This is really when it started. Walk ons from coverage team (10 of them + kicker) started doing it. The night game vs UT in College Station was actually the firt time they were really used across the stadium. Back then it was a big deal to have ESPN televise a game.

Was in 3rd deck and it was a great night.

I started going to games in '86, and they had already taken hold by then. I've also got a maroon "Wrecking Crew" towel with white lettering from '88. Those never caught on.
