    I live in Portland, OR metro. Would love for my daughter to go to UW, but not sure if I want to pay out of state tuition. She'll probably end up ot Oregon State. I used to not have much respect for them because I automatically lumped then in as an aggy school, but they seem to be pretty strong in sciences relative to the ducks. One thing I didn't realize was that UO doesn't even have an engineering program. Corvallis is a cool college town nestled right against the coast range. Easy drive to either the coast, cascades, or Portland. Beavers are getting the shaft in conference realignment, they have had a lot of athletic success in various sports, especially baseball of course. Hopefully they can keep the other schools from taking the cash with them. Still love the UW campus though, and Seattle in general.

    I always preferred the Life Science Library in the Tower. Fantastic reading room with an awesome ceiling, and interesting graffiti in the singleton shitter down in the stacks. Still no comparison with the UW Library though. https://www.lib.utexas.edu/about/locations/life-science

    All I really care about is dragging our balls on every other big 12 team and winning the big 12 on the way out. Anything ele is gravy

    My earliest sports memory was USA being chanted in 1980 for the mircle on ice. DId not understand much about it except that we were essentially the ultimate badasses just by the fact we were americans. Then an understaning that the Dallas Cowboys were the best football team ever, which led to a huge haul of Cowboys stuff for christmas 1980, and then my first experience with sports disappointment when dwight clark made the catch. I blamed myself for that forever, since I didn't watch it. My parents made me go to some kids birthday party at mcdonald's (remember the 80's birthday parties at mcdonald's). We heard the catch on the radio on the way home. I had set up all my cowboys paerphanalia facing the tv in our den. when I got home some of it had fallen down.

    I was a huge Mark McGwire fan in the late 80's, because back then the 61 homerun record was a huge deal and he hit 49 in his rookie year. He seemed to be the best chance for a historical record in my lifetime. I was in middle school and seriously into card collecting, although that mostly was shoplifting cards from walmart on my wya home from school with my friends. I think I got the entire Topps set in my back pocket at Walmart. Turned me into a A's fan and a bash brother's fan. Had the posters on my wall. When crippled Kirk Gibson stepped up to the plate in the 88 world series and knocked it over the wall I was heartbroken and punched a dodger friend of mine the next day at school. I rememeber details of the Oakland A's line up that year, but I'm llucky if I remember my anniversary

    Tears for Fears are timeless. If you didn't know their songs were from the 80's you could easily see them being a new band promoted by the Spectrum on Sirius XM

    I started at UT in Fall 1993. I remember the first day of class Professor says you will need to go get this off the internet. I looked around at everyone else, too embarassed to admit I had no clue what the fuck the internet was.

    yeah, I live in Portland metro, and winters suck- driving to work in the dark and coming home in the dark, plus it's rainy and all that. But the summers are awesome. Long summer evenings with plenty of daylight. Decent summer temps, no 4 consecutive months of 110 degree temperatures every day. So it balances out.

    I also drunkenly tumbled down the steps in the aisle when Chance Mock led us to victory over Texas Tech. Once again in the student section, although I wasn't then still a student.

    One thing about early Mack Brown in the early 2000's. We'd lose in a catastrophic fashion to ou then run the table. Our lack of big 12 championships, while not Texas standard, is more a fluke of the Big 12 structure at the time when the big 12 south champ played a pushover in the championship game. Mack did build us back up to when Texas was truly "Back" with Rodrique Wright rumbling 65 yard into the end zone aginst ou, That moment was when I knew we were what Texas should be. This game against K state feels like a fork in the road, either we are still in people casually joking about Texas being back territory, or we are in, "oh shit, Texas is back, hope they screw it up like they did last time, otherwise we are fucked" territory

    All i have to say is Fuck K state and the combine they rode in on.

    Tech vs ASU - the STD shootout!
  22. Grande Mart
    Well, Cal shouldn't have gotten their ass spanked by Tech in the Holiday bowl that year if they wanted to have a legitimate argument that they got screwed over.

    Crazy Mary I believe. Definitely Drag worms in the 90's, the younger ones liked to call themselves gutter punks
