Quips and quotes from Texas college sports history
A listener notes how Jim Crow era style quips marked Texas college athletics brief histories. It recalls TCU conference moves from Southwest to Big East and Big 12, with rivalries resurfacing and old coach barbs. The piece riffs on memorable lines from Darrell Royal and Gil Steinke, and criticizes on-air vulgarity in sports coverage. It closes with a plug for Dr. Newbury in Dallas.
