Fifty-Yard-Line Club: Any members?
This thread was prompted by Brian's earlier link to John U. Bacon's article on the Big House, which I found to be pretty interesting, even though I already knew about a lot of it (cleaning up the stadium and running the steps were customary ROTC activities):

So, has anyone joined? Regrettably, I did not as a student, but I still intend to.... attempt an application. The article mentioned the stadium being locked up during the week nowadays, while construction is ongoing, and I think there is more security, so an attempt this year may be shot. Though, I'd love to "christen" the new stadium when it's complete =)
On a side note, I loved the Oosterbaan/Yost quote, which I had never seen: "Mr. Yost was feeling pretty good," the late Oosterbaan remembered. "We'd won, and the stadium was completely filled. He lighted up his cigar and turned to me and said, 'Bennie, do you know what the best thing about that new stadium is? Eighty-five thousand people paid five dollars apiece for their seats—and Bennie, they had to leave the seats there.'"

Yeah, ask anonymous internet posters whether they've had cool, risky sex in a forum where they have no incentive not to lie. That'll go swimmingly, I'm sure.
And no.

No lie, I read the body without following the link and thought it was another name for the Victor's Club seating section and did not understand the fuss. Sounds really uncomfortable any way you slice it though.

golf courses are a little snooty for my taste; but a nice par 3, with a low-cut fairway, in twilight, ... perfection.

Ahhhh the 1980's in Austin! I always smile when I see a UT home game.
September 20th, 2009 at 3:41 PM ^
Oh wait ...

I've never had sex on the 50 yard line, but I've drank wine on the 50 yard line.

Gee, I thought everything was bigger in Texas, but I guess they can't get it up to the 50... isn't there a pill for Yard-line Dysfunction Syndrome?
September 20th, 2009 at 5:18 PM ^
Good one Don!
My 40 yard line experience wasn't planned just happened.
"Bevo" and Beaver don't mix anyway.
I hope and pray that we get a home and home with Texas so I can return to the scene of the deed....

My friend has pictures of some people in the 50 yard line club. They went on the field after graduation this year.
September 20th, 2009 at 4:43 PM ^

Any of you run the steps at Michigan Stadium. Ski team used to have to do it too. Made about 3/4 of the way around but couldn't complete.
