2 years at Texas here....Finished up at North Texas on the 6 year college plan majoring in hunting and fishing and minor in accounting/finance. Was a Longhorn fan from my first game in 1976 watching the Tyler Rose run all over Arkansas. My Dad and his buddy liked to go to the games from Corpus and he'd drag me along. Most of the games I saw back then had Johnny Ham, Jam and Lam Jones in the late 70s since Earl graduated in 77. Hell Earl even had me a Houston Earler/Oiler Love Ya Blue fan for a while. I was a Texas fan long before I could attend University and much of these tickturds in here were even born. And if they were born, they were still ****ting their diapers...so when the Aggies mention graduation or T-shirts it makes me laugh....
I went to HS at Smithson Valley between Bulverde and New Braunfels so we were even closer to Memorial Stadium when I was older. We talked the same chatter with football buddies and classmates then....Aggies, Bears, Red Raiders and Longhorns and of course even the occasional Sooner. My best friend at the time parents grew up near Waco, so they were all Baylor fans. I went to all four of those games in HS with a large group of my HS buddies and parents at Floyd Casey and Memorial Stadiums. Hell Billy BoB probably served me a coke.. Plus add in many Texas games with my Dad and more Baylor game with the Davises. It's football in Texas..its what we did. Pro games were too far away and we played on Friday nights so going to other HS games was not in the cards. We did try to make the San Antonio Gunslingers a thing doing our part going to a few but that petered out quick. In addition to that we attended several Longhorn baseball games in HS when Gus was still the coach. My Dad on some through those years and then some just my HS baseball teammates after we could drive. We could stack a lot of folks in the bed of my buddy's truck with a camper shell on it to save on gas. So yeah....my fandom goes way back.....with a few years of attendance as well
