What I Would Change About On Texas Football


KlondikeMike

Recommended Posts

Nothing! I would change absolutely nothing about On Texas Football with respect to content, choice of topics, or the terrific hosts and guests which regularly appear on the channel. Thank you, gentlemen! I am so grateful for the constant effort and execution. In my perfect world, I WOULD prefer, however, that three simple housekeeping items were observed:

1. No hats indoors

2. Business casual dress code.

3. No phrases ending with the word “at.“

At the extreme risk of coming across as ungrateful or arrogant, especially as a fellow Texas alum/fan, let me address each of these items in turn.

1. My Dad absolutely hammered into me that hats were never to be worn indoors. Carports and covered pavilions didn’t count, but, as a rule, if it had HVAC, a hat better not find my head. I know you must advertise for OTF, Duck Camp, etc., but there must be a better way. Hats should be for when you are out at practice. You never saw Tom Landry wearing the fedora indoors.

2. Rod B, Coach Shipley, and Gerry consistently appear in a COLLARED SHIRT. This means a lot! It shows respect for the audience and is consistent with the effort and preparation required to do a great job. It is when someone pulls a wrinkled T-shirt off the bottom of his pile of laundry three minutes after getting out of bed to do the show that the above-mentioned guys really shine by comparison.👊😂👊😂

3. My San Antonio Lee High School English teachers would have sent me to the basement of their grade books immediately for uttering the phrase… “where he’s at.“ Instead, let’s try… “where he is.“

…”that’s where he is on his recovery timeline.”

where I’m at/where I am

“The Broken Spoke!”  “That’s where I am!“

where they’re at/where they are

“That missed tackle perfectly captures where they are as a team.“

I would be no less devoted to your fine programming throughout the year if none of these above wishes came true. We are, however, University of TEXAS graduates and fans. Let’s aim even higher!!

A Texan started college at Princeton and was wandering the campus looking for the library. He bumped into what appeared to be an upper classman and asked “do you know where the library’s at?”  The upper classman said “at Princeton we do not end our sentences with prepositions”.  The Texan responded “okay, do you know where the library is at “a..shole”.     😀

No Harvard or Princeton for me. No sir. UT grad all the way. I could find the UGL and PCL just fine. I just never set out to find them frequently enough. Daughter’s about to graduate with honors then off to medical school like dad. No… I love these guys and watch all the time. I especially like some of the live comments by posters coming across the TV screen. Thank heaven I do not know how to do that as yet. YOU guys really get me going though in response to my (very) in frequent posts… A couple of George Carlin types lurking here.

Add # 4 to your list ... we insist on accurate usage of the word "infrequent" !!!

(jk, but once you start the list you make yourself a target for any little slip from here on out )
