What age is too young...
My Pa Pa taught me how to drive his old column shift truck down his local bumpy roads outside Leona (~79). I was barely tall enough to push in the clutch. He just said don’t worry, as we won’t need to go past second gear. Hook’em!!!

Texas vs. Arkansas - 11:00am on ABC
Dad “played” from 60-63 seasons and NEVER lost to the Trifecta of Hate! Yes, Arky broke the streak on a failed 2-point conversion, and went on to win the ‘64 NC. That’s the team with Jerry Jones and Jimmy Johnson. The end of that season saw the Horns beat Bama (with Joe Namath) in the Orange Bowl. That’s where the famous picture of Nobis/Culpepper was taken from the goal line stand to win the game. Hook’em!!!

Negative Recruiting Your Own School: The aggy Screenshot Megathread
Shit - I go back to the Randall’s or Krogers days of North EZ tickets going for $5. My Dad and I saw Phil Dawsons’ kick to beat Virginia, and the Barber Brothers, during the ‘95 season from those seats. Times have changed. Hook’em!!!

Tell Me About Texas a&m
Yes - as a HS grad, Class of 88, growing up in SETX with an abundance of aggy relatives, classmates/fans, and families, many of those only walked on that campus for game days, but I digress. The JS era was painful as a youth/UT fan. That timeframe saw that our only saving grace was baseball! Each Christmas, my Dad knew that I wanted something “real UT,” and my teenage years being in SETX, he’d only be left with Austin (Rooster’s), so props to my Dad with me growing up prior to the pre-internet era of purchases. If the Baseball players or FB Coaches wore it in/on the dugout or the sideline (TV), I got a version of it. Hook’em!!!

2024 Texas High School Football
Judson lost the continuity of their program roughly two decades ago. DW retired, a long time staff member and close friend of my family (Jeter) retired from coaching and became the JISD AD. Within years after that, the multiple HS additions diluted Judson’s reign on athletes in that area. Multiple FB HC hires couldn’t bring it back to the “Diamond J” era. Even one of their former alumni is/was coaching (HC) at SA Johnson, instead of there. As a former HSFB official, I’ve seen their decline firsthand over the previous decade. Having to do sub-varsity weekday games, I’ve witnessed the decline in JISD down to the JR High level. When I first started officiating, I used to love doing a Judson vs Steele or Schertz Clem JV game on Thursday, as the speed of the game, even at that level, I was going to witness better athletes than my 2-3A game the next night. Hell, either of those JV squads would’ve beat both teams I officiated the next night. Hook’em!!!

Tom Herman 𝗁̷Fired by Florida Atlantic
David was my Dad’s go to for years for away game tickets, as well as extras at home games. Both were teammates and roomed together for a semester or two. Dad seriously considered joing his staff when he was at Tech, but the recruiting, as well as living in Lubbock really mentally shrank his idea of leaving a HC/AD position in HS for at the time a small pay bump. Hook’em!!!

Game Week 13: Kentucky at Texas
My first DVR’d (is that a word?) game for the Longhorns, either present or on tv, as my Niece gets married at 3:00. D/T Austin at St. Mary’s. Wife won’t let me swing by LH Blvd. for pregame festivities. Reception is half way to Dripping Springs, so my phone will let me watch the Army vs Notre Dame game. We need a solid closeout game for the Seniors. From where they started in the program to today is an awesome change for them and the Longhorn program. Hook’em!!!

ESPN GAME DAY
He’s a “wrestler” that is part of McAfee’s schtick. I do love Pat’s show during lunch on ESPN, but Texas’ road win on Arky tops it all. Hook’em!!!

2024 Texas High School Football
The loss was the following week, after their great RB got his leg broke, in a late tackle/hit out of bounds (1st Qtr). A 15 yard personal foul doesn’t make up for the rest of the season. They lost the last game to a decent Waxahatchie team, but I digress. The eventual State Champion, Rockwall, they beat 28-0 in a pre-season scrimmage. Hook’em!!!

2024 Texas High School Football
Times have certainly changed, as my Dad coached a DeSoto team that didn’t make the playoffs in the early ‘80s, going 8-1-1. The game they tied, they lost on “penetrations” into the RZ. So no playoffs! Hook’em!!!

Español Broadcast
If I had to be on a fishing boat or etc during a live game, I’d love to listen to their broadcast. So much “excitement” on each positive play. You have to listen hard to see if the Horns scored or not! Hook’em!!!

Cowboy Boots
Still haven’t received word from Surly - “Art Vandelay” that he’s not about to join the family or not? Niece buying him boots prior to the wedding would be spot on, as even though she makes 6 figs herself, she’s still on my BILs allowance. Can’t do nothing but shake my head, as he has done so much for my family in desperate situations. Hook’em!!!

Game Week 10, Texas at Arkansas
Dad played for UT from 60-63. They never lost to OU, Arky, or aggy while he was on the 40 Acres. Hook’em!!!

What time will A&M game kick? WTF Wedding shower at 3 pm....
I’m missing the Kentucky game for my Nieces’ wedding, at MFng game time (3:00) in downtown Austin. BIL, also a UT grad, is $$$ compared to me and not even close, has an open bar at the reception in damn near Drip. Already told the wife she’s driving home! Hook’em!!!
