Awesome!
Still, he's probably underrated. But #3 in all of college football is pretty cool.

And I thought I was a glutton for punishment. We should honor the guy this year at halftime. Wow! Hats off to Mr. Ables.

I thought Tom had been to every Aztec game, home and away, beginning in 1946 with the exception of two; one because he had to go to a wedding and the other because he didn't have the money to fly to Hawaii. Does anybody know the correct story?

Does anybody know the correct story? AzWm I know the correct story. You are correct on Hawaii. As for the other, no wedding would keep him from an Aztec game (he and Mrs. A were married in July). He missed at Cal Poly in 1964 because he was sick, although he now thinks he should have gone. Been to every home game since he got out of the Navy in August 1946. |

The Hawaii game was the Jan 1, 1952 Pineapple Bowl
His overall record does not include games he saw before he was 20.

This man deserves a statue or at least a bowl win.
