lost the next week to penn state (close game, IIRC there were some questionable decisions by Lou, including putting Graham in during an obvious passing situation which led to an INT, going for 2 late instead of the tie, etc.). Then got smoked by Miami, in a game that made Daniel Stubbs a lot of money later on for doing basically nothing in the NFL. Lost to A/M in the cotton bowl.

Of course, after that, they went on a 23 game winning streak.

in order to bask in the warm memory of that game. Many classmates came down onto the field after the game- we sang the Alma Mater on the 50, tried to get a photo, but ran out of film, dispersed out Green Field, then onto Senior Bar or off-campus parties.

I'm glad Tim Brown jumped on the Aggie that stole his towel. I sure as hell remember that.

after the game, said "the best is yet to come" and introduced the senior captains. I think 2 of them were offensive linemen - maybe he was losing 3 OL that year? Of course, the guys who replaced were even better in 1988.

Apparently to push for the Orange Bowl.

After the game, the sideline reporter asked Lou about it and Lou said "I am glad the students don't want us to go the Gator Bowl!"
