Best GT Game Ever???

The Poll results are final and your vote was this year's victory over Duke at Cameron, ending their 41 game home winning streak. In 2nd place was our 1955 victory over Kentucky, ending their 129 game home winning streak. Sorry, but the 1955 victory is hands down the biggest victory in our history. The problem of course is that none of us really remember it - nothing on TV, etc, etc. The Duke victory is fresh, was exciting and everyone remembers it.
