Saw it from other side of the field 😀Never gets old.
Loved the ND fan’s “aw !”
Pride goeth before a fall.Kelly couldn't just win the game by kicking a field goal, showed his true colors and got burned....what an idiot!
We said that on the way out of the stadium...Kelly's arrogance lost that game for Notre Dame. TU played a hell of a game though. Remember, just a week or so earlier, Notre Dame played Western Michigan (I think) and they took ND to the brink too.Pride goeth before a fall.
A lot of their fans wanted Kelly gone after that game too. We stayed in Chicago and were at a bar after the game and we still had on some Tulsa gear and the people were friendly but they were all seething about Kelly's management of the game and a good number of them wanted Swarbrick to fire him right then (a feeling many of us had with Monty through the years).That was a great trip, regardless of how mad they were about the band incident, their fans were almost cult like friendly. I wasn't prepared for that.
Have to throw out my four:We said that on the way out of the stadium...Kelly's arrogance lost that game for Notre Dame. TU played a hell of a game though. Remember, just a week or so earlier, Notre Dame played Western Michigan (I think) and they took ND to the brink too.
Probably the 3rd favorite TU event I've attended in person. 1st was the Sweet 16 game vs Arkansas in 1994. 2nd was the OU game in 1996. Maybe the OSU game in 1995 was 4th (21 pt comeback).
Thanks Weather so fun!!!!! Maybe it happens this year again against the Sooners!!!!
Thanks for sharing again. That is always FUN!!!!
Notre Dame & Tulsa did not lose another game the rest of that season, including bowl games.A lot of their fans wanted Kelly gone after that game too.

That is correct. ND went out to the coliseum and beat mighty USC later that year.Notre Dame & Tulsa did not lose another game the rest of that season, including bowl games.
I know but almost losing to Western Michigan followed by losing to Tulsa sent the ardent Hail Mary folks into a tailspin of despair. I'm pretty sure I saw a lot of them cursing at the grotto after the game. But seriously the fans questioned whether or not Swarbrick made a huge mistake and on the heels of the loss and the videographer dying in the accident that week, they wanted Kelly gone, and some wanted him in jail.Notre Dame & Tulsa did not lose another game the rest of that season, including bowl games.
