We used to take turns looking out of one window. I only saw the moon 3 times before my 16th birthday.

Even if this is meant to be a dig at A&M I would wear that shirt. 
Or if I were a fan of team that had any old and recent titles I'd wear the ones with the older years.

My parents gave my oldest sister the 1984 Gator Bowl shirt between SC and Ok. State. The game was before my time but it was our only 10-win season in history until 2011. I can vaguely remember the shirt, haven't seen it in years though.
I keep all shirts that have years on them. Still use the 2005 Independence and 2006 Liberty Bowl shirts as workout shirts.
