We’ve been close, oh so close. Who in the name of Pete Cawthon hasn’t invoked the name of Rodney Allison at least once this week?

Rodney is one of us. Down 27-5 to Houston? No problem for Rodney. Some people around me were upset, they booed, and they wanted some type of change. But not us, we still believed. We didn’t get there that day…that year but it didn’t stop us from believing.

It hurt back in those days but we knew it was a matter of time that the hurt would heal. Who knew then it would take at least 32 years?

Rodney told me he thinks about it every day. But again, he’s a Red Raider.

Truth be told, I might think of it that often myself.
