Snake Pit
Back in the 1960s and early 1970s, the Men's Gym -- today's Bahnsen Gym -- was quite the scene for basketball games. Mark Miller ('70, '80 M.B.A.) recalls a game where some students let loose a live snake on the court. "The games were absolutely packed with students and were so loud the metal walls would shake from the stomping of feet and cheering," Miller says. Basketball games moved to the Super Pit, the UNT Coliseum, in 1973.
