Yep, it was circulated widely at the time. BYU thumped Baylor 47-13.

I’m talking specifically 1985

Hmmm, OU won national championship that year

7/7/20 5:23pm

My first game in Cougar Stadium, freshman year.

Also, the only other ranked PAC10 team was USC, and UW, lost that game.

I remember the quote
