Memorable off the field Longhorn moments?

[Drunk randoke]

Topic came to mind for some reason. It’s the football offseason?

football - Mack’s first PC after being hired. I remember wanting to run through a wall and thinking this cat is different.  Such a change after stuffy Mackovic

And then red banquet night. Is Mack gone is Mack staying?   Saban gets an extension.  I was on OB at the time and stayed up all night watching it burn. 
 

basketball - McDonald’s in Plainview.  Got our guy

Text from a friend at 5 am saying Beard got arrested.  Thanks Cody. 
 

Baseball - taking Schloss from aggy el oh el

Coach Garrido passing.  That’s my guy. 
 

What say you?

My youngest brother sister-in-law  and I took my nephew and niece to Texas/Rice baseball game in Houston the season after Rice won the natty. After the game  my nephew and niece got in line to get autographs from Augie and players. My niece who was a very shy 7 year old wasn’t sure what to do, so Augie ask me her name (Carley). Augie calls her name and ask to sit by him and signed an autograph and talked while others were getting players autographs.

Does the Longhorn Band's performance in College Station after the bonfire tragedy count?

If not, I'll go with the recruiting week on the road that I felt nearly led to me getting divorced (thank goodness it didn't). I'm pulling out of the parking lot at Dallas Skyline late on Thursday afternoon when Gerry calls me and tells me that if I'm headed home, I might want to turn around and stay the night in Dallas because Jackson Jeffcoat was going to commit to Texas on Friday morning.

By the time I got settled in at a relative's house, we confirmed that Texas was getting a commitment from Jordan Hicks on Friday afternoon, too. Five-Star Friday is one I won't forget.

Good stories. Yeah that band performance was something.  I’m glad our University is so classy.

Mack press conference for sure

VY committing I knew was huge. I saw VY play in high school almost every game. 

The SEC news breaking was awesome.  Especially since aggy was clueless. 

Getting accepted and graduating from UT will always be my greatest memory. Especially seeing my grandparents reaction.

I was waiting at the airport in Georgetown for Charlie and company when they landed. Seemed like an awkward flight.

My god what dark days those were.

My favorite moment off the field would have to be graduating. I came in as a dumb jock and had to learn that Texas was a lot harder than high school and had a lot of habits to change. It was looking fairly bleak there for awhile but I persevered and got that diploma!

[Ace Recruiter]

Speaking of Charlie's dark days, the year we got spanked in Ft Worth by TCU, I went to breakfast at the ol south pancake house in FW. We sat at the table next to Bill Little and Craig Way. I had to pick up their tab. Two super humble, gracious gents. I thought it was going to be a great day after that. WRONG!
