I remember Pam Morgan. No, not like that. I wish.
I actually saw her about 10 years after I graduated randomly at a Publix and by that time, she had married her college sweetheart. I didn't care anymore because I had already locked up Mrs. BigDik who was finer than Pam (yeah I'm biased, not some Culo Conquedor del Internet).

TOC - you have mad reserves of trinkets of nostalgia don't you? Like I bet you still have stashed away somewhere the blue ribbon you won at debate camp in 1984 in Leesburg for the 8th grade State Debate finals. Thanks for sharing this pic....it's made me nostalgic, happy and feeling old all at the same time!

I actually have very little nostalgia. My mom kept all my stuff from high school (I wasn’t moving THAT **** to Coral Gables), and most of the stuff I collected in college got lost in multiple dorm moves, Hurricane evacs, multiple girlfriend cohabitations, and various trips up and down the Turnpike when my trunk lid may or may not have popped open at 90 mph.

Having said that, I recently found one of my old Homecoming Executive Committee polo shirts. And I have a small collection of fitted UM baseball hats (the ones we wore on the baseball diamond) that no longer fit my swole head.

How many sizes too small is that polo shirt today? I don't have that issue - I was fat in college too.

Thanks for being a sport. The comments were terrific and if it makes you feel better, my mother gave me my varsity jacket (from high school) about 4-5 years ago. Mind you, I live in California, she lives in Florida. I was just like..."Gee mom, uhhh....thanks?" It went into a clothes for the homeless bin between her house and the airport. So if you see some homeless looking dude in Florida rockin a vintage 80's varsity lettermans jacket, you'll know it was once worn by me.
 
I don't know if they still give out as much of the t-shirt swag as they did while I was there from '87-'90, but my wife figured out a useful way to repurpose the shirts into a t-shirt quilt. This quilt always brings back school memories. (side note: I grew up in Kansas, hence the other Wichita State and KU references).

I believe the "size" of the polo is only one size too small...but it was created in the days before Dri-Fit and modern polyester fibers, so the cotton has suffered from George-Costanza-like shrinkage...

You can’t bullschitt an old bullschitter 😂
 
That’s awesome. My niece is a freshman and takes photos for the yearbook. Has been on the sideline for a few games grabbing photos. I have told here 100 times to keep an extra Hardrive to keep all her photos. She won’t regret it
 
2 cheerleaders were in one of my classes in 1987 or 1988- from this photo I remember Bill and I think Jennifer was the other one.
