Great memory! Jamaal Charles ran wild in that game.

My first memory was really Ricky Williams in '98 and even that feels fuzzy, which makes me sad. Disappointed in my parents for not starting me on it sooner. My most vivid first Texas memory was watching Texas/Stanford in 1999 in a Llano hotel. Don't remember why we were in Llano but I just remember that being the game on lol.

Oct. 2, 1993

Texas 55, Rice 38

Bert Emanuel was the quarterback for Rice.

Some guy named Anthony Holmes ran for two touchdowns for the Longhorns (I wonder whatever happened to him?).

That day was all I needed to understand where my allegiances resided when it came to college football in the state of Texas.

Whatever doubt was left, Stonie Clark erased it on the goal line against OU the next season.
