2. Back in the time when you were lucky to see your team twice a year on TV

and then in a bowl game, we used to listen to the radio for most games. Our local station was fine for day games, but it had to cut its power from 5000 watts to 500 at dusk. The old tube type Zenith AM radio couldn't pick out the signal after dark and we would have to sit out in the car which had a better reception, maybe due to a better antenna. My earliest memory of those games was Pat Trammell as Alabama's QB, so I must have been about five. Later it was Joe Namath in those early games I listened to with my dad.
