    Is there a compilation book for Bill Dyers’s old Dyergrams that used to be such a big part of UT history? If you google the term nothing (and I mean NO. THING.) shows up in images. Not much will show up as far as website hits either and that’s baffling to me.

    I’ve never heard of this. It’s a book about UT or UT football?

    Unfortunately, the link to an example doesn’t work. I wonder if the KNS (or the Dyer family) has put the kabosh on any reprints??!

    I’ve got a copy of Russ Bebb’s “The Big Orange” at the house and it’s got at least one example. I’ll try to get a photo up later tonight after work.

    I’ve got a friend who bought a whole scrapbook collection of them.

    Yeah, you can just see the thumbnail. In another search, he looks to have copyrighted everything, and hence, not found on the interwebz.

    One step ahead of me, as always... thanks for clearing that up!

    If it’s copyrighted material, I won’t post any pictures out of Bebb’s book then... don’t want to bring trouble here. Plenty enough as it is...

    No, no - sorry, I didn’t mean it like that, at all. I literally meant that this likely explains why his work is largely missing / hard to find - because he locked it down years ago.

    See highlighted parts - it looks like he copyrighted his stuff, and that’s probably why it’s so hard to now find it.
