October 1, 20241 yr 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?

Except for game weekends, then they made us find somewhere else to park. 👹

The players walk in and out of the tunnel right past it.

October 1, 20241 yr 28 minutes ago, David Dennison said: It's literally in the National Register of Historic Places. 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.
October 1, 20241 yr fifyAs 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.Hook’em!!!

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.
