This week, we wake up in the morning and our alarm gives off a warning, as the 100 Years of Buggy History Series heads to the 1990s. The battle over buggy funding between fraternities and independents becomes a years-long war, while the number of buggy organizations peaks before receding. The race got its first TV broadcast, some top teams kept winning while others collided, and Pittsburgh weather rears its ugly head again. Plus, SAE decided to celebrate Earth Day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1990 began a new decade, and with a new decade came a new team on top. But it took a little longer to find out who that team would be, thanks to rain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
