Ski and Forever replied to my texts - Ski's thinking about moving to Texas, Forever's daughter is moving to H-town.

Ski says that Lubbock is better than Austin - I think regarding NFL QBs

Mahomes is from Tyler, same hometown as Earl Campbell. 

Pretty astounding how Kingsbury was able to completely waste his talent at Tech, though.  And then fall upwards into an NFL coaching gig.  Good for him I guess.

Anyone have access to the 1976 A&M football roster?  I can't find it anywhere. 
.
a- the numerical roster, not the one from collegefootballreference
b- I know they're in the SEC, but you all are a bunch of old SWC boys in here, no?

I doubt my Aggie inlaws have anything like that, at least not that's easily accessible.

You might check with the folks on Texags.com though, that's the largest Ag-dedicated forum I know of, and tons of old-school ags post there.  Someome might have a hardcopy from a program or something.

I have always wondered who played for them in 1976.

I don't know about the 1976 team but the 1975 team was highly ranked (#1 IIRC) until they had to play a late season game (After the UT game which is traditionally the last game of the season) at Arkie and were subsequently destroyed.  I'm pretty sure that's the last time A&M was ranked #1.  Many Aggies loathe to this day about that rescheduled Arkansas game, apparently it was moved for TV back when only a few games got broadcast.  I was born in late '75 so it was a little before my time. 

I'm pretty sure there is an SI cover featuring Bubba Bean that says "Texas A&M Stakes It's Claim" from that era.

I'd wager the boot is cumbersome to carry in your squad car, and fiddly for the average collegiate parking attendant to figure out as far as attachment points.

As much as I like to dig, truth be told, I've been on the UT campus plenty trying to maneuver around cars whose owners just couldn't find an acceptable parking place. They just bailed out wherever. Now, undergraduate parking passes are hilariously expensive, there aren't enough parking garages, and the restrictions placed on them are just asinine. However, just stopping your car and clogging up the street for everyone else has to be dealt with.
Barnacle beyond OU: Retracted parking device not controversial at Houston

Glenn pointed out as a “self-sustaining auxiliary department,” parking administration would not be able to fund itself without permit or ticket revenue.


“We don’t make a profit in this department and we don’t receive any other university money,” Glenn said. “Building new parking lots, really expensive maintenance and repair, bond payments on parking garages … all of the money generated from parking permit sales goes right back into the operation.”
