Fred Akers Has Died

sounds like my brother. My dad would tell him to eat all his dinner because kids were starving in China. Got smacked when he said name one.

Great response. My brother's response to that kids starving in China line as "mail it to them." As we got older, I had a modification that mentioned Sally Struthers. Neither went over very well.

Could be wrong, but I believe the only Cotton Bowl Montana played in was the ice game against UH.

Stand corrected, he did play in the 78 game too.

Yeh, I vividly remember that game, even though it was so long ago, because it was fricking freezing that day. Me and my buddies all snuck in half pints of wild turkey to drink with our cokes. I think we all finished our bottles by half time.
