Didn’t our misery start during Reagan? Not that it has anything to do with who is in the White House, but I think Reagan was the occupant when we got that little DP citation.

if it was instituted in the fall of '88 then that would be correct as Bush Sr. was elected in Nov and took office in Jan. of '89

A relatively new tradition is that mrydel shares his seats with me at some point during each game. We discuss our lack of expectations and ms. mrydel's Nieman's bill.

Channel 8 Investigative Report broke on Sunday Nite before Texas Tech game in November 1986. SMU had last hurrah in Lubboclk beating Texas Tech 14-7 then getting blown out 41-0 against Arkansas with death in the air in season finale at Texas Stadium. Death Penalty was handed out in early 1987.

This is my first full season I get to be positive.


I watched my other team loose 17 in a row. But I never stopped supporting the team.
I was in Orlando the day they broke the loosing streak to Marshall. The goal post game down it was the greatest feeling I can remember in sports. (except for that Rudy movie ) See yea Steve!

Now I have not endured this pain for 20 years …
These were the best seats I could get to watch college football close to my house so I bought them LMAO

We are both too old and out of shape to run laps.
