If I recall correctly, they won every conference regular season game. So not just regular season champ, undefeated regular season champ that had to play a stupid championship game for more “data points” for some committee.

Killer’s 82-83 team lost to Houston 3 times that year, I think by a total of 5 points and that was by far the best Phi Slamma Jamma teams.

Only someone from Fort Worth could have written the scene with the Mr. Pibb/ Dr Pepper lines.

Around 1976 or 77, I remember seeing Mike Renfro working out on a Unversial Gym machine in the bowels of Daniel Meyer Coliseum. I was a kid and I could tell that was nuts.

Muck must have missed the UTEP and SMU track teams of the mid to late 1970’s. Had 28 year olds that had done time in the Tanzanian “army” and were taking away scholarships from 18 year old kids from the US. SMU had a number of foreign people because apparently outside the US, you just made up...

It was in 1969 when Chestnut made the call that brought Bill Mack to WBAP and the Midnight Cowboy was born.

As a small kid listening to those games on the radio, it was theater of the mind. I didn’t get to go to a lot of games but I rarely missed one on the radio. Great teams.

I feel the same way about the local paper, NPR, national nightly news on TV, most movies, and KERA.

I think they kept the El Rancho tortillas also, made by the guy that does the chips. A bit of trivia, after the Fairway Steakhouse closed, in the 1970’s, before the building housed Mama’s on Camp Bowie, El Rancho Grande had a operation only about a block west of the Orginal.
