1992 Queensland storms
The 1992 Queensland storms were a series of thunderstorms which struck southeastern Queensland, Australia on 29 November 1992. The storms produced strong winds, flash flooding and large hailstones in the region, including the capital city of Brisbane. The storms also spawned two of the most powerful tornadoes recorded in Australia, including the only Australian tornado to be given an official 'F4' classification on the Fujita scale.


1992 Queensland storms
The meteorological instability in the region resulted in the formation of at least five supercell thunderstorms in the space of around three hours. The storms, which spawned progressively further up the coast from Brisbane to Gladstone as the afternoon progressed, left a trail of damage resulting from hail, rain and wind. The event has been described as "one of the most widespread outbreaks of severe thunderstorms recorded" by veteran meteorologist Richard Whitaker.


1992 Queensland storms, Climatology and conditions
November is traditionally the start of the thunderstorm season along the eastern seaboard of Australia, with a rise in average humidity and warmer ground temperatures combining with more frequent occurrences of cool air in the upper atmosphere. These conditions are conducive for producing severe thunderstorms, particularly those which feature hail.


1992 Queensland storms, Climatology and conditions
The conditions on Sunday, 29 November were extremely unsettled. There were a series of thunderstorm cells that formed early in the morning — despite it being more common for thunderstorms to form in the late afternoon in the south-east Queensland region. These storms, which had periodic bursts of severe lightning, cleared quickly.


1992 Queensland storms, Climatology and conditions
Thunderstorms began to form again just before midday, as the hot and humid conditions became more acute in the middle part of the day. The Bureau of Meteorology radar picked up a series of cells to the north-west of Brisbane, the capital of Queensland, and the data suggested that there was a possibility of large hail. The Bureau immediately issued a Severe Thunderstorm Warning for the coastal region between Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast, 100 km to the north.


1992 Queensland storms, Climatology and conditions
The main cell in the thunderstorm system appeared from Bureau of Meteorology radar analysis to split into two separate and distinct cells. This development resulted in one part of the major storm to head north, to Maroochydore, while the other part headed south towards Brisbane. The southern cell struck Brisbane just after 1:00pm, with intense lightning activity and hailstones the size of marbles falling. The storm caused a lengthy delay during the First Test of the series between Australia and the West Indies, when hail forced play to be stopped at the Brisbane Cricket Ground around 1:15pm.


1992 Queensland storms, Climatology and conditions
The northern cell continued to intensify throughout the afternoon. The Bureau of Meteorology then recognised it as a supercell, which often bring erratic developments and often last for long periods of time. The storm dropped hailstones which were between eight and ten centimeters around Maroochydore, on the Sunshine Coast, damaging the roofs of around 80 houses in the area. The hail also damaged aircraft at a local airport and dented cars, as well as inflicting injuries to a handful of swimmers at beaches near Maroochydore.


1992 Queensland storms, Tornadoes
The extreme instability in this area caused at least three more severe supercells in the region. Two separate cells both produced a tornado that were recorded as two of the most powerful in Australian history. The third supercell, which formed just after 3:00pm (immediately after the two tornadoes) near Gladstone, produced golf ball-sized hail that caused crop damage around Gladstone. The total damage to crops from the event was placed in the millions (A$).


1992 Queensland storms, Tornadoes, Oakhurst tornado
Early in the afternoon, another supercell developed around the town of Maryborough, around 300 km north of Brisbane. It developed rapidly also, and at 2:30pm a number of reports sent to the Bureau of Meteorology reported a tornado had touched down in Oakhurst, a rural area 10 km west of Maryborough. However, due to the low population density in the area the reported damage was sparse, with one house destroyed, several others unroofed and hundreds of trees were snapped.


1992 Queensland storms, Tornadoes, Oakhurst tornado
Upon investigation and analysis of measurements and the damage caused by the tornado, it was given a rating of 'F3' on the Fujita scale. This was one of the most powerful tornadoes ever recorded in Australia, and the scale indicated the tornado may have produced winds of between 252 and 300 kilometres per hour.


1992 Queensland storms, Tornadoes, Bucca tornado
Only minutes after the Oakhurst tornado, another supercell developed to the south-west of Bundaberg, around 400 km north of Brisbane and 150 km north of the Oakhurst tornado. It strengthened and moved in a north-east direction, causing severe damage to Bullyard and Bucca areas with giant hailstones, described as the size of a "cricket ball".


1992 Queensland storms, Tornadoes, Bucca tornado
The supercell then spawned a tornado in the Bucca and Kolan area. According to reports by meteorologists, the tornado was so strong and the effects caused on the area it hit were so extreme that household appliances were displaced, small objects were embedded in trees and house walls, and "a 3-tonne truck body was carried 300 metres across the ground". However, as with Oakhurst, the rural nature of the area affected limited the damage caused by the tornado.


1992 Queensland storms, Tornadoes, Bucca tornado
Examination by a severe weather team from the Bureau of Meteorology examined the damage in the Bucca and Kolan region and recorded it as an 'F4' on the Fujita scale. This corresponds to the tornado being able to produce winds between 331 and 417 kilometres per hour and of 'devastating' intensity. This is the first tornado ever to be recorded as an F4 in Australian history.

1992 Renfrew District Council election
Elections to the Renfrew District Council took place in May 1992, alongside elections to the councils of Scotland's various other districts.


1992 Republic of the Congo constitutional referendum
A constitutional referendum was held in the Republic of the Congo on 15 March 1992. The new constitution created a presidential republic with a bicameral parliament and a division of powers between the two. It was approved by 96% of voters with a 70.9% turnout.


1992 Republic of the Congo parliamentary election
Parliamentary elections were held in the Republic of the Congo in 1992, along with a presidential election, marking the end of the transition to multiparty politics. The election was held in two rounds, the first on 24 June 1992 and the second on 19 July 1992. The Pan-African Union for Social Democracy (UPADS)—led by Pascal Lissouba, who won the presidential election—won a plurality of seats (39), while the Congolese Movement for Democracy and Integral Development (MCDDI) of second place presidential candidate Bernard Kolélas won the second highest number of seats (29). Following in third place was the Congolese Labor Party (PCT), which had been the ruling party during single-party rule.


1992 Republic of the Congo parliamentary election
The PCT backed Lissouba at the time of the election, giving the pro-Lissouba National Alliance for Democracy (AND) coalition a slight parliamentary majority (64 out of 125 seats). However, when Lissouba gave the PCT only three posts in the 28-member government he appointed in September 1992, the PCT (which wanted one-third of the portfolios) broke with Lissouba and instead allied with the Union for Democratic Renewal (URD) opposition coalition, which was led by Kolélas. This defection deprived Lissouba of his majority.


1992 Republic of the Congo parliamentary election
With an opposition majority in the National Assembly, the PCT's André Mouélé was elected as President of the National Assembly on September 24; the PCT and the URD formally signed an alliance on September 30. The opposition majority rejected the government appointed by Lissouba, which was led by Prime Minister Stéphane Maurice Bongho-Nouarra, in a vote of no confidence on October 31, and it demanded the appointment of a new Prime Minister from the parliamentary majority, as required by the constitution. Rather than do so, Lissouba dissolved the National Assembly.


1992 Republic of the Congo parliamentary election
The URD and PCT protested this, and despite Lissouba's desire to leave Bongho-Nouarra in office during the interim period leading to a new election, he agreed under pressure to appoint a coalition government in which 60% of the posts were held by the URD and PCT (the "60/40" government of Prime Minister Claude Antoine Dacosta). Six months later, a new parliamentary election was held in June 1993.


1992 Republic of the Congo presidential election
Presidential elections were held in the Republic of the Congo in August 1992, marking the end of the transitional period that began with the February–June 1991 National Conference. It was won by Pascal Lissouba of the Pan-African Union for Social Democracy (UPADS), who defeated Bernard Kolélas of the Congolese Movement for Democracy and Integral Development (MCDDI) in a second round of voting.


1992 Republic of the Congo presidential election
In the first round, held on 8 August, Lissouba, who had served as Prime Minister in the 1960s, placed first with 36% of the vote, outperforming Kolélas, an opposition figure since the 1960s, who won 20%, and Denis Sassou-Nguesso of the former ruling party, the Congolese Labor Party (PCT), who won 17%. Sassou-Nguesso had been President since 1979 but only in a ceremonial capacity since the National Conference.


1992 Republic of the Congo presidential election
Prime Minister André Milongo, who led the country during the transition but whose government had lost its responsibility for organizing the election after the local election of May 1992 proved controversial, ran as an independent candidate and placed fourth with 10%. Two former leading figures of the PCT, Jean-Pierre Thystère Tchicaya of the Rally for Democracy and Social Progress (RDPS) and Joachim Yhombi-Opango of the Rally for Democracy and Development (RDD), placed fifth and sixth with 6% and 3% respectively.


1992 Republic of the Congo presidential election
In the first round, Lissouba enjoyed overwhelming support in the three regions collectively known as Nibolek—Niari (88.7%), Bouenza (80.6%), and Lékoumou (91.7%). Kolélas won a first round majority only in the Pool Region (64.4%), although he also won a plurality in Brazzaville, the capital (29.9%). Sassou-Nguesso dominated the north, winning first round majorities in Plateaux (57.6%) and Likouala (58.5%) and pluralities in Cuvette (47.9%) and Sangha (41.9%). Tchicaya and Yhombi-Opango made strong showings in certain regions—the former won 28% of the vote (behind Lissouba's 40%) in Kouilou Region, which includes Pointe-Noire, the country's second largest city, and the latter won 27% of the vote in Cuvette Region.


1992 Republic of the Congo presidential election
With Sassou-Nguesso's support, Lissouba defeated Kolélas in the second round with 61% of the vote. Lissouba won all regions in the second round except Brazzaville, Pool, and Kouilou.


1992 Republic of the Congo presidential election, Results
The official number of valid votes cast in the first round was reported to be 785,981, 1,900 higher than the total of votes received by each candidate. Voter turnout was reported to be 59.6% based on this figure.


1992 Republican National Convention
The 1992 Republican National Convention was held in the Astrodome in Houston, Texas, from August 17 to August 20, 1992. The convention nominated President George H. W. Bush and Vice President Dan Quayle for reelection. It was Bush's fourth consecutive appearance as a candidate on a major party ticket; only Bush and Franklin D. Roosevelt have been nominated on four consecutive presidential tickets. Richard Nixon and Roosevelt were nominated five times, but not consecutively.


1992 Republican National Convention, Venue
The convention was held in Houston's Astrodome. To accommodate the convention and its set-up, the Houston Astros, the Major League Baseball team which played at the Astrodome, played 26 consecutive away games over 28 days, the longest Major League Baseball "road trip" since the Philadelphia Phillies played 27 away games in 28 days in 1944. Additionally, the National Football League's Houston Oilers would also be forced to play all their preseason games on the road.

For the convention, the stadium was arranged to seat 36,000 people.


1992 Republican National Convention, Overview
The convention is notable in that it featured the last major address of the long political career of former President Ronald Reagan, Bush's predecessor. In his speech, Reagan told Americans that:


1992 Republican National Convention, Overview
Whatever else history may say about me when I'm gone, I hope it will record that I appealed to your best hopes, not your worst fears, to your confidence rather than your doubts. My dream is that you will travel the road ahead with liberty's lamp guiding your steps and opportunity's arm steadying your way. My fondest hope for each one of you—and especially for the young people here—is that you will love your country, not for her power or wealth, but for her selflessness and her idealism. May each of you have the heart to conceive, the understanding to direct, and the hand to execute works that will make the world a little better for your having been here.


1992 Republican National Convention, Overview
As the economy was in a recession and domestic affairs in general had dramatically decayed, the GOP lagged in the polls by double digits behind the Bill Clinton–Al Gore Democratic ticket after a successful Democratic Convention, and with Ross Perot temporarily out of the race, the Republican Party worked hard to rally its base of social conservatives. Pat Buchanan's opening night "Culture War" speech argued that a great battle of values was taking place in the United States. Republican National Committee chairman Rich Bond (referring to Democrats) claimed that "we are America, they are not America."


1992 Republican National Convention, Overview
Marilyn Quayle dismissed Bill Clinton's claim to a new generation of leadership by saying, "Not everyone demonstrated, dropped out, took drugs, joined in the sexual revolution or dodged the draft." Regarding Buchanan's speech, liberal humorist Molly Ivins quipped that it "probably sounded better in the original German."


1992 Republican National Convention, Overview
Twenty years after the convention, the New York Times wrote, "Supporters of Mr. Bush pointed to the tone of the convention as one of the reasons he lost re-election that November to Bill Clinton," as it centered more on Reagan-era values and Bush's international credentials at a time that the main issue was the domestic crisis. The fact that the now-infamous "No new taxes" pledge had haunted the President for the last three years, the economy was barely mentioned.


1992 Republican National Convention, Overview
AIDS activist Mary Fisher, who has HIV, addressed the convention, making an eloquent plea for her cause. (She also addressed the 1996 RNC). Her 1992 speech was listed as #50 in American Rhetoric's Top 100 Speeches of the 20th Century (listed by rank).

1992 Republican National Convention, Overview
The stadium banned outside food from the convention, but set up a food court in the nearby Astroarena. The food court operations included Atchafalaya River Cafe, Bambolino's, Frenchy's, Luther's Bar-B-Q, Ninfa's, PeaColes, and Tommy's Burgers. Some restaurant owners had connections with the Houston Host Committee, the group in charge of the vendor market of the Astroarena, and Republican Party officials. The hot dogs and soft drinks sold by the Astrodome's official caterer, Harry M. Stevens, were not present during the convention. Vendors at the convention paid Stevens a fee so they could sell food at the convention, as specified in Stevens' contract with the Astrodome.


1992 Republican National Convention, Aftermath
The convention energized the Republican base, giving the Bush-Quayle ticket a bounce in the polls. As the bounce faded, the race returned to a lopsided double-digit Clinton–Gore lead. The race narrowed considerably, however, when Ross Perot rebooted his insurgent campaign.


1992 Republican National Convention, Aftermath
The major parties have avoided hosting their conventions at baseball stadiums since then, now holding them in non sports venues (such as convention centers) and venues for teams whose seasons are not currently in play at the time of the convention.


1992 Republican Party presidential primaries
Presidential primaries and caucuses of the Republican Party took place within all 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia between February 18 to June 9, 1992. These elections were designed to select the 2,277 delegates to send to the national convention in Houston, Texas from August 17 to August 20, 1992, who selected the Republican Party's nominee for president in the 1992 United States presidential election, incumbent president George H. W. Bush. The delegates also approved the party platform and vice-presidential nominee. Bush went on to lose the general election to the Democratic nominee, Governor Bill Clinton.


1992 Republican Party presidential primaries, Primary race overview
President George H. W. Bush was challenged by conservative commentator Pat Buchanan, and during the early counting of the votes at the New Hampshire primary, it appeared that the President might actually lose. However, Buchanan faded by the end of the evening, and Bush won all the rest of the primaries. Bush's margins in many of the primaries were not as large as expected, and led to the rise of Ross Perot as an independent candidate.


1992 Republican Party presidential primaries, Primary race overview
Republican Louisiana State Representative and former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke also ran in a number of primaries, but he did not receive any delegates. Former Governor Harold Stassen of Minnesota also made a quixotic bid for support in the Minnesota primary, winning enough votes to entitle him to one delegate, but was later denied his single vote by machinations at the Minnesota Republican Party's 1992 state convention.


1992 Republican Party presidential primaries, Primary race overview, New Hampshire primary
As Buchanan's candidacy relied heavily on a strong showing in the New Hampshire primary, President Bush made New Hampshire a focal point in his reelection bid. However, New Hampshire still remained a pivotal base for Buchanan's Primary campaign.


1992 Republican Party presidential primaries, Primary race overview, New Hampshire primary
Because Bush was widely perceived to have broken his "read my lips" pledge, Buchanan found support in the economically battered and conservative state of New Hampshire. Making Bush's tax-hikes a central theme of his campaign, Buchanan enjoyed healthy grass-roots support despite lagging behind the President in pre-primary polling.


1992 Republican Party presidential primaries, Primary race overview, New Hampshire primary
Bush countered the threat posed by Buchanan by touring New Hampshire himself. He memorably told an audience at an Exeter town hall: "Message: I care". Some sources claim that this was the result of Bush mistakenly reading a cue card aloud.


1992 Republican Party presidential primaries, Primary race overview, New Hampshire primary
On Primary night, President Bush carried New Hampshire with 53% of the vote. Buchanan finished second with 38% of the vote.


1992 Republican Party presidential primaries, Primary race overview, The rest of the race
Despite many in the Bush campaign attempting to push Buchanan out of the race, the strong showing made the Buchanan campaign hope for an outpouring of campaign contributions which galvanized the campaign into making efforts to pull out strong showings such as in the Georgia primary.


1992 Republican Party presidential primaries, Primary race overview, The rest of the race
Despite an impressive showing, Buchanan's campaign never attracted serious opposition to President Bush in most contests. Most of Buchanan's "victories" were larger-than-expected showings that were still considered landslide Bush wins by most of the media. Still, the fact that Buchanan received more than two million votes nationwide prognosticated trouble for Bush in the general election.


1992 Rhode Island Rams football team
The 1992 Rhode Island Rams football team was an American football team that represented the University of Rhode Island in the Yankee Conference during the 1992 NCAA Division I-AA football season. In their 17th and final season under head coach Bob Griffin, the Rams compiled a 1–10 record (0–8 against conference opponents) and finished last out of nine teams in the conference.


1992 Rhode Island gubernatorial election
The 1992 Rhode Island gubernatorial election was held on November 3, 1992. Incumbent Democrat Bruce Sundlun defeated Republican nominee Elizabeth A. Leonard with 61.55% of the vote. This was the last time that a Democrat was re-elected as Governor of Rhode Island before Gina Raimondo won a second term in 2018.


1992 Rice Owls football team
The 1992 Rice Owls football team was an American football team that represented Rice University in the Southwest Conference during the 1992 NCAA Division I-A football season. In their fourth year under head coach Fred Goldsmith, the team compiled a 6–5 record.

1992 Roermond earthquake
The 1992 Roermond earthquake occurred on 13 April, around 3:20 AM (1:20 UTC) with a moment magnitude of 5.3 and a maximum Mercalli intensity of VIII (Severe). Striking on the Peel Boundary Fault, a normal fault near Roermond, it was the strongest recorded earthquake in the Netherlands and in Northwestern Europe, and caused substantial damage to older buildings in the Netherlands and adjacent countries of Belgium and Germany. A series of aftershocks followed.


1992 Roermond earthquake, Tectonic setting
The city of Roermond lies above the Roer Graben, which forms the southeastern part of the Lower Rhine Graben (or Lower Rhine Embayment). These structures form part of the European Cenozoic Rift System, which formed within the foreland of the Alpine orogeny. The Roer graben formed during the Paleogene and is currently active as shown by the thickening of Quaternary sedimentary rocks into the basin. The graben is bounded by NW-SE trending normal fault systems, with the largest fault being the southwest-dipping Peel Boundary Fault, which displaces the base of the Quaternary sequence by about 175 m. All the major faults show evidence of neotectonics.


1992 Roermond earthquake, Location
The earthquake's focal mechanism showed almost pure normal faulting on a plane dipping southwest at 68°, identified as the Peel Boundary Fault. The epicentre of the earthquake lay kilometers away from the south of Roermond.


1992 Roermond earthquake, Intensity
The earthquake was recorded as 5.8 on the Richter magnitude scale (5.3 on the moment magnitude scale) and a maximum intensity of VII (Very strong) on the Mercalli intensity scale.


1992 Roermond earthquake, Intensity
An intensity of VII means people have difficulty standing, drivers feel their cars shaking, some furniture breaks and loose bricks fall from buildings. Damage is slight to moderate in well-built buildings; considerable in poorly built buildings. The earthquake was not evenly spread as some areas were hit harder than others. This earthquake could be felt as far away as the Czech Republic, Switzerland, France and England.


1992 Roermond earthquake, Damage
In the regions between Roermond, Maaseik (Belgium), and Heinsberg (Germany), buildings, especially old buildings, and cars were destroyed. Two churches in Roermond, the Munsterkerk and Minderbroederskerk, were heavily damaged. The economic cost of the earthquake was estimated to be around 275 million guilders (around 125 million euros), of which 170 million guilders (around 77 million euros) of damage in the Netherlands.


1992 Romanian general election
General elections were held in Romania on 27 September 1992, with a second round of the presidential election on 11 October. They were the first held after the adoption of a permanent constitution via a referendum held the previous winter.


1992 Romanian general election
Incumbent Ion Iliescu led the field in the first round, but was forced into a runoff with Emil Constantinescu, candidate of the oppositional Romanian Democratic Convention (CDR). Constantinescu ran on a quicker transition to a market economy and purging remaining Communist influence from the government. He benefited from a marked downturn in Iliescu's popularity tied to both high unemployment and concerns that Iliescu was wavering in his commitment to democracy.


1992 Romanian general election
Despite this, opinion polls ahead of the runoff suggested that Iliescu was favoured for a second full term. Not only was it believed that his 16-point first-round lead was too large for Constantinescu to overcome, but most of the minor candidates were expected to throw their support to Iliescu. In the end, Iliescu was reelected with 61 percent of the vote.


1992 Romanian general election
In the parliamentary election, Iliescu's Democratic National Salvation Front (FDSN), which had split off from the National Salvation Front (FSN) earlier in the year, emerged as the largest party in Parliament, winning 117 of the 341 seats in the Chamber of Deputies and 49 of the 143 seats in the Senate.

1992 Rose Bowl, Pre-game activities
On October 22, 1991, the Tournament of Roses selected 17-year-old Tannis Ann Turrentine, a senior at Mayfield Senior School and a resident of Pasadena, as the 74th Rose Queen of the 103rd Tournament of Roses. The 1991–92 Tournament of Roses Royal Court was led by the reigning Rose Queen with six rose princesses: Laurie Fortier, San Marino; Malia Herndon, Altadena; Erin Christine Mispagel, Pasadena; Mia Rodinella, Pasadena; Kristen Colleen Russell, La Canada Flintridge; and Melissa Ann Tyson, Pasadena.


1992 Rose Bowl, Game summary
After a scoreless first quarter, a 7–7 tie in the second, and 13–7 Husky advantage at halftime, the 1992 game became the most lopsided contest between two top-5 teams in Rose Bowl history. Trailing 34–7, a late Michigan touchdown against Husky reserves closed the gap in the final score to 20 points. With a minute remaining and the third-string quarterback leading the offense, Washington opted to run out the clock from the Michigan five-yard line, rather than run up the score.


1992 Rose Bowl, Game summary
This was the first Rose Bowl since the beginning of the Big Ten–Pacific 10 (originally the Pacific Coast Conference) contract that officials from a neutral conference (in this case, the Southeastern Conference) were used. From 1947 through 1991, a split crew of Big Ten and Pac-10 (Pac-8/AAWU/PCC; now Pac-12) officials were used.


1992 Rose Bowl, Game summary
From 1984, the first year a seven-man officiating crew was used, through 1991, the conference of the designated home team provided the referee, back judge, one wing official on the line of scrimmage (head linesman or line judge) and one deep wing official (field judge or side judge), and the other conference provided the umpire, one wing official on the line of scrimmage and one deep wing official. The Rose Bowl was the last bowl to use split officiating crews; most bowl games abandoned them in favor of neutral officials in the 1970s, although the Orange Bowl used a split crew from the SEC and Big Ten for its 1978 game.


1992 Rose Bowl, Game summary
Split crews were banned by the NCAA starting in 1999.

1992 Ross Perot vice presidential candidate selection
This article lists running mates considered by Ross Perot during his 1992 independent candidacy for President of the United States. On March 30, 1992, Perot announced that retired Vice Admiral James Stockdale would serve as his "interim" running mate, so that Perot could qualify for the ballot in several states. At the time, Perot planned to pick a permanent running mate during the summer, around the time of the 1992 Democratic National Convention and the 1992 Republican National Convention. Perot suspended his campaign during the summer of 1992, possibly preventing him from choosing a different running mate.

1992 Rugby League World Cup Final, Host venue
However, in the interests of rugby league and although they were confident of a sell-out if the game was held in Australia after capacity crowds attended all three Ashes Series tests earlier in the year against Great Britain, with the potential for a much larger attendance since at the time Lang Park in Brisbane could only hold 32,500, and the Sydney Football Stadium could only seat 42,500, the Australian Rugby League (ARL) agreed to the Rugby Football League (RFL) hosting the final at the 82,000 capacity Wembley Stadium in London.


1992 Rugby League World Cup Final, Match details, First half
The first half of the World Cup Final was a tight affair. The Lions took the lead early thanks to a penalty goal from Deryck Fox after a spilled bomb in front of the posts by debuting Kangaroos fullback Tim Brasher. Fox put up an attacking bomb and Brasher was tackled by Lions fullback Joe Lydon as he attempted to catch the ball. From there Steve Renouf dived on the loose ball that was only 2 metres in front of the posts and was ruled to be offside. From then on Fox and Kangaroos captain Mal Meninga traded penalty goals until the half with Great Britain going into the break with a 6–4 lead.


1992 Rugby League World Cup Final, Match details, First half
Great Britain were lucky to have a full complement on the field from about the 20 minute mark of the final after hooker Martin Dermott had caught Australian five-eighth Brad Fittler with an elbow to the face. However Dermott was cautioned by referee Hale rather than sent off. While Meninga kicked a penalty goal, Fittler went to the sidelines where he was cleared of serious injury and returned to the game without being replaced. At half time, Kangaroos doctor Nathan Gibbs diagnosed a hairline fracture of his cheek bone, but cleared him to play on.

Great Britain wasn't without its own problems though. Early in the first half fullback Joe Lydon picked up an ankle injury and he would be eventually replaced by Alan Tait in the second half. The Lions would also lose centre Gary Connolly to a leg injury which would see him replaced by a former Welsh rugby union international, John Devereux.


1992 Rugby League World Cup Final, Match details, Second half
Into the second half the match was becoming a struggle with neither team seriously threatening the others line. The closest either team came to scoring was when Australian winger Willie Carne looked to have scored in the corner but the final pass from Meninga was ruled forward. The home side were still leading 6–4 with only 12 minutes remaining.


1992 Rugby League World Cup Final, Match details, Second half
The only try of the match was then set up by Australian replacement back Kevin Walters who, with a clever cut-out pass, put his Brisbane Broncos teammate Steve Renouf into a gap not covered by replacement Lions centre John Devereux (Walters had replaced lock forward Bradley Clyde who left the field with a dislocated shoulder). Renouf, in his debut test for Australia, then raced 20 metres to score in the corner. Meninga's sideline conversion of Renouf's try gave Australia what would be a match winning 10–6 lead. The rain started pouring midway through the second half and Australia was able to hold Great Britain out and maintain their lead until the final siren.

During the regular season, the Chargers lost all four of their games against eventual playoff teams, though they did defeat Kansas City 17–0 at Jack Murphy Stadium in the Wild Card round. In the Divisional Playoffs, they were emphatically beaten by the Miami Dolphins, being eliminated by a 31–0 scoreline.


1992 San Diego Chargers season, Offseason, Head coaching change
Dan Henning, the Chargers' head coach for the past three seasons, was fired by general manager Bobby Beathard on December 23, 1991, the day after the Chargers completed a 4–12 campaign. Henning had gone 16–32 during his tenure; his entire staff of assistants were also dismissed.


1992 San Diego Chargers season, Offseason, Head coaching change
On December 22, Beathard had denied rumours that Georgia Tech head coach Bobby Ross was already set to be installed as Henning's replacement. Nonetheless, Ross remained among the favorites for the role. On December 25, Georgia Tech won the Aloha Bowl by a single point; Ross interviewed for the Chargers job on 30 Dec, and unveiled as head coach on January 2, 1992. Ross' five-year stint in Georgia had seen the Yellow Jackets win a share of the National Championship in 1990. His accomplishments with the Chargers over the next five seasons would earn him a place in their Hall of Fame.


1992 San Diego Chargers season, Offseason, Head coaching change
Ross appointed Bill Arnsparger as defensive coordinator after Beathard arranged a meeting. Arnsparger, an NFL coach from 1964 to 1983, had been acting as the University of Florida's athletic director. In the early 70s, he had won two Super Bowls with Miami as a defensive coordinator, running their "No-Name" defense, and faced San Diego in the same role in the Epic in Miami a decade later. Arnsparger installed a 4–3 defense, a switch from the 3–4 alignment preferred by his predecessor Ron Lynn.


1992 San Diego Chargers season, Offseason, Head coaching change
Other coaching appointees included numerous assistants Ross brought with him from Georgia Tech. Ralph Friedgen, who had also been with Ross in his previous job at Maryland, was installed as running game coordinator and tight ends coach; the post of offensive coordinator went unfilled until Friedgen was promoted to it two seasons later.


1992 San Diego Chargers season, Offseason, Departures
For the second consecutive year, the Chargers lost 11 players through Plan B free agency. These included Sam Seale, who had started every game at cornerback in 1991, defensive end George Hinkle, a starter in 13 games, and Kitrick Taylor, who had served as both a receiver and punt returner. Safety Anthony Shelton was injured during training camp, had shoulder surgery and missed the entire season, while H-Back Craig McEwen was waived; neither played in the NFL again.


1992 San Diego Chargers season, Offseason, Departures
An well-established name on the defensive line also departed, after failing to come to contract terms with the Chargers. Joe Phillips had been the Chargers' starting nose tackle the previous season, his fifth with the club. He was a holdout through training camp, asking either for more money or to be traded. On 9 September, he narrowly missed a final deadline to accept a two-year deal, and Beathard announced that negotiations were over. Phillips was released on September 21, and signed for the Chiefs.


1992 San Diego Chargers season, Offseason, Arrivals
On July 27, John Friesz ended a lengthy holdout, signing a two-year deal as the Chargers' starting quarterback. Twelve days later, he suffered a knee injury in the team's preseason opener after a late hit by Ken Harvey. Friesz required surgery for torn knee ligaments and was ruled out for the season, leaving journeyman Bob Gagliano as the only available quarterback with regular season experience.


1992 San Diego Chargers season, Offseason, Arrivals
In April's NFL draft, Beathard had contacted Washington about the potential trade of a 5th-round draft pick for third-string quarterback Stan Humphries, a player he himself had drafted while serving as Washington's general manager in 1988. That trade fell through, but the parties reached an agreement after Friesz's injury, with Humphries moving to San Diego in exchange for what proved to be a 3rd-round pick in the 1993 draft. The new quarterback was already familiar with the Chargers' offensive system, as Dan Henning had been influential in both San Diego (as head coach) and Washington (as offensive coordinator).


1992 San Diego Chargers season, Offseason, Arrivals
Humphries, who had fallen out of favor with Joe Gibbs in Washington, described the move as "a new life for me and a new opportunity". He would start 76 regular season games with the Chargers over the next six seasons, leading them to their first Super Bowl appearance and ultimately earning a place in the Chargers Hall of Fame.


1992 San Diego Chargers season, Offseason, Arrivals
Other arrivals included a pair of defensive linemen, Blaise Winter and Shawn Lee. Winter had been with the Chargers for two seasons in the late 1980s, but was unable to find a team in 1991. After winning a spot on the Chargers' roster, he made six sacks and was granted the Ed Block Courage Award by his teammates. Lee was a midseason acquisition from Miami, who saw limited action in 1992, but would start 15 games in each of the next three seasons. Cornerback Sean Vanhorse had been unable to get onto the field in his first two seasons in the league, but started nine games in 1992 after the Chargers picked him up through Plan B free agency.


1992 San Diego Chargers season, Offseason, NFL Draft
San Diego made Tennessee defensive end Chris Mims their first pick in the draft, with Beathard praising the player's pass rushing ability. Mims produced 10 sacks in his rookie year, and 38 in total during seven seasons with the Chargers.


1992 San Diego Chargers season, Offseason, NFL Draft
Other selections made less of an impact in San Diego. 2nd-round pick Marquez Pope would play in the NFL for ten seasons, but only two of those were with the Chargers, for whom he started only a single game. Their next selection, wide receiver Ray Ethridge, caught only two passes in his career. 5th-round offensive linemen Curtis Whitley and Eric Jonassen started two games each. Further down the draft, blocking tight end Deems May started six games in his rookie year, and spent five seasons in San Diego.


1992 San Diego Chargers season, Preseason
San Diego's preseason began badly, as they were comfortably beaten by Phoenix, and lost starting quarterback John Friesz for the year with an knee injury. The Cardinals scored touchdowns on their first three possessions, and led 28–0 before Derrick Walker caught a touchdown pass from Bob Gagliano. Eric Bieniemy scored the Chargers' second touchdown. Gagliano started at quarterback in the next game, completing 7 of 11 for 123 yards; Marion Butts and Bieniemy scored with short rushes as San Diego beat the Patriots.


1992 San Diego Chargers season, Preseason
Against San Francisco, Gagliano completed 8 of 13 for 87 yards, and ran 20 yards for a touchdown. He then gave way to the newly-signed Stan Humphries, who went 5 of 12 for 52 yards and an interception, while leading a drive that Ronnie Harmon capped with a 9-yard touchdown run. Future Charger Mark Seay scored for San Francisco as they won the game with 17 unanswered 4th quarter points. Gagliano was again the starter in the final preseason game against the Rams, leading an 80-yard touchdown drive on the opening possession, with Rod Bernstine scoring from the 1.


1992 San Diego Chargers season, Preseason
Gagliano was 6 of 8 for 90 yards. Humphries took over and completed 11 of 16 for 118 yards, with touchdowns to Harmon and Walter Stanley (the latter of whom was nonetheless cut four days later). John Carney, who had won a training camp battle with Carlos Huerta for the kicking job, converted all three of his field goal attempts.


1992 San Diego Chargers season, Preseason
On August 31, Bobby Ross named Gagliano as his starting quarterback for Week 1 of the regular season. He represented the six different opening day starter for the Chargers in as many seasons.


1992 San Diego Chargers season, Regular season, Overview
Expectations for the Chargers were not particularly high going into the season. A summary of nine major publications found that four of them had San Diego finishing 4th in their 5-team division, while three placed them 3rd and two 2nd. The low expectations seemed justified as the team lost their first four games, but they improved drastically through the next twelve. This was epitomised by the performance of Stan Humphries, who started every game from Week 2 onwards: he threw 1 touchdown and 8 interceptions during the 0–4 start, but 15 touchdowns against 10 interceptions the rest of the way.


1992 San Diego Chargers season, Regular season, Overview
Overall, Humphries had 3,356 passing yards, the most by a Chargers' starter since Dan Fouts in 1985. Anthony Miller enjoyed a return to form, crossing 1,000 yards receiving for the first time in three seasons. He ranked 10th in the league for receptions, and 6th for receiving yards, catching 72 passes for 1,060 yards and team-leading seven touchdowns. Running back Ronnie Harmon ranked 6th for receptions and 10th for receiving yards, with 79 receptions for 914 yards - he was comfortably the top running back in both categories. Nate Lewis added four touchdowns and over 500 receiving yards.


1992 San Diego Chargers season, Regular season, Overview
The Chargers employed a balanced attack that ranked 7th in the league for passing yardage and 9th for rushing (they were 6th overall). Marion Butts led the team with 809 rushing yards. Rod Bernstine had a higher yards per carry than Butts (4.7 to 3.7), but struggled with injuries and only played in nine regular season games. He finished with 499 yards, while Harmon and Eric Bieniemy each contributed over 200. The four running backs combined for 14 rushing touchdowns, and Humphries added four more.


1992 San Diego Chargers season, Regular season, Overview
On defense, the Chargers bounced back from a disappointing showing the previous season, improving from 19th to 4th. With the defensive alignment shifting from 3–4 to 4–3, Leslie O'Neal moved from linebacker to defensive end, and saw his sack count increase from 9 to 17, tied for second-best in the league. This also set an official club record (unofficially, Gary "Big Hands" Johnson had 17+1⁄2 in 1980). With rookie Chris Mims adding 10 sacks (including a safety), and fellow defensive lineman Burt Grossman adding 8 (including two safeties), the Chargers totalled 51, joint third in the league.


1992 San Diego Chargers season, Regular season, Overview
They were also second in the league for interceptions. Darren Carrington led the team with 6 interceptions, with Donald Frank and Gill Byrd had 4 each. It proved to be the final season of Byrd's playing career; after making only 11 interceptions in the first half of his ten-season career, he totalled 31 interceptions in his final five seasons in the league, 6 more than any other player during that span. All-Pro linebacker Junior Seau led the team with 102 tackles while adding 4+1⁄2 sacks.


1992 San Diego Chargers season, Regular season, Overview
Kicker John Carney was fifth in the league with an 81.3% conversion rate on field goals (he made 26 of 32). This was a return to form after making only 65.5% the previous season. John Kidd was 14th with 42.6 yards per punt.

1992 San Diego Chargers season, Regular season, Game summaries, Week 1: vs. Kansas City Chiefs
San Diego gave up two return touchdowns as they began their season with a loss. Ronnie Harmon let the opening kickoff slip through his grasp and out of bounds at the 2, forcing the offense to start from there. After three plays netted only six yards, John Kidd's punt was returned 46 yards for a touchdown by Dale Carter, only 99 seconds into the game. Later in the opening quarter, San Diego were the beneficiaries of a roughing the kicker penalty, extending a drive after they'd been forced to punt.


1992 San Diego Chargers season, Regular season, Game summaries, Week 1: vs. Kansas City Chiefs
After Anthony Miller caught a 17-yard pass from Bob Gagliano, the drive stalled for a second time and John Carney kicked a 45-yard field goal. Gagliano was sacked on consecutive 2nd quarter plays, again forcing Kidd to punt from deep in his own territory. The Chiefs took possession at the San Diego 48, and gained 8 yards on three plays before Dave Krieg drew Blaise Winter offside with a hard count on 4th and 2. Kansas City added a field goal later on in the drive and led 10–3 at the break.


1992 San Diego Chargers season, Regular season, Game summaries, Week 1: vs. Kansas City Chiefs
In the 3rd quarter, Junior Seau stopped one drive with an interception, and another by sacking Krieg at his own 6 yard line. After Kansas City punted, San Diego started their next drive at the Chief 36, and reached a 3rd and 4 at the 13. Gagliano's pass was then tipped away from Harmon by former Charger Martin Bayless, for Kevin Ross to intercept and return 99 yards for a touchdown.


1992 San Diego Chargers season, Regular season, Game summaries, Week 1: vs. Kansas City Chiefs
Stan Humphries then entered the game; on his second drive, he completed 4 of 5 passes for 36 yards, with a defensive pass interference penalty accounting for a further 27 yards. Rod Bernstine finished the drive with a 2-yard run, drawing San Diego back within seven points with 10:24 still to play. Kansas City responded with a 15-play, 76-yard drive, converting three third downs and running the clock down to 1:23, with Barry Word scoring the clinching touchdown.

The Chargers held Kansas City to 188 yards, but gained a season-low 155 yards. Humphries completed 7 of 10 passes, for 62 yards and an interception. Gagliano was 7 of 20 for 55 yards and two interceptions. He was also sacked 5 times for a combined loss of 50 yards. It was the last start of Gagliano's career, as Humphries was given the starting job in Week 2, and kept it for the rest of the season.


1992 San Diego Chargers season, Regular season, Game summaries, Week 2: at Denver Broncos
Humphries' first start ended in defeat after a pair of costly interceptions. Denver took the opening kickoff and drove 80 yards in 8 plays, scoring on John Elway's 32-yard touchdown pass to Mark Jackson, with Gill Byrd beaten on the play. An answering 60-yard drive by San Diego came to nothing when Carney's 37-yard field goal attempt was blocked.

In the 2nd quarter, San Diego drove 77 yards in 15 plays; Bernstine had 3 carries for 34 yards as the Chargers reached a 3rd and 1 from the Denver 2, but he was then stuffed for a loss of a yard, and Carney came on to kick a short field goal with 1:34 remaining in the first half. Three plays later, Byrd intercepted a deep pass from Elway, and returned the ball 44 yards, from his own 40 to the Denver 16. A touchdown run by Harmon on the next play was wiped out by the first of two successive penalties, but Harmon's one-handed 29-yard reception moved the ball to the 2, from where Nate Lewis caught Humphries' first touchdown pass for the Chargers with 24 seconds on the clock.


1992 San Diego Chargers season, Regular season, Game summaries, Week 2: at Denver Broncos
Leading 10–7 entering the 3rd quarter, the Chargers allowed a touchdown on Denver's first possession, this time on Elway's 8-yard run. The Chargers pulled back to within a point late in the quarter with a Carney field goal, then forced a three-and-out and took over at their own 19. However, Humphries was intercepted on the next play, and Elway threw a 34-yard touchdown pass to Shannon Sharpe on the play after that. The Chargers crossed midfield on all four of their 4th quarter possessions, but the drives ended with two punts, an interception and the clock expiring.

1992 San Diego Chargers season, Regular season, Game summaries, Week 3: vs. Pittsburgh Steelers
A 4th quarter collapse saw a close game slip away from the Chargers. They began well, taking the opening kickoff converting three third downs, one of those with Anthony Miller's diving 35-yard reception. Lewis appeared to have opened the scoring with an 11-yard touchdown catch, but Harry Swayne was flagged for illegal motion, and the Chargers settled for a Carney field goal. In the 2nd quarter, the Steelers drove 80 yards in just 4 plays, taking the lead with a Neil O'Donnell touchdown pass.


1992 San Diego Chargers season, Regular season, Game summaries, Week 3: vs. Pittsburgh Steelers
Late in the half, Humphries completed three consecutive passes for 39 yards, but took a blow to the ankle after the third of these and came out of the game.. Gagliano came in and completed his first pass, but the drive stalled and Carney made a 43-yard kick with 1:18 on the clock. Pittsburgh tried to move into field goal range, but Donald Frank intercepted O'Donnell, and the Chargers took over at their own 34 with time for one more play. Gagliano's Hail Mary pass was batted in the air and caught by Harmon for a 55-yard gain, but the Steelers were able to tackle him 11 yards short of the end zone, preserving their 7–6 lead at the intermission.


1992 San Diego Chargers season, Regular season, Game summaries, Week 3: vs. Pittsburgh Steelers
Gagliano was intercepted on the Chargers' first possession of the second half; Greg Lloyd ran the ball back from his own 45 to the San Diego 20, but Swayne knocked the ball loose at the end of the return and Butts recovered.

With Humphries back in at quarterback, Bernstine had a 15-yard carry and the Chargers advanced 30 yards to a 4th and 2 at the Pittsburgh 8, before sending Carney in for a go-ahead field goal attempt of 25 yards. Carney pulled his attempt wide to the left, and the game quickly shifted Pittsburgh's way. O'Donnell led an 80-yard drive, capped by his second touchdown pass, though a missed extra point kept the score at 13–6 early in the final quarter. Humphries was intercepted on the next play, and O'Donnell ran for a score five plays later.

1992 San Diego Chargers season, Regular season, Game summaries, Week 4: at Houston Oilers
Having gone six consecutive quarters without a point and ten without a touchdown, San Diego were already three games behind the division-leading Broncos and Chiefs.

Strong play at the start and finish of the game saw the Chargers past Indianapolis. After taking the opening kickoff, they drove 81 yards on 8 plays without facing a third down. Bernstine scored from the 25, hurdling the final potential tackler on his way to the end zone. After the Colts went three-and-out, Humphries immediately aimed a long pass at Lewis, who caught the ball and gained 62 yards before being brought down at the Colt 6. Bernstine ran for 4 and 2 yards on the next two plays, and the Chargers led 14–0 less than nine minutes into the game.

Humphries completed passes of 22 yards to Derrick Walker and 38 yards to Miller, the latter for a touchdown. San Diego crossed midfield on their next two possessions, but turned the ball over both times: first, Humphries and Butts misplayed the exchange on an attempted handoff, with Denver recovering the loose ball; later, a Humphries bomb was intercepted at the goal line. After the second of these, Denver drove 80 yards to tie the score on John Elway's 32-yard pass to Mark Jackson.

Humphries was intercepted in Colts territory on their first drive, and sacked near midfield to force a punt on the next one. With Indianapolis failing to gain a first down on their first two possessions, the Chargers drove to within a yard of the end zone, only for Butts to fumble as he dove over the goal line, with the Colts recovering.


1992 San Diego Chargers season, Regular season, Game summaries, Week 9: vs. Indianapolis Colts
