I saw Dempsey kick his 63 yarder in Tulane stadium. Will never forget it.

our old F150 that had the dimmer switch also had a deer’s nutsack over the 4-wheel drive gear shift. It was always funny to explain to people why our shifter was fur.
He passed away when I was very young, so I don't remember the car too well. I know it was rare then; at least there weren't many on the road.
I remember the day you could hide because there were no cell phones or cell towers. Parents today would go OKinsane if they knew where you were.
The first election was Reagan, but I remember the Carter years very well.
Mine has the same thing. It also doesn't have power steering, a heater, a radio, or doors. My gas tank is directly underneath the driver's seat.
I still get my foot caught in the steering when l dim my lights.
This is the Chrysler one I remember and actually drove a time or two. Our preachers wife had one and I drove it

* This is my 64th consecutive year of attending Bulldog football games.
* I watched Bulldog baseball before Duty Noble was in its current location.
* I attended many basketball games in the old gym.
* I saw what was left of Old Main Dorm the morning after it burned.
* I remember when Jack Cristil was a young man.
* we dialed rotary phones and talked on party lines.
* We watched black and white tv because there was no color tv.
* all we had was AM radio.
* Life was good and people were much kinder and respectful of each other.

Bet you had one of these to keep it from warping too didn't you? Mine had wingnuts that you could just spin to tighten it up after you put it on. I guess the MS humidity was responsible for thousands of those being sold
Reagan, and Kennedy, have been mythologized so much after their presidencies that the actual presidencies would be hardly recognizable.
I was there with you. Summer before my 9th grade year too. Can confirm. Richard Williams was the absolute worst. He did find me wondering around at the Hump looking for where I was supposed to be (I was supposed to be at McCarthy) and gave me a ride over in his new Firebird. He asked where I was from, then started asking me about a high school player from there. The real reason for the camps.
Not quite that old, but I enjoyed trips to the grandparents because they lived in town and had cable. Could watch WCW, the Cubs, and the Braves at their house.
When I was a teen ager, shot BB guns with Elvis when he visited the swamp.
So the response to that is either
if you are an old fart or still
with a little if you're a dubmass Millennial or Gen z.***Somebody has to ask. It was the car you were driving, right???
and that color TV had 12 different knobs to adjust the color. God it was hard to get straight when you got it screwed up.
I own a 1979 Cadillac Coupe DeVille with the dimmer switch on the floorboard. I never use it though as I like to keep my brights on, not because I'm an *******, it's because these old lights are dimmer than my golf carts.
I saw Spook Murphy’s Memphis Tigers beat us at Scott Field in 1962, 28-7. The South Farm was still a farm. Who said they were old?
I remember the day my Dad brought home a new 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air. Who said they were old?
I remember when WW II vets were still young men. Who said they were old?

I'm so old I grew up looking at nudie books when there was still a LOT of grass on the playing field, if you know what I mean.........Grass on the field, "PLAY BALL"..........
Ditto on my 64 , although I did find a hard top and doors years ago. Had it blasted and powder coated, new glass, new seals and gaskets, even new tracks for the roll up windows. Never have put it on! Mine does have the original cruise control. It came factory equipped with a PTO winch so there is a pull type throttle in the dash.
I have a car and a truck with dimmer switch and to really prove I'm old I wanna know why we don't run the wishbone. Far Lebby and har that Army coach. We could dominate the SEC
As a young kid, I used to watch the following shows all in a row on the same night: Happy Days, Laverne and Shirley, Three's Company, and Soap.
I was also a fan of Charlie's Angels.

I was also at 62 Memphis State game.
i was there---I got the fullbacks chinstrap.. we might have lost the game but when they tried to tear down our goal post--they got they asses whipped.
I was listening on my transistor radio when we beat the Bear and my wife was saying what are you doing jumping around and hollering. Now I would just lower my foot rest on my recliner and stomp the floor.
Now that I think about it, I think that was summer before 8th grade for me. They were building the upper deck west side and the skeleton was up. I think that was summer “84. The next year it was Bulldog Basketball Camp, and Williams was head coach.
