[QUOTE="Toad Jones, post: 3067287, member: 74209"] Some of you will remember Abe used a folding chair along the sidelines. Sat on the top of the chairback and fell off. It really embarrassed him. Believe it not, that incident made it all the way to Sports Illustrated. I don't think Abe sat down again during a game. Make no mistake, he won several Southwest Conference titles. If you ever happen to see a picture of our guys sitting and laying on the locker room floor during half time, look closely b/c you'll see one or two all American's. Abe is telling his boys what he wants in the next two quarters. BTW that picture became famous and is still out there. His style was folksy but pulled no punches. 18,000 K + 22,000, was a pretty good crowd. Seems like UT had around 35-45 K. Down the line I'll again bring up an old memories and how far we've cone today. Here's a teaser: A&M game. A TCU student (believe it was a ranch student) who sat behind the A&M bench, made some remarks about A&M recver's being a certain soft furred animal. He kept it up and before long a little scuffle broke out. It moved to the enter of the field and became a brawl. The police couldn't handle the volume of kids and the fights going on. They called for back up to restore order. That fight lasted quite some time with several in the hospital. After that game the administration ordered no one on the field after or during the game. That order still stands today. [/QUOTE]
