Hart Lee Dykes!  I was just mentioning him to my wife today, as we were listening to his old Cowboy head coach Pat Jones on the radio.

How many recruits manage to see three schools get slapped with probation over their recruitment of him?  Hart Lee Dykes did--OU, fOSU, and SMU all got penalized for the manner in which they recruited him.

I always thought it was more than that,  Illinois and A&M were caught up in that too.   He sung like a bird to the NCAA.

I'm sure it went something like this.

NCAA:  so who's offering you money Hart?
HLD:  OU,  A&M,  Illinois,  oSu,
NCAA: ok, how much did they offer?
HLD: I'm not done...SMU
NCAA: Yeah, they've got bigger problems Hart, let's talk about Illinois.

I can't find any images of his towels.  He had a variety of them.  I remember one said 'Bye Bye' on the back, another one said 'See Ya',  I think the Big 8 told him not to wear them anymore.    He had one with a red hear shape in that great '88 Bedlam game vs OU, when that non HLD WR dropped a wide open TD pass in the back of the end zone in the final seconds, and OU held on 31-28 or something.  Mike Gaddis ran wild for OU in that game.  One of the best Bedlam games I ever watched.

good clips of this on youtube.  Can see the towel, and Switzer burning a heater on the sideline.  Roger Twiebel and Lee Corso on the call.  I was at that blizzard N at Iowa St. game earlier in the day in Ames, where else.

I almost forgot about the personal foul call on Limbrick for yelling 'F U' at the ref on that final drive where he got pulled out out of bounds and they flag Limbrick

I kinda feel for the Boz - with that MNF game vs Bo and the Raiders.
He gets some of the blame, for being so out there, but I feel like it was mostly the talking heads drumming up an angle for eyeballs.  You pit anyone vs Bo Jackson in a physical "showdown" and yes, they're going to come up short.

Even everybody.

Athlon's ranking of the national champions of the last 50 years is so bad, it must be trolling.  I counted to 10 and I'm moving on.  Breathe.......

In following up with my earlier post about great Saturdays in college football, I next submit October 15, 1994, with 5 games between ranked teams (including two games between top 6 teams, which included #1 going down at home), and a pair of helmets suffering upset losses, plus the 3rd Saturday in September
