Yeah, I know. Just edited to fix a couple of things - Ware did play in the second quarter, and yes, Gregg was hot as hell about it afterward. It was brutal, and I can't blame the SMU fans for all kinds of hard feelings about it.

I was there, and it wasn't pretty, and no one was proud afterward. The thing is that damn few of those SMU players could have made the team as walk-ons a couple of years before, and that UH team was a flat scoring machine. They scored on 9 of 10 first half possessions. That wasn't a team that ran out of the I where you could just run dive plays and burn a bunch of clock. I mean yeah, they coulda taken a knee on two of three plays and punted, but that's pretty insulting too.

It was bad, like stomping puppies bad.

Ware had 46 TDs that year, Klingler 8 more. Hell, WR Manny Hazard had 22 TDs by himself. Chuck Weatherspoon was the S-back and also returned punts and kicks and averaged 9.6 yards every time he touched the ball.

Like I said, no one was proud. It wasn't the kind of game you brag about.
