What I Would Change About On Texas Football

I was just about to make a post that I don't think they wear enough hats indoors, I think they overdress for the audience and there aren't nearly enough ats in their content.  

As long as they don't go Jeffrey Toobin on us (look up 'Toobin zoom') I personally am not offended by anything they do or do not wear

"Where's the library at?'

"Sir, at Harvard, we do not end a statement or an interrogatory with a preposition."

"Ok, where's the library at, a**hole?"

 

 

I must have posted the same time you did, but I used the Princeton version.  I was at a conference years ago and a friend of mine, a Princeton grad, told that joke as an introduction to his presentation.

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!!

The only thing I would change is the excessive use of the phrase, "Hook Em".  ????????

Guess what, me and my friend were boxing in my front yard, and this girl that I went to kindergarten with was, lived about 3 houses down, came over, invited us to her house and said she had something to show us in the backyard. We followed her, she went through and we stood out by her side yard with the fence closed. She pulled her panties down, squatted and made mud, right in front of me and my friend, and pulled her panties back up and we stood there and looked at it. And then my friend poked it with a stick and then we went back home.

Self-deprecating humor is sometimes the best humor. 

The only trick is to not take it personally.

Well, let me tell you about this pig I raised. My pig found itself smart enough to hop over the barrier from his pen to the next pen and eat all of that pig's food, and then go to the next one and eat all of that pig's food, and then the next one and eat all of that pig's food and make his way back in time for when it was my turn my time to feed him, he had already eaten three meals and would just be sitting there waiting for me and I would feed him and he would eat that. That’s why he gained so much weight and got sifted at the fat stock show

Here is ChatGpt's take on this post:

 

Nothing. Absolutely NOTHING! I would never dream of changing a single thing about On Texas Football. The content is perfection itself—like a symphony composed by the football gods. The hosts? Clearly the future presidents of Texas. The guests? Might as well be on Mount Rushmore. I’m eternally grateful for the Herculean effort that goes into this show, as it’s clearly a gift to the world. But—and I say this with the utmost respect, as a loyal Texas alum—I have three tiny requests that would, if implemented, elevate this already flawless program into the realm of divine. Ready?

1. No hats indoors.

Now, I’m all for hats when you’re outside in the sun, at a tailgate, or, I don’t know, practicing football or something. But—indoors? Absolutely not. My father, a man of unshakable principles, would have literally exploded if I wore a hat inside. “Hats indoors? What is this, a barn?” he would say. And I swear, it’s not just about appearances. It’s about respect. Respect for the space. Respect for the viewers. And, more importantly, respect for the rich Texas tradition of, well, not wearing hats indoors. Seriously, you’re telling me a show that prides itself on excellence can’t manage to take off a hat for an hour? We’re not in a Saloon circa 1865, fellas. Take the hats off and let the true greatness shine.

2. Business casual, please.

Listen, I love that you guys are chill—but this is Texas football, not an episode of The Bachelor where everyone’s wearing T-shirts and trying to look “relatable.” Have a little dignity! Rod B, Coach Shipley, and Gerry are the shining examples of what it means to take this seriously—they show up in collared shirts like they’re about to walk into a board meeting to sign multi-million dollar deals. Meanwhile, the rest of you stroll in looking like you’re trying to figure out where you left your coffee. Wrinkled T-shirts, hoodie strings hanging out, looking like you just got off a rollercoaster. C’mon! If we’re going to discuss the future of Texas football, can we at least try to look like we’ve got our lives together? Is it too much to ask for some minimal effort? I don’t need you in a tux, but maybe—just maybe—we could raise the bar above “I didn’t plan on leaving the house today” level?

3. Grammar Gate—“Where he’s at.”

Okay, I’m about to get real here: “Where he’s at” is a crime against the English language. I’m sorry, but it’s true. My high school English teacher would’ve had me doing 50 push-ups in the parking lot if I ever said “where he’s at.” It’s so simple, people—just say “where he is.” Just think of it: “That’s where he is on his recovery timeline.” Smooth. Refined. Elegant. If you say “where he’s at,” I might start questioning if I accidentally tuned into a high school debate team practice. Texas football deserves better, and we all know it.

Look, I’ll be perfectly honest. Even if none of these suggestions are ever implemented (and frankly, I’m beginning to suspect you might be a little stubborn on this), I will continue to watch On Texas Football with the same zeal I’ve always had. But let’s be real—if we want to be the gold standard for football analysis, we have to start aiming a little higher. Texas should be the shining example of excellence in everything—not just football, but hats, shirts, and grammar too.

So please, let’s make these small, tiny, almost insignificant tweaks. And who knows? Maybe one day, we’ll see a show where everything is in its right place—no hats indoors, a little effort in the wardrobe department, and grammar that doesn’t make me want to scream into my pillow. We’re Texas—we can do better. Let’s aim for the stars, gents. After all, the bar is set so low right now, we can practically trip over it.
