[QUOTE="EJ33, post: 1199365, member: 110999"] My Dad, an alum, took me to see Illinois vs. Texas A&M on October 2, 1976. I had to look up the result - we lost 14-7. I remember a couple things: 1) TA&M had a barefoot kicker - [URL="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Franklin_(American_football)"]Tony Franklin[/URL], who set several NCAA records and had a long pro career. 2) [URL="https://www.google.com/search?q=ibm+computer+cards&espv=2&biw=1281&bih=768&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjrjdSS47LLAhXGGz4KHXJ2D5AQ_AUIBigB&dpr=1"]IBM punch cards[/URL] were thrown around like confetti. We weren't any good at the time (Gary Moeller was the coach), but there was a pretty good crowd IIRC. [/QUOTE]
