You guys are truly the best in the biz! Thank you all for your hard work, your expertise and the quality content! Grateful to have found, and be a part of, this awesome community! 🫡🤘

I sort of doubt he'd be practicing right now if the idea was for him to miss most of the season.

OTF is the best in the business! I enjoy all the content and I appreciate the various perspectives. The board keeps it pretty civil. Thanks for this media product!

I was tired. My apologies.

Always!

That’s fair - vintage guys are the ones who I have built relationships with and will give you good deals. New age stuff is just so volatile, it’s hard to price correctly.

This is the correct way to approach a show. Whether it's a big or small show, there are too many dealers willing to negotiate a fair deal to try and haggle with people who seem inconvenienced by your presence.

At one time I had been to 30 consecutive Texas -OU games. Enjoyed every moment of all the traditional things surrounding the games. Had good seats and bad seats, hot weather and really hot weather. It even rained one year (2000?). Cactus Pryor interviewed Darrell Royal on TV the week of the OU Game in Coach Royal's first year of retirement. Cactus asked DKR what it was like going to the game as a former participant -- now merely having gone to the game as a guy with a ticket. Coach Royal's response stuck with me. "You know, Cactus, you've gotta really want to go to that game in that stadium in the middle of that State Fair crowd to endure all the hassles ( a good 1976-77 word) you have to go through just to get to that game!" One year a lady was seated behind my crew and she was brought to the Cotton Bowl Stadium obviously as a friend or a spouse because she was naive about what Coach Royal had noted to Cactus. And, it seemed as though she thought she was just along for a polite college football game. It was obviously her first Texas -OU game in person. Long before kickoff, she was asking if "these people" calm down when the game starts and if she was going to have to stand up for three hours to see any of the game, etc. A young man had enough of her soft attitude. He raised his voice and said, "Ma'am, with all due respect, we are wedged in here on this hot afternoon for a really big event. We merely SUBSIST for 364 days every year waiting for this moment to arrive." His language was a little more colorful, but you get the picture. The thought struck me then that the 45,000 Longhorns fans wedged into the Cotton Bowl Stadium's legendary small-ish seats for the OU Game every year are the most serious BEVO-loving fans in all of Longhorns Nation. Because they gotta want to be there to go through all the hassles like traffic, long lines to buy "tickets" as an added extra step to purchase a Fletcher's Corny Dog ( with or without mayo) and contribute to the University, etc., just to have a shot at getting to buy a game ticket. Or purchase tickets online, etc., at a considerable premium. To me, OTF is like the serious Texas fans at the OU Game every second Saturday in October. The OTF people are the fans who really, truly care. Their enthusiasm is sprinkled with Burnt Orange class, manners, humor and respect for their fellow alumni and friends of Longhorns football. . Looking forward to a championship season on OTF, Hook 'Em!

Tread carefully with Friendswood!! Haha

1. OTF is the best. Only site I pay for. HookEm 2. Gerry, a post like this is dangerous. The “Gerry is leaving us” went through my mind.

I loved this interview. It caught me off guard.

Well played for a Duck.

@Bobby Burton is the La Marque Cougars and Friendswood Mustangs fair game for smack talk lol asking for a friend…

Most aggies can’t spell ROI

Bobby likes to wear big hats, CJ likes to throw his hat, Gerry likes to manscape while he eats jerky, Rod begs for $50 super chats so that he can put on that helmet and relive the glory days, Blake likes to start videos halfway into the clips. Jeff’s cool though.

An ACL takes a full 12 months to recover. My daughter's surgeon (fixed her ACL) was John Baker, the team doc for the Stars, SMU, and formerly for the Cowboys. He said that they treat pros differently from amateurs to get them back on the field sooner. (No play, no pay.) You can get back into the game sooner but you'll pay for it when you're 40 years old. My daughter's rehab took a full year to get back to competitive condition. She never got comfortable turning (D1 softball) while hitting but is fine running in straight lines. She's done 8 marathons since college. I wouldn't expect to see Baxter on the field before November. No need to put his NFL prospects at risk.

Thanks for having us!

Bobby: “no foul language on the message boards” Bobby the moment he’s off OTF:

OTF is #1! Thank you gents.

OTF is the best there is. Bobby hates us Midwest folk, CJ is 5’2, Blake and Jeff are muted, and Gerry is a Aggie 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

Don’t scare folks. Joe is as harmless as a Dan Lanning cannonball on the recruiting trail. In all seriousness, welcome to all newcomers to the site. Hope you enjoy your time here. We try to keep things civil, enjoyable and adult (for the most part). Personal attacks, politics, unnecessary foul language and slurs are unwelcome and we moderate the community in that way. Always reach out to any of us if you have questions or need directions. Thanks for joining the OTF community. Hook’Em!
