Discovery at the Hotel
The group, all graduates between 1985 and 1990, spotted an 8½ by 11 stapled packet left on a table in the lobby. The cover identified it as belonging to the University of Colorado, and the men passed it around while trying to determine if it was genuine.
Debate Over Next Steps
One member of the group wanted to pass the material along to the Texas Tech side. McFarling expressed caution, recalling past stories of play scripts and worrying about possible tricks. The 25-page packet contained planned plays, red-zone information and tendencies. No coaches were ever contacted, and the friends concluded the details largely matched what scouting already provided.
Outcome on the Field
The information proved to be real. Colorado opened with a 75-yard touchdown drive whose first six plays of the half, plus the first two plays of the second half, matched the packet exactly before an interception. Texas Tech won 29-7, and Colorado's lone score came on that opening possession. The group kept the packet as a memento and plans to gather again for future road games.
