Crazy to hear that side of it. 

fozzy whittaker was next door to antwan and shared a bathroom with him. jermichael finley was across the hall. fozzy was quiet, studious, always doing the right thing. J Mike was in his dorm early every night with his baby momma, focusing on getting to the NFL to take care of his family. and then you just had this goof troop of guys just going in and out of antwan’s dorm, skipping class, skipping meetings, showing up late to rehab, smelling like weed and not trying to hide it, and just living like they had “made it” already. in all honesty, even though i’m 3-4 years older than all of those guys, i actually needed to grow up a bit myself, and i was honestly influenced by watching the way fozzy and J Mike handled themselves to change my own dumbass ways so that i didn’t end up like antwan (kicked out of UT weeks before getting his degree), j’marcus (failed out after one year), rob joe, dre, and the rest of their crew.

This. Also people need to stop saying “weed” like we are still in the days of a bag of weed and rolling paper. THC products are much more common in vape pens (oil infused THC) and edible products most commonly gummies. These are not something a dog is trained to find. My favorite product is a hydration powder that I mix with a vodka soda at the airport bar. 

Got searched at Hobby yesterday over the hydration powder in my carryon

While I hate Mack, this has been a problem for a while….maybe why we underachieved for decades.  I was playing 2 on 2 basketball in summer 1997 at an outdoor court on the east side of 35 when the starting UT linebacker crew came and challenged us to a game.  Clearly, we were athletically outmatched but hung in there due to two reasons:  (1) we played as a team and they did dumb one-on-one type bs but more importantly (2) we didn’t constantly smoke out in the middle of plays like all of them were doing.  

Around 60 days later, I’m guessing this crew got winded from chasing UCLA RB’s when they scored 900 points against us.

Never had a problem with weed products, but I can tell you from experience that a value pack of Opa's sausage looks extremely suspicious when it goes through the scanner. Oops.

Barry Switzer (in his role as Dallas Cowboys coach) showed up to the airport with a pistol in his luggage that one time.

So did the legendary  UT band director Vincent R. DiNino.

I still remember how badly I was sun burnt after that game. It must have been 150 degrees in the stands that day.

You make it sound like he was 12 years old. 

our team functions better when its players aren’t committing crimes and getting arrested.

Absolutely agree, but that kind of means you have to have to recruit players that have some idea what adult behaviour looks like. Otherwise it's not a question of IF they will crash and burn, just when and where.

since we’re telling stories from that time period, one time a few guys wouldn’t stfu during study hall, and the coaches said that everyone was going to have to pay for it. jared norton stood up and more or less said, “fuck that, i ain’t getting punished for these dumbasses”, and he told on the guys who wouldn’t stfu, one of whom was montre webber. now i don’t know if everyone here is familiar with these two, but webber was probably 6’2”, and like 190 lbs iirc. meanwhile norton was something like 6’3”, 235 lbs, and one of those quiet, nerdy guys who you just shouldn’t piss off.

well, montre took exception to this and confronted jared norton outside of jester, and when i tell you that jared norton beat the BRAKES off of montre webber…boy. i have never seen an ass whooping like that. norton got webber on the ground almost immediately and then just proceeded to pummel him with a flurry of fists that seemed impossibly fast for a man of his size. nobody fucked with jared norton again after that lol.

This is a really awesome story. Thanks for sharing.

Yes - most including myself on the East side left shortly after HT. I’d rarely left a UT game before “The Eyes,” but that one stole the show. Off to Jaime’s and their Sangria striped margaritas for me and the wife.

Hook’em!!!

My then-wife looked at me at halftime and said "give me the keys".  I had walked home from campus to our house in Travis Heights many times, but on that occasion, what with the shitty football and the extreme heat, I just left with her.
