Y'all might be forgetting his famous thread he started after the 2006 Rose Bowl, titled "Longhorn Fans, Where Is Thy Froth?"
I managed to attain his wrath when some no-name TB from OU took 4 quarters to break Melvin Gordon's record rushing day, which he did in 3 quarters. All I did was say the OU coaches made sure that record fell by keeping the kid in for the whole game.

I thought 408 yards against Nebraska would stick. 25 carries, 16.3 YPC, 4 touchdowns.
U RAH RAH! WIS CON SIN!

THIS DAY IN HISTORY: 

Electricity Generated for First Time at Nuclear Power Plant (1951)
Now a US National Historic Landmark, the Experimental Breeder Reactor I in Idaho became the world's first electricity-generating nuclear power plant in 1951, when it produced enough electricity to illuminate four light bulbs. After the initial test, it subsequently generated sufficient electricity to power its building and continued to be used for experimental purposes until it was decommissioned in 1964.

I thought 408 yards against Nebraska would stick. 25 carries, 16.3 YPC, 4 touchdowns.

That reminds me of Leonard Fournette breaking the LSU single game rushing record in 2016 against Ole Miss.  After being sidelined for a month with a high ankle sprain, he returned to humiliate the Rebear "Land Sharks" by reeling off 284 yards on just 16 carries, good for 17.8 ypc. 

It was a record previously set by Alley Broussard in 2004, but it didn't take nearly so long for it to be broken again.  Just a couple weeks later with Fournette re-injured, backup RB Derrius Guice scraped out one more yard--285--but on 37 carries. 

It's not like 7.7 ypc is a bad day, but I was surprised LSU made such a big fuss about it.  Orgeron was campaigning to have the "Interim" tag removed from his title and he admitted he was aware of the record and no doubt he thought having two backs set records during his interim tenure would help his cause.  So he kept playing Guice and feeding him the ball.  So yeah....he did break the record, but in my mind it was almost disrespectful to what Fournette had done just weeks prior.  It's not even a question which one was the greatest RB game in LSU history.  One of those things happened organically due to sheer greatness.  The other happened purposefully, and with much more effort.

THIS DAY IN HISTORY: 
First Manned Voyage to a Celestial Body Launched (1968)
Also the first manned launch of a Saturn V rocket, Apollo 8 was the first manned voyage to a celestial body—the Moon. It took about three days for the craft to enter lunar orbit, whereupon it proceeded to orbit the Moon 10 times in 20 hours. The three crew members were the first humans to see the far side of the Moon—an important precursor to the historic lunar landing that would occur less than a year later.
