I'll say 1993

Correct decade…199?

This was the first game I watched with Kirk Herbstreit announcing. This was also the first college football broadcast for the season in which this game was played. In the opening frame a striking late summer sun prolongs the days across the upper Midwest; not due for darkness until past 9PM:

Tell me about this game.

Last tie ever. 1995.

That RB is Carl McCullough. #13.

UW also tied Stanford that season.

Horns tied the hated Sooner scum that season as well.

This might be an easier one, but first a few hints:

The road team wore unconventional uniforms that weren’t well received. And the road team was thoroughly beaten down in a truly unusual sight, because by the time I grew into watching college football it was a once- or twice-in-a-decade rarity for this university to get blown out.

1967 spring scrimmage tackle

Our resident Longhorns fans might not want to remember this game, but besides the year, anyone remember this particular short time player? Or the rest of his unlikely story?

Yes!

As for Marty Cherry, the very brief Longhorns QB pictured:

“Unless they lived through the worst home loss in UT history, Longhorn fans likely don't recall the name of Marty Cherry. The sophomore from the Arkansas side of Texarkana got a rough football baptism as a relief pitcher for the eleventh-ranked Horns on a hot mid-September day in 1997. A stunning 66-3 whipping from UCLA --- to live in infamy as "Rout 66" -- ultimately resulted in a positive turn for Cherry. That was despite a tough day at the office. Cherry, not any more or less effective than his teammates, had three interceptions amid his 9-18 passing and was roughed up for minus 25 yards and a lost fumble on five sacks.

Push fast-forward one year to autumn '98. A personable, sunny Mack Brown had replaced Mackovic at The Forty Acres. Ricky Williams was Heisman-bound and a freckle-faced youngster named Major Applewhite was coming on strong as a fill-in for injured senior QB Richard Walton. Cherry? He'd been picked off by noted male fashion photographer Bruce Weber, who saw Marty's handsome mug on the televised UCLA debacle and had his assistants contact Cherry about a possible photo shoot. Cherry reportedly deflected the first advances but took up the offer in February '98.

The guy later described by one writer as "square-jawed and aqua-eyed," was soon modeling for Abercrombie & Fitch and strolling the catwalk in Italy. By the '98 season, Cherry had traded in his burnt orange and white togs for more uplifting finery. After dropping 25 pounds from his 6-2, 200 frame, he was featured, along with a football, in a Ralph Lauren Chaps billboard in Manhattan's Times Square.”

That 66-3 game was one of those scores that just scrambles your brain, doesn't make sense, and you move on about life as if it never happeend.

“The cornerback who, actually has really nice coverage. Expecting the fade. He has no idea the ball is on its way.”

Kicked off a very unexpected 20 game winning streak for UCLA.
