Hard to believe that it was 35 years ago when the Aggie destroyed Notre Dame in the Cotton Bowl.

I remember it was cold.

Tim Brown got upset about his towel.

We were the only team to beat Notre Dame in 1988.

OP, thanks for posting.

Greatness with Jackie Sherrill as HC, and RC Slocum as DC.

I was there, and still have my 12th Man Towel from that day. Wrote on it the game and date. Now that I remember that, I need to hang in in the man-cave.

I was at this game and the '98 Championship game over K-State. Hard to believe how few of these high points we've had since.

That was half a life ago for me.
Where has time gone and why so fast?
Great memories of that time though.

Great memories. We played hard all game. Not a single player stuck out alone. We were all playing to our best potential that game.

I was there with crappy seats low in the endzone, but it was still a great memory.

I went to the Cotton Bowl the year before when we lost.

And we got our car towed.

But I remember watching this one.

Yea, the 87 Cotton Bowl was my last time to March in the Aggie Band and the game was a disappointment

Notre Damn got out to 10-0lead. Then Adam Bob took over.

I just realized that this bowl victory was the LAST time A&M won a conference title and bowl game in the same season.

I was wrong. It was from the 1993 Cotton Bowl which was also against notre dame.

I've been to every Cotton bowl the Ags have played in since the one against Bama in 68. This was a really good one, and cold.

I was stationed at Carswell 85-87. Made it to the '86 Cotton Bowl, sat B52 alert for the '87 Cotton Bowl. Transferred to Enid OK in 87 and drove down for the'88 game. So I got to see the two wins and luckily missed the '87 game

Cold as balls that day. I remember driving to the stadium and listening to the pregame on the radio and the announcers acted like they didn't even know A&M was playing. Entire show was about ND and Tim Brown's homecoming. Which made the ass kicking that much sweeter

I remember this game well. Watched from home. I was 4.

Did we play ND again the next year, also? I remember a pair of back to back Cotton Bowl's against ND....

NVM. It was 1993-94. Two Cotton Bowls both featuring A&M vs ND.
