The date of December 6, 1969, celebrates an event etched in the memory of Texas Longhorn fans throughout the world. This event is, of course, the celebrated “Shootout” that occurred between the football teams of the Universities of Texas and Arkansas, held in Fayetteville before a national television audience and, incidentally, then-President Richard Nixon. Because Jake is Austin’s congressman at the time, he is invited, along with several other Washington legislators, to accompany President Nixon on Air Force One to witness the big game.
