one of the worst games by far...

we physically dominated SWL all night long but turnovers were the story..8 turnovers..and I want to say the USL had at least 2 defensive scores

Jake Delhomme and Brandon Stokely were on that '96 USL team

didnt the use the scoreboard pic after that game for the cover of their media guide for like the next 5 years

8 turnovers. I still think about that and it's still almost impossible to comprehend.

Refresh my memory...how many of those turnovers were returned for points? That seems to be even more difficult to comprehend.

I too was there. Not the greatest road game I've ever been to. Tying SMU in San Antonio in '94 was almost as bad, but despite the very good food in Lafayette, this was the worst road trip ever.

Here.

and I was there too. Unbelievable cajuns ripped the grass out of the middle of the field where the red fluer-de-lie was. All that was left was a giant dirt hole.

A lot of the A&M players, especially on defense, played in the NFL. A&M does have the talent. Just need coaches who know how to use them.

We had more total yards than them - yards is all I look at when judging a game. I feel good about this game.

They certainly had the talent in '96.

I was at a bar later that night in Lafayette. Free beer for everyone. I remember looking at some of the USL players (according to my Cajun friend) and thinking, "Man, those guys are small."

I'm not sure, but I think there is some kind of plaque there commemorating the game.

That was a dark day, indeed. The result of the game, of course, meant that major numbing was going to happen courtesy of Jose Cuervo. Well, we went to a party after that totally wasted, where I had thought some dude was hitting on my then girlfriend. I break my hand decking the guy, then proceed to get my ass handed to me by said guy, as I am a lover, not a fighter. Not to mention that my handle is a nickname given me by my college buddies, due to my physical stature.

I wake up in the morning hungover, throwing up, busted hand, busted face, girlfriend nowhere to be found and an Aggie loss to a LA directional school. Not one of the better days in my life.

Funny now that I look back on it though. Especially since I ran into that chick about two years ago and I didn't recognize her right away because she was so fat.

Should have been RCs last season. The writing was on the wall. 51-15 should have been it.

That, and well over 100 yards in penalties. What a nightmare.

That's funny. I was always of the opinion that points mattered most. Silly me.

Here.

I still have USL friends and customers that remind me of that to this day. May have been the worst loss I have had to endure in my Aggie life.

I didn't make the trip, but I remember we paid for the PPV broadcast of the game. We had a bunch of people over, keg, BBQ, the whole nine yards. It ended up being the worst party ever because everyone left in disgust.

The upside was me and my 5 roomies were "forced" to finish the entire keg that night.

This was a horrid loss, but at least you can say the better team lost. Seriously, 8 turnovers with 3 of them returned for TDs. 77-0 is and will always be the worst loss I've experienced.

From the ULL website:

quote:
The greatest of those moments came during the 1996 season when the Ragin' Cajuns opened their 26th season in the facility with the biggest upset in school history, a 29-22 victory over No. 25 Texas A&M in front of a Cajun Field-record 38,783 fans. It is also the largest crowd to ever attend an athletic event in Acadiana.

Stick... After a 3 week+- period of anguish and grief I think I'm ready to move on with my life now. The moral of that story truly is... "it can ALWAYS be worse".

I was in Grad school at USL then and had been talking scat for months. Lost many beer bets and took crap for a long time. I repaid some of my buddies with a trip to Kyle the next year wher they received major sunburn, Brandon Stokely received a broken shoulder, and USL received a 66-0 a** rape.

They did erect a shrine built, near the athletic facility, around the torn goalpost.

Girlfriend wasn't exectly impressed with him, but wasn't exactly impressed with me anymore either. I can't imagine why. But yes, he did knock my drunk ass out
