JT: "I am really surprised that the ponyfans don't have more reverence for the house that Doak built. I loved it when we played games at the Cotton Bowl."
Perhaps a yes & no answer. I for one do & believe so many others do have a
reverence for the place. However, since we've let our program lapse for 20+ years plus the move from the CB to Texas Stadium in the late 70's or early 80's (which was a big, big mistake), too much grass has grown under all of us.
If we had kept our winning ways, continued (& not ditched under Hitch) our marketing programs at that time that Potts had instituted, stayed at the Cotton Bowl - which we often had crowds of 40K to 70K, we'd now be packing it out as a member of the BCS-BS & that
reverence you speak of would have been instilled in another generation or two. But unfortunately, our administration made some bonehead moves & here we & the CB are today - separated, confused, & looking for someone to love us while pointing fingers at everyone else when both of us were to blame all along.
