    Dude was on the team in 1969

    This makes sense. I was applying restraint not to comment about quality of the performance. Mr Crooms has his work cut out for him.

    Will he make it back on the bus? 3 straight conference blowout losses.

    You must be a young. That’s the correct tempo. Last band director thought the Eyes was a fight song. It’s not. It’s the school song. It’s supposed to be played slower.

    Beat me to it. I was going respond with “Both”

    This right here. Bud forced the Titans to draft Vince, even though Jeff was clear he was not interested in Vince. Bud just wanted to spite the whole city of Houston.

    Money reportedly won’t influence when Texas leaves for SEC https://apple.news/A6dLk_G7gPR-3nPODqbET8A

    Reassign PK (to analyst). Promote one of the other assistants to DC. Hire a new assistant.

    Oh, I see. SEC gear.

    I ‘ll probably regret asking, but I can’t figure it out either.

    First TV: prob OU game ‘67 or ‘68. Only games on TV would have been OU, Arky, Aggy, or bowl. Others would have been radio. First in-person: ‘69 Baylor; good guys 56 - 14

    I have the feeling that this is going to turn out about as well as the last time we joined the confederate states.

    In the “glory days” the most common major in the LHB was some type engineering, and most didn’t have band scholarships.

    Two bands: LHB & DCI/BOA LHB? “. . . restore the past glory of LHB.” Past glory is still intact. Future glory? STEP 1: Get rid of Hanna

    1984 Cotton Bowl 1978 Cotton Bowl 1974 Baylor game - 1st time I realized that Longhorns could lose to the likes of Baylor. 1991 Cotton Bowl 1980 AFC Oilers vs Steelers 1993 Oilers lose to Buffalo if a professional sports memory is in your top 2 or 3, you should be ashamed.

    LOL. Just like Dallas fans have done with Jerry.

    Who’s the kid standing next to CDC wearing the Rice blue outfit?

    Look up Dana X Bible. We hired him away from Nebraska in ‘37, during the depression. Paid him more than any professor at the time. Quite scandalous at the time. He was also the coach at TAMU when they won their new found national titles in ‘19 & ‘27. He is credited with building 3 major programs: A&M, Nebraska, & Texas. He set the table for Royal.

    “If you look at Fisher’s tenure so far, there are more good-looking losses than good wins.” I chuckled.

    1969 - Baylor @ Memorial stadium. Final score was 56-14. I believe it was the last year before the West side upper deck was built. edit: Upper deck was added in ‘71. ‘69 was 1st year for artificial turf.

    LOL at comparing to 90’s & 2000’s jerseys. The old helmet decal color matches the color of my 1969 jersey. That is the color that DKR teams wore. Made it harder to tell who actually had the ball. It never matched the official Pantone color orange. It was closer to brown than the variagated oranges used today. It was definitely not the OSU orange on our turf today.
