At the 1989 John Hancock Bowl (1989 Sun Bowl) between Texas A&M and Pitt, we had a Heidi Game moment on our hands, where no one was able to watch the ending to the game, because the network cut away too early to show something else. And this time, it's all about El Paso, a Mexican television station (WHCH Juarez), and one of the weirdest broadcasting decisions you're ever going to see that prevented fans from witnessing a great comeback. This is the story behind the 1989 Sun Bowl between Pitt and Texas A&M, and college football's version of the Heidi Game.
