ou in 2000....Gameday, I tried to get my video cam in and had to take it back to the vehicle--I mean, who would give a crap that I was going to vid the crowd and Corso putting on the Willie Hat...shoulda took it as a sign of things to come.  Some 0u jackass stole the chairback off my chair during the morning, had to go to fan accomodations and get a new one.  Another sign.

But then, finally in my seat, and it was Harley Day, our seats were on the front row, Section 13, in the end zone, and those big hogs would turn the corner and drop the hammer, and we felt the rumble in our chests, damn was that an atmosphere or what?

After all the dust settled, and I was sleeping on my buddy's couch hide-a-bed, I don't think I got 2 minutes of good sleep, because I dreamed all night long of all of those passes that Beas hit people between the numbers with that ended up on the ground.

How Stoops put that group of converted quarterbacks together as a receiving corps, a rag arm lefty juco kid qb, a group of 5 offensive linemen that never suffered a minute of time lost due to injury all year long, and turned it into an undefeated national championship season is a flat out miracle.  Especially considering he hasn't done it since with all the recruits he could ever want.

I kinda think uSC was a pretty damn loud game, when newman returned the blocked PAT, because USC had just drove down and scored on us, and everyone was like... crap...

Then Newman's big return.. That was a very loud game.. 2000 Nebraska was pretty hella loud, too.

The blocked punt moment in the '00 OU game was above and beyond anything else.  If you don't believe that, then you couldn't have been there.

One of my favorite seasons because of the way we bounced back (eventually) after that loss, but what a horrible day.  I just remember going to see Remember the Titans afterwards, then lying in bed and seeing all of those missed chances in my head.  I was sick.

Oh ... the 2002 USC game ... I remember when USC scored, and I said to my wife (we were watching on TV, couldn't make that game), "Wouldn't it be cool if we blocked this PAT and ran it back for two?"  I don't know why I had a sense of that ... I guess I was remembering the Indiana State game in 1991.

The whole sequence around that punt was amazing, it was like someone built an amp that went straight past 11 to like 13 or 14:

Third down stop deep in their territory to give us a chance at the comeback ->  :dancin:
David Allen sprinting onto the field for (if I remember correctly) his first punt return of the day ->  :woot:
Blocked! ->  :excited:
Touchdown!!!!!! ->  :woohoo:

I was there....

great range of emotions that day.  If I remember correctly, the previous week OU curb-stomped the Horns.  That concerned me a little bit, but Texas was nothing back then.

I built the set for Gameday that day, then watched the game from down front around the 35 without any tickets.

USC didn't drive on us they recovered a fumble in the end zone, happened right in front of me,  OU was louder though.
