First TV I ever saw was like this 16” Zenith (below) at the Fort Leavenworth Officers Club bar& lounge in 1950. It was sitting on top of a wooden highboy hutch. Didn’t see another TV until 1954 when we were back stateside in St. Louis and Dad bought a 19” GE tabletop b&w set that could get 9 channels (only one in town though). After I was married we had a 19” Sears portable b&w set. The in 1976 my FIL gave us a 12” Sony color portable. It was amazingly cool and out kids were in awe. Presently we have the old Panasonic plasma ($1,600 in 2006), a 43” Samsung 720p plasma (“free” with BB coupon about 10 years ago) in the bedroom, and a 50” Samsung 1080p smartass lcd ($360 from Costco) in the living room. We have no idea how to utilize the “smart” features or stream anything. The cable TV is fine with us. We good. Edited March 18, 20232 yr by Armybrat
March 18, 20232 yr Popular Post You are the Man, with your historical perspective that most appreciate. Don’t worry Old Timer, as a lot of us are closer to you than the youngsters.My Dad is now 82 and played for DKR in the early 60’s and I relish any moment that he talks about the good ole days!Hook’em!!!
March 18, 20232 yr Popular Post When I was a youngster, during the 70s, my Dad insisted that we always went to Rooster Andrews’ store for anything UT apparel/uniforms. Rooster was on the training staff when my Dad played and wouldn’t give a dime to anyone else in Austin. When I was about 7-8 (77-78) I wanted an Earl Campbell jersey with #34 (his Oilers number). Dad insisted that I got #20, which was his UT number. Rooster said if he wants 34, he’ll get 34! I wish I still had that jersey to today, with Campbell on the back.Hook’em!!!

March 19, 20232 yr I had that panny plasma set in 720 42” and I can almost guarantee you the picture on his is better than any 75” for $600Try dat. I bought my first Panny Plasma (also 42") in 2006 and I only recently surpassed the pic quality when I got a 55" LG 4k OLED.
March 19, 20232 yr We haven't been to the sweet 16 in fifteen years and we get all the luck? lol Evolution of the thread from PSU being up 58-55 to the final buzzer must be good.
March 19, 20232 yr Funny how Kansas and Colgate shot so poorly against us, too. Apparently we get all the defensive pressure luck.

Yeah, since the loss on the road to TCU, the Texas defense has smothered KU, OSU, TCU, KU, Colgate, and PSU. aggy is right, it is just luck.
March 19, 20232 yr Popular Post I must admit, I laughed. I just started reading the thread, but I wouldn’t be surprised if most posters missed that one.
March 19, 20232 yr Author Classic sip luck how we had better players who played better defense and generally better basketball. I wish our football team would find that kind of luck.
March 19, 20232 yr aggy will forever be a bunch of losers. They are incapable of accepting any flaws their teams may have and ithen taking the appropriate action in correcting those flaws. Instead, it’s all down to their bad luck and other teams’ good luck.
March 19, 20232 yr They are saying Billy Liucci has tons of cholesterol in his face. The doctors are very concerned about him.

March 19, 20232 yr WTF? Is this akin to them never losing but only being "outscored?" Another strange euphemism to hide reality? Yes, and that is probably what I should have said.

March 19, 20232 yr This thread is more deliciousness than I can post here. Aggies speculating on why they are so improbably bad at sports.

March 19, 20232 yr I’ve never seen them this down before. TexAgs is a funeral home right now. It’s weird that basketball would make them jump off the cliff. They weren’t even this low when the football team was 4-7. I think the moping around lasts until tomorrow when Looch goes on some insane rant about NCAA tournament seeding, and how the sips caught Penn State on the right night.

Yep. I believe they also start spring practice this week, so all will be well. "These practices look just like the practices the year that Jimbo won the Championship!!"

March 19, 20232 yr About three guys have made posts similar to the one in gray. Just another ditty in the Sour Grapes Songbook along with tu Got Lucky, If We Cheated Like E'er'body We'd Dominate, and Everybody Fears and Hates Us and Keeps Us Down. The other guy's answer is first rate for an Aggie post. No. 1 got an audible laugh outta me. Some more familiar songs from the same thread.

March 19, 20232 yr I won't be the guy to cheer them up, but I think their baseball program is actually in a really good spot. The Portland series of course being an outlier. They won a College World Series game last year, and there's no reason to think they can't go back again this season. Schloss is a very good coach. Getting rid of Childress and acquiring Schloss was a tremendous upgrade.

A&M worries about what people say about how its football players were acquired, what it's basketball program is seeded in the NCAA Tournament, and what its fans are saying to their own baseball players But I don't want to detract from the fact that the column spills delicious tears about the state of aggy athletics.
