This is a great spin down memory lane for some of us old guys and gals. I thought it might be fun to share some favorite memories. Here are some of mine:
  • During the last couple of seasons we poached empty seats on the covered side on really bad weather games. We ended up sitting next to Mitch McConnell and his wife and since the seats were always empty, they invited us to sit with them regularly. On one particularly freezing day he was wearing two caps, one was a U of L baseball cap facing forward and one was an Elmer Fudd style hat facing backwards so he looked like Sherlock Holmes. He also took a pull from our Schnapps bottle. This was well before the days of social media and he actually was a cool guy to talk to about sports.
  • The day the cannon misfired and shot the ramrod out on the field.
  • When Bevo the Longhorn symbolically laid down while one of Howards' teams was destroying Texas.
  • The Brett Favre off the helmet Hail Mary pass.
