Jeez now I kind of feel bad for shitting on barbecue Bob in my surveys. They didn’t show that to him when he got canned did they?

Ambivalent, it's a pretty building. But UT football gives me great joy.

“Old” does not equal “Historic”

Neither of which relates to "pretty"

I can vouch for that.

Is the Rec Sports building being torn down too?

Doesn't look like it:

Easy close parking back then

I lived in Jester East in ‘74, and that lot is usually where I had to park, ~ 3,000 steps from my car to my room. Now, I may not have walked a straight line, but it was a long ass walk to make in the wee hours of the morning.

The last throes of Godzillatron were kind of sad to see.  SIAP

 

What happened to the Steinmark scoreboard from the shot above?   I thought there was a plan to incorporate it into the NEZ.  

Also, do they still fly the flags for each conference school at the top of the bleachers?

There were new flags up for the SEC for the first time on Saturday.

Same for me. Jester West in the early 90s. Except for game weekends, then they made us find somewhere else to park. 👹

What do you want to do on our vacation?

I know! Let's go to Austin to see the historic School of Social Work Building.

Said no one ever.

The base is still there beneath the new SEZ with a memorial to Steinmark. The players walk in and out of the tunnel right past it.

I remember as a child there used to be a tennis court complex near the South End. Early ‘70s.

Hook’em!!!

Which means what exactly. What historically significant event happened there? That registry is the ultimate Karen/Old Austin/nimby bullshit that does absolutely nothing.

Muny and Hancock golf courses are on this list along side “6th Street” and the Kappa Gamma house. Shit can be old, and people can put it on a list of “historic” place to circle jerk each other off as they fight against txdot expanding 35…but nothing historic occurred there.

It was a run down old shitty building that did nothing for a university that is essentially landlocked on all sides. Nobody was going to turn it into a museum (we have more than enough of those on campus already, many are rarely visited). Nobody wanted to pay to maintain it or improve it. It was an eyesore that stood in the way of progress of the best public school in not only our own state but in the whole mother fucking the Central Time Zone.

As a child of the ‘70s, the only historical place to visit each time in Austin, which was a must visit, was Rooster Andrews! Dad would only purchase an opponent pennant at the stadium for me. Anything UT related had to come from Rooster’s, as it was “real”, according to him.

He is still too involved in game day.

Maybe mostly true. There is that cool sales tax exemption though. Which is real money if you can get it.

In the 80’s I could sneak on the field with exactly the same jacket the coaches were wearing that I got at Rooster’s.

It was a joke. I probably should have included a GIF.

Thought that was one of the coolest scoreboards at the time, same with the Angels when they had the huge A shaped scoreboard.

Good for you.  Those late nights in the library are what made you what you are today.
