CJ -- I was a student at Texas way back in the '70s and I had a GF who used to say "there are some you marry but more you practice on."

We dated at UT and for several years after... then we both got married to others. I got divorced after 21 years of marriage and she is still married.

With the Michigan and Ohio U head coaches in mind, you be careful around the Forty Acres and remember you aren't a student anymore!

Hook 'Em!

That is superb advice lol!

Will find the one one of these days right?

CJ-- I have no doubt and lots of faith in your future. I'm sure you will Choose Wisely (Indiana Jones reference)!

Seriously, be as sure as you can be about your choice. Any little things you aren't comfortable with can get magnified over time, so consider that, but also realize there's probably never going to be a perfect match.

In retrospect, I chose the wrong GF and got divorced after 21 years of marriage but I got a wonderful daughter out of it all. She graduated from UT with High Honors in 2017 and lives in Los Angeles and works for Riot games.

Thanks for all your good work. You are appreciated and respected by the OTF audience.

Hook 'Em!

From a woman’s perspective, who’s divorced from my college sweetheart, and now very happily married, pick wisely & don’t settle. In my humble opinion, men are pretty easy to please, while we can be much more complicated & manipulative (and sometimes downright mean). Run from anyone trying to change you, keep you away from your friends, or is overly demanding. Find a woman who is low maintenance, is a giver not a taker, and one who is kind-hearted (& longhorn fan🤘).

Well, that just about covers it!

I didn't choose wisely when I didn't propose to my GF from UT. When she heard I was engaged she showed up at my workplace in Downtown Houston (she lived in Dallas) and tried to talk me out of my mistake.

I felt like I had "given my word" and couldn't go back on the engagement... even though I really wanted to.

21 years later I got divorced because my Ex was just always unhappy about something or other.

I do have a daughter who graduated from UT in 2017 and is engaged to a young man I like, so it wasn't a total loss.

My GF from UT days is still married and doing well. My Ex got remarried within a couple of years. I never even went out on a coffee date because I just prefer living the single life.

Your post is excellent and your man is fortunate to have you.

We all have one thing in common. We love the Longhorns, so Hook 'Em!!!

Thank you for the thoughtful response! When things are meant to be, they have a way of falling into place perfectly. 

Sounds like you raised your daughter well - you must be so proud of her. Best wishes to her and her fiancée. 

Totally agree on the Longhorns - they are my favorite distraction. If they are unsuccessful, there is always next year or next sport 🤘

in this day and age, i'm not to concerned about social media promoting.  It is what is now.  I'm more concerned with the flip floppers.  you know they are going to be the first in the portal after 1 season if they aren't starting or playing significant snaps.

That part... self promotion drives up NIL and to think we wouldn't and it wouldn't be a factor is just downright dishonest.

Get you a Latina @CJ Vogel you may wake up with a knife against your throat but they’re fun lol 😂

You aren't getting any younger

As for being around UT, remember Wooderson.  "I get a year older every year but they are still the same."

Remember women want children (by 35)  and mother's want grandchildren.  Do what you want to do, not what they want you to do.

Hilarious post @Purplehorn3 .

 

I agree wholeheartedly on the social media guys. To add to that, the recruits who spend all season posting about "proving people wrong" and calling out haters and doubters. Just get to work.

Another red flag is top rated recruits who are not considered captains for their squad on their senior season.

A study I have always wanted to get into is kids who commit to 3 or more different schools, what is their success rate/bust rate at the next level and how often are they to transfer out of their first school. I am way out on most kids who commit and flip to three or more schools.

But what if it’s the same school multiple different times? 😂😂 think you know who I am talking about. Guy has a longer commit/decommit timeline than my wife’s weekly target shopping list.
