"Prelude to A National Championship"
Top 10 Texas Longhorn games since 1995

Prior to the SEC and Big 12 Championship games I ran a series on this blog counting down the top 5 plays of Georgia and Texas during the 2005 regular seasons. This excited both teams so much that they both stomped on their opponents and won their respective conference titles. In the name of superstition I felt I need to continue the trend for Texas as they prepare to face University of Sucky California in the Rose Bowl. For this one I decided to count down the top 10 games/memories of Texas since I began school there in the fall of 1995. This should provide a nice trip down memory lane for all you Longhorn fans out there.

Number 10:
Texas 51, Texas A&M 15
Friday, November 29, 1996- Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium (Austin, Texas)
In one of the most lopsided games in the storied history of the rivalry, Texas pounded Texas A&M 51-15 to claim the first-ever Big 12 South Division Championship and earn a trip to the inaugural Big 12 Championship game. James Brown turned in one of his finest personal performances as a Longhorn with 336 passing yards and four TDs as Texas won its fifth consecutive game. Ricky Williams added 145 rushing yards and a TD as the Longhorns rolled up 594 yards of offense.
