Some old dusty photos...

Now that you mention it...

The '98 Sun Bowl was a noon kickoff under a brilliant blue sky. The photo looks like it is taken at dusk, with the Stadium lights on and long shadows under the stands. Could be this is an earlier game from the early 80's with UT as a participant, probably the '82 game.

Stadium lights are usually turned on to enhance TV image....and IIRC, the game did end around 4 p.m.....The "mountains" surrounding the stadium in El Paso could certainly cast shadows which would be combatted by the lights....

TCU had just bought them that year. Brand new (if memory serves) Conn brass Sousaphones. For the first game, to show off the new gear, we tuba players all marched out front of the Band at Halftime and played "The Baby Elephant March" on the new horns. Since they were new, the valves were sticky, so I'm sure it sounded like crap. Oh, well...

Just looking at the size of the Band back then, wow! There weren't very many of us, were there!

Not sure what year, the band would send a small group to play the good old fight song from different portals around the stadium. Liked that.

'84. One had to be very, very careful walking through the portals on the old upper deck wearing a tuba...

CLANG!

You had to be very careful up there stone cold sober with a coke and a frog dog! I remember the first time I walked out to my seat and thought if I trip, I’m going to end up on the 45…
