    Regardless, a cool piece of Texas history for you all!

    The road to the SWC championship runs through Lubbock. They’re still waiting to see who’s on the road and when anyone is coming…but it’s in Lubbock lol

    This was almost a generation AFTER aggy won its last national championship.

    Also, was this picture taken from someone’s backyard? That fence is a bit out of place.

    Can you imagine if they would have had a drone show for that first game?  The people there would have thought we were being invaded by aliens .
