UT Game

The UT game is usually the biggest game of the year for Tech. Since 1976, I have attended all but 2 of these games, and one of those was because Derek had a UNH playoff soccer game the same day.

While I almost never expect to beat the Evil Empire, I expected this to be a down year for them which gave me some hope. Unfortunately, it was not our night. The EE won 24-14.

The best thing about Tech/UT games is that they serve as annual mini-family reunions. My cousin, Matt, is a UT graduate his parents, Bob and Joy, live in Austin and are big UT boosters. They all came up for the game. We also had a nice visit from Paul Guest, who Derek used to play soccer with in Dallas before we moved to PA.

On the Tech side, we had my mom, brother Terry, son Derek, college brothers Gary and Elrod, Mick, and myself. Other than the game itself, we all had a great time.

A gift from Bob and Joy. I can now navigate the RV in style.

Good times.
