Thanks Historian. Great film. I was in that parade.....as a pledge. I love the shot of the dad smoking a cigarette at Cameron park. Notice all the white short sleeve shirts and skinny ties.
We beat the Aggies 10-9 that day. It was John Bridgers last season. He was a coach who did a lot with a little....underrespected in my opinion. He was in many ways ahead of his time.....a really good offensive coach who was coaching with one hand tied behind his back.

I was a freshman. Also a big John Bridgers fan. Growing up in Woodway, a couple of assistants were neighbors and good family friends.
I was one about 500 fans that saw Bridgers last game that year vs Rice. In a driving rain.
And we replaced him with the worst coach ever……Bill Beall

Oh, Stranger was most likely there.GruntTuff said:
CT…..it was us and 498 others. I came back to Waco after Thanksgiving to party, make a few dollars and help Ruben Santos and the crew at the SUB where I worked build the Christmas tree in the foyer and decorate the building.
The rats pushing the whiskey bottles around in the attic at 1001 Speight made quite a noise. The cold weather had driven them inside.
I went to the game to escape the clanking and scratching.
I guess Stranger was in Ranger.

That was you in the panama hat? I thought it was Leon Redbone crashing our parade.Stranger said:historian said:
What a surprise! I'm actually in that film.
At about the 4:18 mark, I'm a NoZeman in a dark suit with a panama hat and a plunger over my shoulder handing out copies of the "Rope" to infidels on the near side of the street!

Culpepper never yelled, did he? :-) BTW, Thanks for mentioning my old "padna" and dear friend, the late Laney Cook. He was indeed an extraordinary athlete, as were many of the guys you mentioned.drahthaar said:
Dang, you guys were Iucky. I was already at the stadium getting ready for the game, which was at night, for crying' out loud. And my take--personal opinion here--- is that Beall was not the worst coach; that belongs to Kevin. I knew 'em both, and worked for Bridgers and Beall; knew the staffs well.Both Bridgers' and Beall's staffs had some capable coaches. Bridgers had some guys who were over-the-hill and needed to go long before the axe fell. I recall one playing mumbletypeg on the bench during a close game. Beall had some (too many) who did not know how or would not develop players over time: they are too used to dealing with Blue Chips. But they could yell a lot! One was flat out scary nuts when a football was rolled out. Unfortunately, these guys overshadowed some really good coaches and good men. it was a tough time for outstanding players like Richard Stevens, Dennis Dennard, Trent Phipps, Tommy Reaux, Rollin Hunter, Steve Stuart, Randy Cooper, Don Hugghins, Bob Stephenson, Laney Cook, Steve Lane.....

Does anybody recall a flying saucer fly over a Baylor homecoming bonfire? It was back in the late 1960s or early 1970s. I don't if it was a prank or what but the crowd went totally silent for a few seconds.

Somehow seems like he coached the 49ers.drahthaar said:
Anyone recall Pete McCulley, the haute couture offensive coach? later, for a short spell, was HC of the Los Angeles Rams. Taylor McNeel, Jack Little. Lee Harrington will resonate.
