Too
Bad Texas cannot play GaTech My track star brother James was the 1st Black athlete
to earn a letter in the Southwest Conference in ANY sport at the University of Texas in 1963. We are all proud of him.
That said I suppose you are wondering WHY I have a Georgia Tech Yellow Jacket LOGO? My answer is because it is the WRIGHT
thing to do... I support my nephew Marcus Wright who attended San Antonio Reagan with phenomenal statistics and accolades. Much to my consternation Coach Brown did NOT show much interest, if any, in my short but lightening fast, elusive relative.
Hook
'Em Horns (unless it's Texas vs GeorgiaTech!)
I support the Austin Toros in MANY ways personally and professionaly and have done so since the inception 4 years ago. This year we played
the team coached by Bryan Gates who was also the first assistant coach under the late great Dennis "DJ" Johnson
of Boston Celtics championship fame. Anyway this year we played Idaho at the Concordia campus off Hwy 620 and it
was definitely different on many levels. The atmosphere was smaller but bigger too, the concessions were very inexpensive
and we came from being almost 20 points down to win. I am more proud of this
team because of their unwillingness to quit. WOW. What a team! WATCH Toros games HERE if you cannot attend.
MY 1st CAR
My 1971 Plymouth 'Cuda was factory HOT with a ThermoQuad 340,
hood pins, painted ORANGE GRILLE and double bump hood scoops. The exterior was HEMI ORANGE with a WHITE vinyl
top and the interior was ORANGE vinyl seats with BLACK carpet, door trim, headliner and dash with wood
accents. It had a console with Slap-Stick auto transmission. My dad bought it for me from McMorris Ford's used car lot
in the summer of 1972. It was the hottest car then and very desireable as an antique now. A rare beauty it was the ONLY
year that a Barracuda had GILLS in the fenders and double headlights. Like now (probably) I didn't apprecite what I already
had. I traded it in 1974 for a VW Sunbug. I am still mad at myself over that stupid move and have been searching for
MY CAR (or one exactly like it) since 1996. BTW I already found my 1978 Pace Car.
