That. Is. Awesome.
Love the music.
up… and through.
Great vid. Its always exciting to see what our University looked like 30 years ago.
Pretty freaking awesome right there!
That was great.
How we did not capitalize on the success we had in the 70s will forever leave me dumbfounded.

And how did we not capitalize on the success in the 90s?
And I really really hope we aren’t sitting here 20 years from now asking how we didn’t capitalize on football in the 2010s.
Its like every other decade we have to fail at something.
WOW! I just found this! 72-73 was my senior year! I was at these games. :o This brings a tear to my eye. Thanks for the memories. ;D
