1966 Cotton Bowl - Arkansas vs. LSU

As the story goes, Mac was bringing the team in to the hotel and some Hog fans said "Hey, look they actually showed up".

Mac said he didn't have to say a thing after that to get the team ready.

In the game story, the only Arky TD drive was an 11-play 87 yard drive and only took 1:27 off the clock? What did they go out of bounds every play?

Man, I remember it like it was yesterday. My cousin in Walnut Ridge is still upset over how obnoxious I was after the Tigers spanked the Piggies.

After the game when Mac and Broyles shook hands Broyles said, "You just cost us a national championship."

Mac replied, "I knew what the stakes were."

My high school football coach was the anchor of the Arkansas defense that year.

Thanks for bringing back a fond memory. I was a Marine in Vietnam and listened to a lot of smack from Razorbacks. One provoked me to offer him a $100 bet; the typical "put up or shut up," deal. He put up, and I was stuck with the bet, realizing my position didn't look all that strong. When the Tigers pulled the upset I enjoyed receiving the C note, but not nearly as much as the silence. Don't recall hearing any more hog calling in Nam afterwards.
