I remember during Billy Ray's senior season when we played Texas A&M in College Station. Late in the game Billy Ray got lose from a blocker and came around the left side and completely blind-sided A&M Quarterback Gary Kubiak. Yes, now you remember????? Just about the hardest hit I've seen in a college game! Kubiak lost the ball and I think Billy Ray might have recovered it. It was awesome and the hogs went on to win the game because of it. Great times in Arkansas. S. E. Gilley |
