Strouse's and Adam's followup to BYE BYE BIRDIE was a collegiate musical called ALL AMERICAN.
On which college campus did most of the musical take place?
GOOD LUCK, Everybody!

THANK YOU, Jose'!
CONGRATULATIONS on getting YET ANOTHER T.P. Correct!
YES, Southern Baptist Institute of Technology (SBIT for short) was where most of ALL AMERICAN took place.
(Incidentialy, ALL AMERICAN had a book by Mel Brooks.)
NICE JOB, Jose'!
Now for your bonus points:
What is the only song remembered from the score of ALL AMERICAN?
(it was recorded by Frank Sinatra)

EXCELLENT, CM2!
YES, "Once Upon a Time" is the only song remembered from the score of the short-lived ALL AMERICAN.
Well, its good I have TWO prizes tonight!!!
Jose', you and CM2 are immigrant College professors--and are going to use your theories in Physics to turn the campus nerd into a hero on the football field! You'll also find love along the way, of course, with SBIT's Dean of Women 
THANKS for playing, folks!
It's ALMOST the Weekend!!!

"Once Upon a Time":
Once upon a time
A girl with moonlight in her eyes
Put her hand in mine
And said she loved me so
But that was once upon a time
Very long ago
Once upon a hill
We sat beneath a willow tree
Counting all the stars and waiting for the dawn
But that was once upon a time
Now the tree is gone
How the breeze ruffled through her hair
How we always laughed as though tomorrow wasn't there
We were young and didn't have a care
Where did it go
Once upon a time
The world was sweeter than we knew
Everything was ours
How happy we were then
But somehow once upon a time
Never comes again
Once upon a time
Never comes again
Music: Charles Strouse
