Back in 1978 i was the senior party security bouncer for a party at the Barn on 2222. It was my senior year in high school, and I was known as a bit of a kung fu guy as I had flipped Rudy Gonzales during our PT football scrimmage after he attacked me. And I bluffed that rep to where I was Security for the band at the Barn. Me I was just an athletic rockclimber with no fight training.
we had this pool ball that my buddy had lifted years ago from the Hole In The Wall and it was our Power Ball! We would play ball bouncing at the Capitol and all the late night properties, hand ball with a pool ball is a game!
well these UT Frats stole the ball from us as we bounced it at the Barn. It led to a fight between me and Jake M. Who last year was the starting nose guard of my high schools football team. He out weighed me by a 100 pounds, 170 vs 270. I saw the ball and assaulted the punk frat who had it and was immediately engaged in combat with Monzingo. He grabbed my jacket and spun me around. I immediately shed jacket and shirt and went all like kung fu.
He swung a huge roundhouse which I tried to block and crushed me. I knew I couldn’t stand so I went WWF on him and body slammed him in a crotch shoulder take down and tried to hold him. But my grip was overpowered so I released and went limp. The crowd intervened and pulled us apart so I survived. My friends retrieved the ball, but my ass was kicked.
never fight a lineman!🤘Jeff, best wishes, you won
