CJ: "Trevor Goosby is amped"

Dec 6th, 1969, 1st football game I ever watched. I was a 7th grader and AF brat, football was something you played at that age. Dad had been assigned a year unaccompanied (no dependents) to Korea. I suspect my Cousin Ronnie, who was a film and journalism major at TEXAS, had something to do with it, I'm not sure. But I knew I was hooked (not sorry for the pun). Watched the game on an old black and white TV, we were living in an apartment out the gate of Randolph. BTW, Randolph Field was 1-0-1 vs the Longhorns during the WWII war years. Dad was from Pandora, Texas, a south Texas town that has been absorbed into Nixon, Texas, which isn't much bigger. Most of the family were Aggies as they were mostly farmers, many still are. Dad served in the Pacific, while Uncle Ferd was a B-26 crewman, flew 2 missions on D-Day, and came home with a Silver Star. Uncle Milton (Uncle by marriage) ran one of the peanut farms in Dilley, Texas, and was a Marine at Iwo Jima. 2 years later when I was trying to play HS football, we were visited by on again, off again starting LB for the Horns Bruce Cannon, who had been a star at Randolph. Bruce passed away recently after returning to Randolph to run the school. I graduated the same year as Earl Campbell and we were proud, we were the last San Antonio team still standing in that chilly Decemeber Good morning my friend. And yes Gerry and Jeff Howe do GREAT work but F Frienswood. Really enjoying the site. Gerry's Dad's team (Friendswood) would rather unceremoniously end our playoff dreams one step from the title, F Friendswood. It was an unlikely run that year but I got to play against such Longhorn legends as Brad Shearer from Westlake (his coach, Ken Dabbs would be hired by TEXAS with the sole purpose of recruiting Ricky) and Steve McMichael from Freer.

🤣 I'll see you pants wetters after the game you guys will have me wanting to jump of the balcony

According to CJ, Connor Stroh is the No. 1 LG in warmups in Columbus.

I’m seeing the spread anywhere from Ohio State still -1.5, but the best Texas line I have seen is pick’em

Congrats on your son, commiserations on what's about to happen on the field. HookEm
