[QUOTE="Frog DJ, post: 2541423, member: 4918"] It 's not really my style, but I sincerely hope I wasn't guilty of that. By the way, for those who are hesitant to invest the half hour or so it would take to read the Texas Monthly link I posted earlier - here's a short excerpt: [COLOR=#8000ff]We started a bulletin board of pretentious literary leads clipped from other newspapers, and we celebrated great events in songs that we wrote. The genealogy of “You Never Went to That School, Buddy,” says a lot about the pride we took in our profession. There was once a TCU journalism student named Jim Hendrix who was a friend of mine and later became editor of a national aviation magazine, but on this particular day Hendrix couldn’t rise to the occasion, as was absolutely required in the peer group. It was the 1956 TCU-Texas A&M game. The Aggies won it, 7-6, in the final quarter. It had to rank as one of the most bitter defeats in TCU history, but when Blackie ordered Hendrix to the dressing room to gather some post-game quotes, Jim refused. “I can’t do it,” he said. “I can’t face those guys after what happened.” “That’s not a very professional attitude,” Blackie told him. Hendrix gave him a hard, hurt look and said, “That’s easy for you to say…but you never went to that school, buddy.” To which Todd and Jenkins quickly penned these words: [/COLOR] [I][COLOR=#8000ff]You never went to that school, buddy.[/COLOR][/I] [I][COLOR=#8000ff]You never lived in Tom Brown Hall.[/COLOR][/I] [I][COLOR=#8000ff]You ain’t had no dealings with M.E. Sadler[/COLOR][/I] [I][COLOR=#8000ff]You never attended a Howdy Week Ball.[/COLOR][/I] [COLOR=#8000ff] I’m not certain, but I would guess that song had something to do with the fact Jim Hendrix soon left Fort Worth and never returned.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]There's more where that came from... Go Frogs![/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
