re: Bear vs Mac redux?

1967(missed xtra-point), 1972 (21-35) 1973 (we outgain them 3 to 1 but 3-fumbles lead to 21-Bama points and we lose 7-21). After the 1973 game Mac's program loses to Tulane and Tennesse in the astro-Bluebonnet Bowl). We are picked to win the SEC in '74, the year of the Tiger, and we go 5-5-1 and we never win over 8-games again until 1982.In 1969 we lose to Ole Miss 23-26 and get knocked out of the Cotton Bowl by ND. Vegas odds in the 1969 bowl season had two teams that would have benn favored over Texas in the 01-01-1970 Cotton Bowl - Penn State by 1 and LSU by 3. Source: Dallas Morning News.
