I was born in the mid-80's, and I'm realizing that I'm a UT football dinosaur now

Featured Replies

i don't follow a ton of UT stuff on social media, and in fact i really only use instagram, but i'm coming to realize that guys like Roy Williams, Derrick Johnson, Quentin Jammer, and Nathan Vasher are to today's generation what Rosie Leaks and Mossy Cade and Jerry Gray were to me. heard of em, but don't really know shit about them, and certainly didn't watch them play. 

basically the furthest back you'll see any of these social media accounts go is the 2008 RRS, and that includes during this last month of summer where every day has been a countdown to the start of the season using highlights of former players according to their jersey number. for example today marks four days until kickoff, and while that makes me automatically go to The Legend, the video they used was Kenny Vaccarro. two days ago they did 10 different slides of the #6 and the furthest back they went was Quandre Diggs. and then when you go into the comments and they debate on who is the best to ever wear a certain number, nobody has ever heard of or seen a Nathan Vasher or a Shaun Rogers play football. so this begs the question- when did I get so old and out of touch? are all of my heroes really the new Jim Bertelsen's and Jerry Sisemore's of Texas football?

that is a fact. i feel like mack and rick after each had been here 10 years, gained 20 lbs, lost all their hair, and the hair they did keep turned more grey by the day.

Try doing it twice in 30 years.

How many of y'all had my shitty timing?

Read about the glory days of TX and the Cowboys.

Moved from Garland to Austin ('91) for my 1st year at UT... Cowboys get good.

Left Austin the year Ricky arrived.

Forgot to add... my high school, Garland, won 1 game my Senior year; won state 7 years later when JamesLaw was there.

Image result for here's some of that attention you ordered

not that I've ever even understood the premise of starting a thread like this one (you know, a thread about UT football on the UT football forum) to get attention" (in what way? and from whom?), but I do know that no matter what I say or do that a throng of you will be chomping at the bit to give me all the attention I can handle, wanted or not. Maybe something to think about.

Also, on the subject of food for thought, maybe ask literally every baseball board regular why they have been able to post with me every single day for years without any of the dramatics that come every single time i make a post on the football forum. maybe they know something you don't.

the horror......NDSU football is really the reason why Im not looking like a lot of you

Does this thread have anything to do with the ‘03 red corvette your planning on buying?

You're simply not of the generation that constitutes the ruling caste of the internet.  I'm sure before long I will be wondering how I got so old that I remember VY playing and others don't .

Oh wait no I won't, it's expected.

Baseball forum... Well there you go

Lulz @ thread. 

No shit!  I was born in the late '50s.  Attended my first Longhorn football games in the knothole section.  First basketball games at Gregory Gym.  First (of many) baseball games at Clark Field featuring Billy Goat Hill.  I'm no dinosaur, youngster.

Bobby Layne was still playing for UT the first time I saw Memorial Stadium.

OP needs to post pics of mom from the 80's.

Your real Daddy may own up to it.

Not a bad way to celebrate your 50th birthday 

Having attended during the McWilliams & Macovic era, once Mack Brown got it rolling I was a little bitter that my time on the 40 was likely the low point in modern Texas football.  10 win seasons were the norm and I wouldn't have guessed it could ever get as bad as the early-mid 90's. Then post-Colt Mack and Strong rallied with their own "hold my beer" efforts. Don't fuck this up Tom.

So you're saying the donation media accounts history only goes back as far as when we all started using social media.

The true dinosaurs remember when all the games were not on TV, so if you wanted to see the game you had to go to the stadium.

You know Rex, the only people in this thread who aren't talking about UT football are you and your crew. 

Improper use of begs the question. I learned that at UT.

oh just some people who might have liked to talk some UT football in the days leading up to the season. too bad for them you and Rex and co have sufficiently derailed the fuck out of this thread with your astoundingly ironic posts that are all about me. anyone else could have started the OP and it would have just been another thread on the football board. instead you and rex have decided to make it all about me. it's just dumbfounding.

The thread title is actually about you. And I'm not trolling with that comment.

Yes, but the thread subject is not. Nothing about the OP merited this response, there are just certain people (and yes Dr.Beeper is Rex Kramer, the biggest repeat offender) who cannot help themselves but to make it all about me when it really isn't. the five people who pos repped the OP would never have done so if the thread were about me, which it clearly is not.

the lamest part of this routine by far is how the same cast of characters derail these threads time and time again by doing the very thing that they are supposedly complaining about, oblivious to how stupid that is, and never taking a second to realize that not everyone else in here wanted or needed this thread to become another bitch fest about the latest innocuous thing that i did. pointing this out never seems to deter them.

I made this about you? This whole cumstain wrapped in diarrhea of a thread is all about you. That’s on top of the stupidity of trying to decry being in your mid 30’s as old. 

 

Congrats on the 5 upvotes. Care and post less on attacks and they will go away.

Hell.  I’ve got jr high shorts older than you.

I was born in '66.  I hear ya.

My birth year brother speaks the truth. And my pops is still alive and kicking, and picked the LSU game for his (now 11th) last game ever.

I also don’t enjoy reading threads about other’s realizations. For fucksake...

No one else would have started this thread.

On Thursday, we'll be only [Vondrell McGee] days from the start of the season.

No kidding? OP will absolutely not understand this and consider it a slight towards him.
