 In 1967, the team won the Pecan Bowl against the North Dakota Fighting Sioux, the only bowl game in its history.The team was disbanded after the 1985 season due to major financial losses (nearly one million dollars per year) and low home game average attendance (5,600 with 23,100 students).By the end, the program was funded by the university's auxiliary enterprise income while the other 14 sports were under-funded, as football accounted for half the total athletic budget.
