... or so it goes, FWIW.

Mr. SEC, he makes a good point but aTm fans will not like it.

I remember when people had to talk trash face to face (Not favoring those of the paste eating ilk).

Peyton mooning was a pretty big deal.

I remember when I had to walk to school barefooted in the snow. Uphill. Both ways.

I remember when:
Big Macs were .55
Regular fry .25 large fry .35
Regular drink .25 large .35
Hamburgers .20
Cheeseburgers .30
( I worked there while in high school )

Gas .37
Bought a new car (Road Runner) and paid $4200.00
Paid $75.00 for my first car and bought a 1965 Chevelle SS for $600.00

I could have bought a Hemi Cuda in 1974 for $2500.00 when gas went to $1.00 per gallon

I remember when you could buy candied cigarettes.

I remember when cars could only get gas on certain days based on their license plate number being odd or even.

I remember when playing pong was considered a big deal.

Any fan would be pumped if their QB was on First Take being a boss this morning.

The argument that A&M hasn't done anything is pretty funny. Beating Alabama felt pretty damn good, especially when we had low expectations this year. Drilling Oklahoma was awesome this year. You watch sports to be entertained. This team has entertained me. Johnny has entertained me.

As someone who pulls for both LSU and A&M, I am much more entertained for the majority of an A&M season. I don't like struggling to score on garbage teams.

A win is a win, but having fun during a game is a pretty cool concept. The mentality that so many people have that we watch sports to brag about our accomplishments is funny. I like to remember the fun.

I remember when there was no cable TV. I remember if you didn't see a TV show the first time it aired, then you probably weren't going to get another chance.

Vaught, Bellard, Jordan, Bryant, Dooley, Battle, McClendon, Graves?, Curci? (don't remember Vandy's)...

I remember when tight assed crusty old farts didn't know how to use the internet so we didn't have to deal with their good old days syndrome.

I Remember...

My senior year at UGA, Sanford stadium held 59,000...

My Fresh. & Soph. year Ray Goff was our QB...

I graduated 2 years before our last National Championship...

I sat on the "Tracks" multiple times while a student...

BUT... I was in the Super Dome at the '81 Sugar Bowl when Herschel & Co. won it all, also there when we lost to Pitt & PSU after the '81 & '82 seasons...
