Desert Era revisited

Saturday's loss to Colorado, combined with Texas loss to KSU, is the first time the two teams have come into the game off a loss since 1997, when John Blake and John Mackovic coached the teams.

Let's harken back to other items in the news in 1997, which pretty much affirm the Desert Era.

• Princess Di died. Mother Teresa. For some inexplicable reason, the world seemed more distraught about Princess Di than Mother Teresa.
• Top songs of 1997 were: 1) Candle in the Wind; 2) Foolish Games; 3) I'll be missing you; 4) Unbreak my heart; 5) Can't noboby hold me down.
• Top flicks of 2007: 1) Titanic; 2) Men in Black; 3) The Lost World; 4) Liar, Liar; 5) Air Force One
• Top Book: The Partner, by John Grisham

Pretty much woudn't miss any of that stuff, other than Men In Black. And, I wouldn't mind Johnny Mack being coach of the Horns again.
