You see Bill Connelly drop his Big 12 preview and he has Texas Tech at the top and us somewhere in the middle again. I think back to the old Amon G. Carter Stadium nights in the late 80s when the stands would shake and you could feel every hit from the bleachers. We used to pack that place for the Southwest Conference games against Arkansas and Texas A&M and you could hear the cowbells from the parking lot three hours before kickoff. Now they want to talk about our rankng based on transfer portal math and recruiting stars. I miss the days when fall camp meant watching walk-ons earn their stripes and kids from Fort Worth who grew up dreaming of playing in that stadium. The new stadium additions are nice but nothing beats the way that old concrete used to rumble when we got a stop on third down.
