The Photos That Prove JB & Sandy Witnessed History”
“What’s the greatest college football game of all time—and how do you prove you were there?”
In this nostalgic episode of The JB and Sandy Show, we take you back to January 2006, when the Texas Longhorns stunned USC at the Rose Bowl in what many call the best college football game ever played. JB and Sandy were there, side by side, hugging for the first and only time in show history when Vince Young crossed the goal line. But here’s the twist: for nearly 20 years, they had zero photographic evidence. Until now. Hear the incredible story of how a fraternity brother, a Vegas weekend, and a well-organized digital archive unearthed long-lost photos that prove JB and Sandy were part of history. From the joy of rediscovering these snapshots to the hilarious reactions (“JB looks like a small child!”), this episode is packed with laughs, memories, and one jaw-dropping confession from Sandy about a photo that didn’t make the public cut. Spoiler: it involves a stranger and a very questionable pose.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
For the longest, longest time, JB and I have been
really disappointed in ourselves. One we were kind of a
victim of lack of technology, and two we were probably
just not thinking ahead. But back in two thousand and six,
JB and I were at the Longhorn USC National Championship
game at the Rose Bowl, when many people argue and say,
(00:25):
in fact, without a doubt, the greatest college football game
ever played. We were in the stadium, we were next
to each other when Vince scored that touchdown and went ahead,
And it's the only time JB.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
And I have ever hugged. It was the only time
JB and I have ever hugged.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
And JB and I have had a lot of things
to celebrate over the years, you know, some victories here
and there, and a lot of bikes given away.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Never hugged that night. You did.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
But our big complaint was, how in the world do
we not have a single photograph of us that football game.
It's like it never happened without a photograph in today's world.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Right, it wasn't the smartphone, eric quite yet.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
Just before it, you didn't have a camera in your
pocket all the time.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Right, So I am in Las Vegas.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
As I mentioned earlier over the weekend, I'm with my
buddy Marlin, who was a fraternity brother of JB's. This
is a really small world, right, but he was a
fraternity brother of JB's at ut I bought a house
from him in Dallas, and he and I have been friends,
very good friends, since two thousand and one. And all
of a sudden, he just opens his phone up and
he goes, hey, look at this, and it's a photo
(01:36):
of JB and I at.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
The Rose Bowl. You freak out.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
You gotta be kidding me. And it's us standing outside
the Rose Ball. And then he flips to another one
and it's a picture of a group of us at
the Rose Bowl, and then there's another one of us
sitting at a table holding our tickets. And I'm like,
oh my God, send me those right now. And he
sent them to me, and I sent them to JB.
And I'm like, look proof we did exist at that game. Yeah,
(02:02):
finally have photos. That's so incredible.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
I couldn't believe it. And we were then we of course,
we were trying to figure out how did you do that?
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Marlin? You know, I was like, well, obviously you had
a digital camera.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Right right, and that era, the pocket sized digital camera
was a thing.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Right, Yeah, and then he just put him on his
on his phone. But Tricia couldn't believe the photos, and
especially uh. She was like, you look exactly the same,
Sandy saying, it looks exactly the same.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
JB. You look like a small child. Oh my god,
you look so young.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
Well when I saw it, I was like, hey, we're
aging pretty well.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Well, yeah, I know, y'all.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
Both look great, but I'm just saying, you looked so young,
Like I don't remember you looking like that.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
I knew you then, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
I think I was. I was bike racing a lot,
super skinny at that time.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Yeah, you were in great shape. I was not. It's
it's a very very.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Cool cool but yeah, you you look way healthier today
than you did in January of six.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Like, that's going to make you feel good, right, Oh?
Speaker 1 (03:07):
It does. It makes me feel really good. That's that's
what ten years, almost ten years of not drinking will
do for you. God only knows what I'd look like otherwise.
But I'm just so happy that we have those pictures,
and I now have them in three safe spots in
the cloud that can always. In fact, I'm gonna get
one of them printed into a canvas from Walgreens. Do
(03:30):
you want one, JB? It'll look great in your house.
Pig picture of me and you. I love it, And
then I'm gonna have some kid making lego set out
of it. But it's just one of those weird things
that I mean, twenty years later the photos surface. Everybody's
got a friend like that, like my I wrote back
(03:53):
to JB, and I go marvelin the historian. He's got
pictures of everything, and they're really well organized.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Yeah, I don't remember to take pictures, and it's not
like he took the pictures after let's remember this historic moment.
Those pictures are from before. Yeah, before the game. Yes,
we have no idea. We thought we were gonna get
run over. Everyone thought.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Now I do have to confess. I did not send
you guys one certain picture their naked girl in it. No,
but it's kind of bad. Why it's not bad of JB.
It's bad of me.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
And I'll just own it because it's probably gonna come out.
It's a picture. You know what I'm gonna do. I'm
gonna send this to you. I'm gonna text this to
both of you guys, so you can get I can
get an honest reaction because of my behavior in this
photograph is pretty typical of me back then. But hold on,
let me just text it over to you guys, and
(04:53):
I want everyone to hear the reaction of what I'm
doing in this photo. All right, I just sent it.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Knew it, Okay, I almost said it out loud.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
And I didn't. We're dating you then? Oh we were? Yes,
we're dating. Someone tells tell the listener what I was doing.
You're holding a random girl's boob.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
You grabbed a girl's boob, and do you know that girl?
Speaker 2 (05:24):
I don't know who she is. Ji standing right behind me.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
We're standing there like we're posing for a picture for
the three of us. Maybe a listener from Austin. The
Rose Bowl is clearly behind us. We're one hundred and
fifty feet from the Rose Bowl and she's posing for
a picture. And Sandy apparently when they said three two one,
which he used to do more often with photos, just
reached over and cup her boob.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Jamie, I can't tell if you're endorsing it or you
had no idea.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
I had no idea. No clue that's going on.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Man com Hey, it's sandy for kingof and it's October
in Central Texas. That means some cooler weather, it means costumes,
and for most people, October means tricks or treats. But
for my friends Scott and Stacy Feller and their team
at Kangaroof, October is like every other month.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
It's all treats, no tricks.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
You see Scott and Stacy great people who've been serving
our part of the world for more than twenty five years.
They're Central Texas trusted. They're a great choice for a
local roofing company, and all for a great reason. Whether
it's installs, repairs, whatever, they do great work and they
always stand behind it. Kngar's roof process very professional. You'll
always know where you stand and what's happening with your project.
(06:38):
