November 21, 20196 yr I guess this was a recruiting video that my dad put together with Ron Franklin. My how times have changed.
November 21, 20196 yr Gotta love those old barns like Barnhill, G. Rollie White, Autry(although it's still there just different name) of the SWC.
November 21, 20196 yr I remember the year they opened the Drum. A student ticket was $10, lower level, for the whole season. Of course, I think my tuition that year was something like $250 (no, I'm not kidding).

November 22, 20196 yr Dang, the seats in the FEC (drum) are full in all those video clips. It's been years since I've seen anything but empty seats.
November 22, 20196 yr The program has gone thru a weird history. With Abe there was just fun and excitement that came with relatively low expectations. Then Kaiser Bob came in and destroyed the program. Penders was a massive breath of fresh air that reinvigorated the program with a higher scoring, no defense style that was exciting to watch. And he got the team into the tournament a lot and won some conference titles. He really elevated the program and that’s where the fans started to set real standards. That is what really built the sustainable crowds. Then they got tired of no defense towards the end of his tenure. I’ve never been more excited than when I saw the first Barnes teams. They played defense and looked so different than Penders’ teams. Yet Penders still deserves some credit for elevating the program and driving crowds, even though he’s a bit of a piece of sh*t in real life.
November 22, 20196 yr I never noticed what a yankee accent Penders had. He sounds like a fucking goombah in that video. I think he ditched it pretty quick. Also, the history of the "proud Texas program" was sad. Also, I resent being called an old fart. Edited November 22, 20196 yr by TwiceHorn
November 22, 20196 yr Some of my fav first memories of my time at Texas were playing pickup games with some of the early 90's players. I took, what would have been a charge, from Albert Burditt and almost got deaded. I also got a concussion from trying to block a fast break layup by - I think - BJ Tyler.

Derka negged me once for disagreeing with him that that Rick Barnes was the only coach to ever pack the Drum.

November 23, 20196 yr Dios mio, man. Don't make me go Locksley Collie upside both y'all's heads. Maybe some Albert Burditt, too, for good measure.
