Wow! Thanks David Walker 'for the Video and infor., didn't know about this page or video! Great Memories!!!!!!!!! Whoop! Proud to be a Graduate in 1976!!!!!!!!!
Watching this brought me back to my 8 year old self. I can see and hear not only the games but my parents..Its a crying shame they have not brought yall back. Maybe with the new HC it will happen.. All the best my friend..
This team was eerily similar to the more recent 2012 squad. Both started a bit slow and finished strong with identical 10-2 records. Both won their bowl game easily. Both finished in the Top 10. The 1976 team changed to David Walker at QB after the second loss and then went on a roll. It would be interesting to compare the two teams position by position. Obviously Johnny Football was a generational talent and would overshadow everyone else. But I would assert that the 1976 team had more overall talent. Lester Hayes had 14 interceptions that year. Tony Franklin kicked several 60+ yard field goals. The backfield featured George Woodard and Curtis Dickey. And the 1976 defense had an abundance of talent.
This was my senior year at A&M. the story was that a fellow coach was asking the Florida coach on advice about which bowl invitation to accept, and the Florida coach told him that he didn't want to play Texas A&M, then his team ended up playing them.
Too bad they did not show the UH game at Rice stadium. I was there for that game. UH’s defense was incredible. Woodard was stupidly used as a decoy all night. The few times he did get the ball, he got stuffed.
I thought those stripes were an Adidas invention. I didn't know that they had 'em at A&M in the 1970's. I guess it was Emory Bellard that brought them to Mississippi State in the 1980's!

It always rained when Ags played Baylor

Me to..UH 21 A&M 10!!
Yes, they didn’t show all the games-excluded the losses.

we were unique. We did all of this after the failure of the great players on the '75 team!
