Yes sir I do. Graduated a long time ago and thought I should let people know I have my MBA.

Best,
Hugh

Heck yeah, late 70’s fun times
we’d have the Mall page Mike Hunt over the speakers, they’d fall for it every time
we even managed to get the Astrodome to post on the old scoreboard paging Dr Jack Meoff
stupid, immature
maybe, probably but we sure laughed a lot

I’ve got that one too. And the Astrodome seats.

I can’t believe I missed the opportunity to walk into the Astrodome and purchase one of those seats. I must have been traveling. The last time I was in the dome was for a HS football game. So many great memories there.

Was Old Cougar Field in the same place as the stadium now?

It looks like it. Zoom in and you can see the construction work going on for the Alumni Center.

They need to bring that Spring Break/Family Fun vibe back to the field. The Noble years were fun!

Especially the winning part along with hosting teams like LSU!

Myself, a lawn chair, a cooler of PBR, and about a thousand yellowjackets watched many a Saturday afternoon doubleheader for free underneath the wax leaf ligustrums outside the right field chain length fence at old Cougar Field.

I hate yellow jackets. They feel like a brick to the head. I can’t understand how anyone could stay 100 ft from those beasts

Are we talking about the crack of a wood bat days or the age of aluminum?

I don’t mind Yellowjackets.

The TV announcers on the Sunday telecast were laughing about batters going to the plate and trying to dig their cleats into the dirt. “It’s all carpet! Old habits die hard!”

I do wish we had a grass field, but I’d settle for real dirt in the infield and pitcher’s mound.

Unfortunately, aluminum bats.

 thats just it. We offended the baseball gods by switching to that crap field instead of staying with the natural stuff, Cougar Field has never been the same. :disappointed_relieved:

I liked calling it Cougar Field better.
