I watched it in HD on a channel in the 90s (don't remember which one) here in Texas. The UT game game came up next in HD, but as PPV. Didn't want to spend the bucks, so watched UT in SD.
A&M/Fresno St. was definitely the game of the day. It had everything that could happen in a college football game, and a few things that couldn't happen, but did.
