The Wrecking Crew prevails as Brett Stafford foolishly thinks he can get the 12th man at Kyle Field to quiet down in 1985. A&M crushed the Longhorns 42-10.
I have always heard about this play, but had never seen it. I love how he tries to snap it real quick at the end and the crowd instantly resumes roaring.
"They'll throw a flag against Texas A&M if they can't control this crowd." So you're telling me that in 1985 if it was "too loud" the qb could stand there and delay the game without a flag? Ridiculous. Gig'em.
I was there, first game my parents took me to, was absolutely amazing. That was the year my dad started taking us to bonfire each and every year, staying to watch the game the next day. Great memories.
Even though I remember it, I can't believe that they ever held the home team responsible - by way of a 5-yard penalty - for their crowd "yelling too loudly." Thank goodness that smarter heads prevailed, and you simply say, "You can't hear the snap count? Then go to hand signals." A very interesting footnote in college football history.
its funny how stafford complains about it being to lous so the 12th man quites down a little and when he goes under they come back 10 times louder. HAHAHAH
Fightin' Texas Aggie 12th Man. The best fans in the nation no doubt. I have been to atleast 100 college football games in my life and no where are the fans better than in College Station at The Kyle Field. And EHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! from the Fightin' Texas Aggie Class of 2014!
I was a freshman in the Longhorn Band this year, and this is the one play I still remember from that game. I think I'll go throw up now. Thanks for reading.
Love it. That is so priceless. U.T. thinks they are the face of Texas, but they are and always have been wrong about that. A&M and Baylor are waaaay ahead of U.T.'s program.
