I have to tell you a quick story. I have always liked Washington State. Here is why. I went to the game against them in 1980. I had to look up the score because I didn't remember it. What I do remember is that their cheerleaders were waiting around outside a gate to get in way before the game. I had to get there early because I sold hot dogs. Any, to make a short story long, those ladies had the shortest skirts I have ever seen. I was 15 at the time. I don't remember the score, but I do remember those ladies. Vividly. Let's go, Cougars!!

November 17, 1968
The Heidi Game
The Raiders took on the NY Jets on November 17, 1968. With the Jets up by 3 with 65 seconds left, NBC switched away from the game to its scheduled programming - the children's movie Heidi - and TV viewers never saw the Raiders emerge victoriously.

What They Missed: Play-by-Play​

  • With 65 seconds remaining in the game, the Jets kicked a field goal to take 32-29 lead. Jets kicked off and the Raiders returned the ball to their own 23-yard line.
  • At Raiders' 23-yard line, Raiders QB Daryle Lamonica completed a 20-yard pass to HB Charlie Smith, who was facemasked by Jets S Mike D'Amato. The penalty put the ball at the Jets 43.
  • Lamonica found Smith again, who outraced D'Amato down the sideline for a 43-yard touchdown. The extra point gave the Raiders a 36-32 lead with 42 seconds to play.
  • On the kickoff, Jets kick returner Earl Christy fumbled the ball. It was picked up at the two-yard line by Raiders special teamer Preston Ridlehuber, who ran it in for a touchdown.
  • The Raiders scored two touchdowns in a nine-second span and held on to win a most memorable game, 43-32.

I didn't see the game. I was 3. However, it is a cool story, brah and the Raiders won.
 
There is yet another scape goat in an allegedly "unrelated" violation that most have forgotten about.

One of many streaks I’ve hated. Tennessee hasn’t played a soft No. 1 in ages. Every time they’ve played one in recent decades, that team has had elite, deep talent and was playing at an extremely high level. And given we play Georgia and Alabama every year, it’s allowed this streak to be quite long…
