re: 1997 Independence Bowl

I was there. The old Stadium has never looked that good before or since. Tickets were being advertised in the Dallas papers for hundreds over face value. Sleet began coming down as we were headed to the stadium. Temperature was around 40, but it was wet and windy. I remember watching the replay and the look on Herb Tyler's face when the streaker ran past the huddle. One of Shreveport's finest leveled him.

Game was called by the iconic duo of Ron Franklin and Mike Gottfried.
