do you all remember back in 1968 when Houston beat Tulsa, 100-6? Was the game a big deal?

Dr. Phil was on that Tulsa team.

Hey! I resemble that remark. :beguiled:

[SoonerNomad]

No, but I remember when Houston beat Texas 60-40 in 1987 by returning four interceptions for touchdowns.

Was that the year Elvin Hayes and Houston beat Lew Alcindor and UCLA in the Astrodome? I didn't know Dr. Phil played ball for Tulsa. I did know he went to grad school at NTSU and later got involved in pyramid schemes and lost his license temporarily. And he worked for the Barkouras Foundation in OKC.

I remember the 1979 Cotton Bowl when Houston was up 34-12 on Notre Dame at the end of the third quarter. Then Joe Montana, who had the flu, ate a bowl of chicken soup and led the Domers on a 23 - 0 run in the fourth quarter for the one point win.

I was a freshman at O.U. that fall. What was big was the UH score and the victory margin. I don't believe the game had any conference implications. If memory serves, Tulsa upset Houston the year before and I think kinda sorta ran up the score. Hence the beat down in 1968.

Many years later I had a neighbor in Houston who was on the UH team along with Larry Gatlin of C&W fame. My neighbor said he never saw a team just completely give up like the Tulsa squad that day.

OU came close to 100 in 1980 by beating Colorado 82-42.

[ashley]

I was there for the first three quarters.

[BigTip]

So the point of this thread is......hopefully we hang a hundred on Texass?

Wouldn't that be AWESOME?!!

:smug:

[Crimsonandcream]

I was thinking Larry Gatlin was the backup qb for Houston that year. Could be wrong. Long time ago.

[AlbqSooner]

I remember it. The next time they played, Tulsa won by a score which I neither recall nor care to research. I do however recall that Tulsa kept the starters in and the passes flying until the final gun.

Phil McGraw was born in Vinita, Oklahoma, the son of Jerry (née Stevens) and Joe McGraw.[3] He grew up with two older sisters, Deana and Donna, and younger sister Brenda[4] in the oilfields of North Texas where his father was an equipment supplier. During McGraw's childhood, his family moved so his father could pursue a lifelong dream of becoming a psychologist. McGraw attended Shawnee Mission North High School in Overland Park, Kansas. In 1968, he was awarded a football scholarship to the University of Tulsa, where he played middle linebacker under Coach Glenn Dobbs. On November 23 of that year McGraw's team lost to the University of Houston 100–6, which is one of the most lopsided games in college football history.[5] Coach Dobbs retired after that season, and McGraw transferred to Midwestern State University in Wichita Falls, Texas.

I had forgotten that Chuck Fairbanks was the Colorado coach for the 82-42 game. The original Buster Rhymes on that team.

At that time, David Overstreet was the #2 rusher all time in Texas Highschool football. #1 was Ken Hall from Sugarland who played in the 50s. Overstreet went on to play for the Dophins until he was killed in a car wreck far too young.

[ashley]

Larry Gatlin played wide receiver.

[oudanny]

I remember the game a litte. About one third of the Tulsa team had the flu and there was some talk about cancelling the game.
I think Houston scored 4 touchdowns in the fourth quarter even though the game was out of reach. The last one was on a punt return with very little time left. There was some bad blood between Tulsa and Houston because Tulsa had spoiled their much hyped debut in the Astrodome a couple of years earlier. Bill Yeoman, the Houston coach was an arrogant sob.

[Soonerfan88]

I wasn't alive for the 1968 game. However, I was in the Astrodome in 1988 to see Houston beat Tulsa 82-28.

That was awesome. Some great plays in that game. J.C. fumbles on the one into the endzone recovered for a TD. Sheppard running down the sideline, fumbles the ball. Staying at a full sprint, the ball bounces twice back into his hands.

[Taxman71]

Gatlin boys? 100-6? Now I know the inspiration for Coward of the County.
