Yes, I was there. We had about 3 to 4 couples in the 70's that used to travel to one or two road games a year. However life happens and we all moved away from Dallas, although I returned in 1974. I had two sons under 5 and was trying to start a new business so I missed the majority of Hayden's tenure. While in S.. Louis 68/70' my wife and I drove to Rolla, Missouri and rented a motel room to watch North Texas play Tulsa on a black and white t.v. Rolla was the closest town that carried the game and I think we lost. My wife was pissed as the road trip we much longer than anticipated. The best trip, bar none, was in 1988 when my then 13 year old son and I flew with the basketball team to the NCAA Sub Regionals in Salt Lake City. The day we arrived the Mavericks were in town so we saw them play that evening at the Salt Palace. The next day we were on Utah's campus and saw the Eagles pounded by J.R. Reed and the North Carolina Tar Heels. The second game was Wyoming vs Loyola Marymont [sic] where the teams scored a combined 250 points. I still have never see a college basketball game to match it.
These “new” uniforms look a lot like the ones we wore vs. LaTech at the Mean Joe statue unveiling. Seems like we also wore something very similar on a few occasions 2 or 3 years ago. Not complaining, just discussing.
