Or possibly the 2002 game that Burnt Eyes attended...........

Horns win 27 - 24

Cornerback Nathan Vasher intercepted Lord's pass at the Texas 1-yard line with 10 seconds remaining in the game Saturday, sending the seventh-ranked Longhorns to a 27-24 victory before a record Memorial Stadium crowd of 78,268.

The loss ended the nation's longest home winning streak at 26 games. Nebraska had not lost at home since falling in October of 1998 to -- you guessed it -- Texas.

"All in all, it's a learning experience," said Lord, a junior from Bayonne, N.J., in his first season as starter. "The next time I get in that situation at the end, hopefully the outcome will be different. I have to move on."


Yeah, like I said, lots of heartbreaking losses.  It really sucks to be you guys.

But you particularly cited a case of a last-second fumble, and I didn't recall that being among the myriad ways y'all lost to us.

320 didn't state last second, so I didn't either

didn't see the end of the Horn game so didn't realize it

heartbreaking losses are heartbreaking losses, regardless of a late turnover, an early turnover, or other goofy circumstance... such as adding seconds back to the clock after it goes to 0:00

hah

Problem is Skip is avoidable.  They stick Klatt in the booth for big games and jam his idiocy down your throat.
Granted I didn't listen to a broadcast this season but I've never found Klatt revolting.I don't always listen to all the banter either but I don't mind him and Gus at all.Listened to him on  Dan Patrick's show a while back he was decent so Im not feeling the umberage.Gary Danielson,Skip Clueless guys like that are the ones to grab the pitchforks and torches and go after.They are a crime against informational broadcasts

SEC games of apparent interest:

Tenn at UGA (3:30)  UGA 13 point favorite

Florida at A&M Noon ESPN

Miss State at UK


Arkansas is an interesting team thus far, maybe.  They play at Auburn, who didn't look great against UGA (at this point that is a double edged sword).  Of course,  Miss State looks dangerous beating LSU and then scores only 14 against Arkansas in a loss.

Klatt had more to say on Clay Travis' radio show, moving on from what's wrong with Texas to what's wrong with Oklahoma:

Travis: “How stunned are you over Oklahoma’s losses to Iowa State and Kansas State to begin the season?”

Joel Klatt: “I thought when that schedule came out that at Iowa State game the week before Red River, I always thought that was going to be a tough game. For those that have never been up to Iowa State, it’s a tough place to play and Iowa State is a fundamentally good team. But what you’re seeing right now is that the suspensions, transfers, and opt outs have just destroyed Oklahoma. And we thought that, oh they’ll be fine, it’s Lincoln Riley, they’ll be fine. But they don’t have veteran leadership all over that lineup that can pull out close victories. I believe it was Max Olson wrote a great piece in the Athletic about the rest of the Big 12 starting to catch up to Oklahoma. And talking about the margin of victory getting tighter and tighter over the last two and three seasons. Even since Lincoln Riley has been there. And how Oklahoma was winning so many close games – overtime games, winning on 2 point plays even against Iowa State last year. And that’s catching up with them because they’re so young and inexperienced. They’re offensive line is not quite as dominant in part because they’re young. Their defense is really small at the back end. They don’t run the football as well as they have in previous years. And what happens is you lose tight ballgames…right now they’re just young, inexperienced, and underdeveloped."

Klatt is interesting because he's football smart and sometimes shows that, but he likes to dabble in the takes. He's not a full on take monster, but he turns them out strategically with precision to annoy.

It actually touches on the most odd part about former athletes in the booth. People always talk about how someone "never played the game" and then almost everyone who did play the game either sublimates that to say bland nice things or fires off opinions like a 1980s newspaper columnist. It's super weird.

Good post that's why I don't mind Klatt at all.Really got down to the nuts and bolts right there.Iowa State is fundamentally sound and does have a HFA - well from those that showed up made some noise.And I really like Matt Campbell - I can see him staying like Ferentz @ I.C. and winning the State.Unless one of the Blue Bloods come calling,and I thought when Urban stepped down the Buckeyes would have offered him(he's an Ohio guy).I wouldn't have complained had they called his number

Matt Campbell's name comes up, but then he goes out a loses one or two games a season that he shouldn't

just enough to keep the big guys from calling with that bucket of cash

Ya but many games the opponent has the horses.People aren't happy right now with Frost but i think he's a keeper.Right now Schools like Iowa ST and UNL have to work harder than an ugly stripper on the recruiting trail.
