How old were you? I was barely a year and a half then, so if I saw it I wouldn't remember. Some of you old cats must be just this side of 80!
Have a on me.
I was 11.. Will be 70 in March.

Just wasn't that many until WKNO started delayed broadcasts; can't remember the year they started. I went to Memphis State from '75 and graduated in '79 and watched every home game with student/date ticket. Got season tickets in 1980 and had them until 2014. Went to every home game but 1 until recently. Went to almost every conference tournament since 1980. Have been to many arenas for regular season road games too and made many NCAA tourney trips.
So I haven't missed very many games televised or home games for close to 40 years. Was just curious when WKNO started their delayed broadcasts. Some were even live but not sure when.
I went to a few games in the Field House. Went to EVERY home game @ the Coliseum and Pyramid. Only missed 5 games at FXF until this season, No agenda just time and finances. I was in the pep band in St. Louis for the finals in '73.
You say you have missed some games now with no agenda but be honest if we were better and he wasn't ruining what so many on this thread hold very dear you could have made those 5 work, am I right? My point is it is just easier to miss now, sad
Uh, no. I had missed only 5 games @ FXF until this year. I have not been to a bball game this year. It has NOTHING TO DO with this team or coach or anything like that. Like I said, it is a financial situation. My wife was a
registered Nurse. She cannot work anymore and is trying to get disability. You know how that goes. Since she has not been able to work, we lost our house to foreclosure in May. I love tiger sports and enjoy going, but if I have an opportunity to make a little cash, I have to do it. I was only able to make 1 football game this year and that was the Kroger tickets game.
The only agenda I may have is against the a*****es that think they know what everyone else is thinking. Hey I went to games with Moe Iba and Tic Price. What's happening now is euphoric compared to some of that crap.
My bad I stand corrected, hope your situation is getting better now!!!
