  1. Ha, I saw Aerosmith there in '78.  That place was basically a sweltering barn, with acoustics to match.  I think every rock band just said fuck it, let's turn the amps up to 11, play our set, and get the hell out of here.
    * Quick side note : also watched a random exhibition hockey game there.  We left after the second period, not realizing there was a third. 


    Saw VH there in the Fair Warning Tour plus countless others. What a dump.

    West Side Rules!

  2. My freshman year at UT I got to watch Texas lose to OU and A&M...
    I think that we cheered a close win over Rice* near the start of the season, but I'd have to go back and check. The Mid-late '80s were no-bueno until Peter Gardere started his run of 4 straight victories over OU in '89.

    *EDIT: Just checked, it apparently was an overtime win over North Texas (State University).

    Trade you. My freshman year started out ranked #4 - beat Bo Jackson and Auburn then Penn State. Went into OU ranked #1. Tied the land thieves and then from there went on to lose to Raplor, the Farmers and finally a good beat down by Iowa in the Freedom Bowl.

    It would be decades till we saw #1 again.

  3. I took physics over the summer and gladly walked out with a C.  The curves were huge on the tests.


    I don’t think schools like SMU have grades on the curve. The one thing UT taught me was the test is a competition between you and the other students in the class. Bust the curve. Screw everybody else.
  4. This was my inaugural bowl game as a student.  And to think my inaugural football game as a student was a win over Aubburbn where we put Bo on the bench.  And after beating PSU were ranked No. 1.
     
    I had no idea what I was in for.


    Yes. Here’s all of our sentiment from that era.
