Ahhh, the Stadium Dorm. Never lived there, but spent a LOT of time there with your brothers and my brother. I took my grandson to last year’s Spring Game. He was almost 7. Afterwards I took him down the West side to the “tower” and showed him the room “Uncle Tim lived in a long time ago”. He was suitably impressed; “Cool”, he said.

Thanks for your input, Gabriel. It’s good to hear the perspective of someone who was living there at the bitter end.

I loved every minute to living there in the 1997-1998 school year, except for the meeting where Andy Geiger, Bill Hall, and David Williams came to tell us they were tearing out the dorm to make room for luxury suites. I understand the need for renovations, but boy that meeting hurt. I still have a press release flyer we tried to distribute to the ABC Sports crews on a game day trying to stop the renovations. ABC’s Jack Arute took one, autographed it, and handed it back. Brent Musberger warned us to quit bothering his producers. A few minutes later, Gordon Gee strolled by and told us he appreciated what we were trying to do (although we understood he was committed to renovations).

Bob,

You’ve done it again. What a great way to honor your time spent living in the shoe. It’s often the little stories that give us the best memories even if they seem minuscule at the time.

Oh, we used to DREAM of windows that would open!

Bob,

One of my favorite memories of living in the Stadium Dorm was game day Saturday mornings. We would hang out of the unit D window and people would think we were football players and ask for our autographs. We were more than happy to oblige, writing any player’s name on a piece of paper and throwing it down to them. There are probably people around today who think they have Art Schlichter’s autograph. Of course, given Art’s past, my forgery of his signature is likely just as valuable.
