It seems like similar things have happened this year just from scoreboard watching. The Wyoming game, for instance.
The Bobcats stayed right with Florida for 3 quarters, some recent season. Heh, I think it Zook's last year there. 2004, maybe? And one of Bill Snyder's good KSU teams beat OU by only a few points several years ago. I remember that was a bonified scare and the Florida game was on the brink of it.
The band rocks the house. I went to some games in Athens just to see them at halftime.

We were there through a lot of the same years. It was rough, but if you drank enough you got through.
Both the Kansas and Florida games were under Brian Knorr, I am almost positive. I do remember the Florida game, because I was trying to watch it out of the corner of my eye at a Damon's while watching
OSU. That would have been a program changing win.
I've been hoping that Solich would bring a giant-killer mentality to Athens, but I think that in order to build that you first have to get to the point where you're regularly hammering your conference foes the way that Boise State, Fresno State and Hawaii do. Still, I like the schedule ambition. The 'cats generally play a real football power every year, unlike the old days when a "big" game was against a medicore Minnesota team or 6-5 WVU, or worse yet, struggling with the Richmond Spiders of the world.
