Now that I think about it, it had to be 1994. That was Hallman's last year.

No, it was 93. That was the big 100 year anniversary of the football program. Our first game was against Tulane, so that was the game where the school made a big deal. I'm also sure because, at that time, we still did home and home with Tulame. We went to the Dome in 94. I know that because it was one of only 4 games that year we didn't get rained on. When you are in band and have to put on a coat, sit there, and keep watching the beating, it sticks with you.

Fun fact- We were making plans to go to Miami for the Carquest Bowl after beating Tulane that night. The band, cheerleaders and other support orgs have to stay on top of that stuff since we always go on bowl trips. All the Tigers had to do was beat a bad Arkansas team, which was no problem. That was a forgone conclusion all week. I remember talking to my family about it Thanksgiving before heading back for the game.

Oops. That was as close as Curley ever got. The entire band was EXTREMELY pissed off after that game. New Year's Eve in Miami would have been nice.
