Loving LHN

[streettopeschel]

Watching 77 game vs arkansas. Haven't seen this game since my freshman year. Good season, good times.

Any other old guys from that era ?

If that was your freshman year then I am nine years older.

I got out of the Army at Ft. Hood just in time for the Spring 1977 semester at UT.  Thanks to CLEP, I really didn't take any freshman classes. I was on the 5th floor of Jester West and was one of the few lucky bastards who had a room with a loft.

People can say what they want about LHN but they deliver some fantastic programming. Not just the sports-related content either.

In 1970, Texas beat Arkansas in Austin 42-7, that was the year after the barn burner in Fayetteville where Texas won 15-14.  All the talk was how the Hogs were going to get payback and this time Texas blew them out.  Unfortunately, I was in the on-campus infirmary with mononucleosis, so I had to watch the game on TV.  My roommate in the infirmary was further along in his recovery than I was, and he woke me up every morning playing the banjo.  It took me a couple of days before I realized that I was not hallucinating from the effects of the mono - the dreams with mono were definitely hallucinatory.  I would wake up and tell him that in my delirium, I had a nightmare that he woke up playing the banjo.  He then had to convince me that he actually did have a banjo in the room by playing it again.  I gotta tell you that the next time was as bad as the first, nightmare wise, for more than a couple of days in a row.  Talk about getting a new realization about the meaning of "deja vu all over again!"

Looking back on the records of that series is enlightening - Texas leads 56-21. But then, again, Texas leads the Agnoids 76-37-5.

Agreed. . . some of the bitching about LHN is actually pretty mindless. . . 

But then I have also found people with access to LHN who refuse to change carriers . .. 1st thing I ask about when a provider calls. . .LHN?   Got the Dirct TV guy at Costco trained now . .. . 

I remember the '77 game vaguely. . . but going back to HS, there was a play from either the 70 or 72 Arkie game in Austin where Scott Henderson is being shot from the back of the endzone on a 4th and 1 goal line stand. . .he appears to be holding up the entire Pigs team by himself. . . .Great shot that hung in my bedroom my entire football career.

Wish I could find that photo again . .. . .we would drive 99 yards after that play and blow them out 42 to 7 or something. . .
