re: Great players that for some reason sucked against your team

There was a span of 6 years in the late 80's where A&M played 5 Heisman winners.

We owned them every time (well, sort of).

'85 - Bo (Actually 1986 Cotton Bowl): OK, he was still offensive MVP, but we won going away and stopped him twice on 4th down in last quarter.

'87 - Tim Brown (Actually 1988 Cotton Bowl): The In-Timmy-dation game where he lost his cool at the end and was ejected in a blow out.

'88 - Barry Sanders: We held him to his 2nd lowest yardage of the season. OK, it was still something like 165 yards, and we lost by 37, but we sucked a lot less than most.

'89 - Andre Ware: The Run & Shoot meets the Blitz & Destroy (Slocum's words). UH came in undefeated and averaging about 92 points a game. We won 17-13 and sacked Ware 6 times, including once that looked like he was decapitated.

'90 - Ty Detmer: BYU complains that they deserve a better bowl opponent than A&M. We win 65-14 (and it was not that close) and separate BOTH of his shoulders.
