 5 minute mark and you can see Hill's fumble and Coryatt's sack. FWIW, the refs spotted the ball wrong after the fumble. If they had put it at the 20 like they should have, we get shut out on that miserable day.said:94chem said:

Agree with every word of this. And the 2 pts came on the best defensive play I've ever seen: Quentin Coryatt made a lot of money because of what he showed on that play.
