Yes the SWC and early stages of the big 12 were a slum back then. More than happy to see Kyle field lit up, with an overflow crowd on saturdays @ 6:30PM

The north division became very weak. The south division was competitive.

I grew up in CS and as a kid I remembered buying a ticket for a $1 for the knot hole seats and in the 2nd half we would move to the sidelines sets. Now those games were for Rice and the lower rated teams. For the better teams the knot hole seats prices would be $25 to $50 and that was way too expensive. I've now showed my age.

I remember sitting in my grandmother's Ford Explorer in the early 90s, engine off, and listening to the A&M vs t.u game in the cold. Then marching into their house to give updates.

He's a Touchdown!

I miss listening to Aggie football in the 90s and early 2000s on the radio. Never knew who had the ball or scored the touchdown, but by God Dave South made it exciting.

Who caught the ball?? Who caught the ball??? Was that a catch??

First down, we're at the what is that?? The forty?

You tell me Dave, I'm listening to you while driving to work.

---

Caught!! Dropped!!

Uh, that'd be a fumble, Dave.

Remember when every week in the fall, no matter who we were playing, we'd talk about where cut was, how cut was going, how stack was progressing and how we were going to beat the everloving shiat out of tu on Thanksgiving day?

Your last bullet item is pretty much revisionist history

Remember when this was my land...

I remember taking soccer for my PE credit and we actually played on the astroturf on Kyle Field. Totally insane to think about now.

---

I ran sprints on the track at Kyle Field for one of my PE credits. But, Kyle Field was frequently open to students, even at night. My roommate would practice kicking field goals while I held the ball, and there would be lots of other students out there doing their thing. We'd just stroll in and out through the Horseshoe.

I did get kicked out of a football practice; all the gates were open, so I walked in with a friend and we sat down to watch the team. One of the athletic staff walked up into the stands and told us we had to leave, even though everything was unlocked and wide open and there were no signs.

Ah, memory lane.

Hell back in 2010 we couldn't even get all of the games against P5 opponents on TV, it was ridiculous.

It's a function of 98% of games being nowhere near sold out so the supply of unwanted seats far outweighing the demand

Did it suck listening on the radio trying to decipher what Dave South was trying to communicate? Yes

Is it some of my best memories having the radio on the back porch as a kid with the game on while throwing a football with my dad? Also yes.

Now we watch on TV while my son throws the football in the house and breaks stuff. Makes me think we should go outside

I remember when we were mostly on regional broadcasts on Fox Sports Southwest and we we were thrilled when we occasionally got a national broadcast on ABC or ESPN.

I'm remembering back to the '79 t.u. game. I was there with my class 0f '50 dad who got into it with the cops on the way home. Offensive highlight was Curtis Dickey's touchdown run on what was supposed to be a halfback pass. Late in the game, t.u. was driving and we intercepted. I remember yelling get out of bounds, flashing back to the interception and fumble in the '63 game. Anybody remember who made the interception?

I remember having to listen to untelevised games in like 2008

My folks had season ticks… Good seats… 1970s..

I used to get a Knot Hole ticket and found that there was a18" gap behind the last row of seats and the wall, which ran the entire distance around the top of the lower deck..

I used to walk all the way to the 50 yard line, under the overhang, and enjoy the very best view of the game every time..$1.00…

You had to stand the entire game, anyway… I was a JR High and HS kid, and all those Zips with the good seats wondered how in the hell, I got those …

Rifle range under the east stands. Qualified Expert.
Astroturf was so hot, the shoe polish on our shoes melted marching at halftime.

My first year after graduating in '75, season tickets were $5 per game.

Remember when you had to go to a bar to watch the game because it was only on pay-per-view?

I remember plenty of games not even being on pay-per-view let alone cable and I graduated this century.

Raycom!

Was anyone here at the game where CK Esten forgot the open mic while announcing at Kyle and was yelling for the Aggies to tackle the SOB?

I think I got that story right.
