Abermathy’s. Had many a crazy night there.
Sandage before they turned it all into those dorms.
Jon’s Grille. Something about their swiss cheese.
The ol’ Burgers and Chinese Food stand.
The Pit in the student center.

I was in the Pit eating dinner when the word spread through campus that KD and others were kicked off the football team. Didn't believe it at first.

Was I supposed to type something here?
Jeez, people! No fondness for the Texas Sampler, and the delicious Chili and Eggs? Breakfast of Champions, man!
A second for JJ's Hideaway. And JJ's Whatever up by Montgomery Ward with the unforgettable phone number: 870-BEER.
$1 Pitcher night at White Elephant.
Whatever the Sports Bar was that took over the spot where The Keg used to be, and had the delicious Habanero-Ranch to dip fries in.
The SuSu Lounge ("Fort Worth's Darkest Bar").
A Whammy at the old Louie's Backyard on SPI...

With the looming Covid’s, this idea may make a comeback. Isolated socially distanced seating!
Lunch views at Eden’s Greens
$4 Shiner Bock pitchers at the Hi Hat and Pub my senior year
Winning $ at pool upstairs at the Hi Hat
Old AGC atmosphere for a big game (what few there were)
Living off but close to campus so walked to class, bars, whatever
Being 21 - though I have little complaint where things have gone from there
Football Frogs being a team that could beat anyone

Things I miss: being 63.
Sprint Darted off this mortal coil about 4 years ago
Edit: adding the thread for those who may have missed.
RIP, Gunner
Read on the 247 that the poster known as Purple Pain, or Gunner, as he was known here, passed away Monday. Prayers to his family as they sort out what is surely a difficult situation. I know he caught a lot of flak for many of his football opinions but he surely loved the Frogs.

Reading this thread, there are a lot of old(er) people here. Though some good things.
I think I was the only one eating at the Greek House by the Pub since there weren't many lines there, but the food was good. Plus the guy working there was nice.

Feel like a dork typing sticks, instead of stilts.
Duh
And I’d be remiss not mentioning missing my dear friend Tony Eierdam (aka: 2314)
35+ years of him being a loyal buddy who would have done anything for a friend.
Really, really good dude

The Old South Pancake House @ 10' pm along with 30 to 40 others cramming for semester finals. And, 8th street theatre with foreign movies. Name has no place in my mind, but the hotel at the corner of Berry-Eight and University. How about Topsy's Dinner across the street from Casa. Remember any of these asleep? Oh and getting in free at the rodeo south back entrance. one more...THE CELLAR. Next door roomates at Clark, Donnie Smith and Rox Covert. Yes the guy who now owns ALL of the Covert Car dealerships in and around Austin. He was a better golfer than football player and he was pretty dang good in football too.

Goff's...and the loveliest Zetas, Tri Delts, etc. A girl named Sue Funk (real name) she was so beautiful every guy on campus just knew she had a date and didn't ask her out, so cute Sue sat in her dorm room lonely. KTCU and its 10 or 20 watt transmitter in the basement at .. hall. In those days TCU OWNED the Miss Texas Pageant. Yr after yr the Frogs were the prettiest girls in the state and produced so many celebrities' -one or two that became Broadway's biggest. Finest stars ever whose name will always be remembered. Bob Lilly lifting a Volkswagen and putting it on the side walk. Playing golf on worth hills and later getting two cafeteria trays and sledding the snow on worth hills of March 10th.
