Not sure why I was expecting to see a commitment photo of @Joe Zura doing a cannonball with Dan Lanning posted by Hayes fawcett but this works too 

I thought he was announcing his retirement from posting. I was about to throw an OTF block party.

Thanks Gerry! "Scooter" was a regular on Saturday mornings.

Watching Coach Corso has been a little like we have watched our own Grandpa, Dad, Uncle, Neighbor or even our favorite Old Coach as they have aged a bit every season.

As the games melt into seasons, we forget to savor single Saturdays. Then we wake up and realize it's all coming to an end.

For me, it goes back to Sunday evenings in  Longhorns football seasons, watching Coach Royal's TV show hosted by Cactus Pryor. And going to the games with my Dad and hearing Wally Pryor as the Voice of Memorial Stadium.

Great seasons for Texas were crowned by Lindsay Nelson calling the Cotton Bowl game from Fair Park, where the Longhorns had battled the Sooners when the grass field was green and the temperature at kickoff was warm.

With Lindsay Nelson's voice came the brown grass of the field in Dallas just bitten by the first frost. Some years the Cotton Bowl game was really special when the visitor was Navy or Notre Dame or Bear Bryant's Alabama with a National Championship on the line or the star player had already been awarded the Heisman.

Those are my memories of growing up loving the Longhorns and then going to the games with a student ticket. Followed by decades of Season Tickets as a Texas Ex Life Member.

Now I mostly watch the Horns on TV. Just like with Cactus and Wally, Chris Schenckel, Lindsay Nelson and Keith Jackson, I'm going to miss Lee Corso's Saturday morning schtick as the Longhorns march to their next Natty!

Hook 'Em Horns!

A 46 year old black man will shed tears watching a morning cfb show.... crazy work. I kinda grew up with certain people being public figures... and seeing them leave reminds me of how short life really is. We gotta enjoy each other more, people. I can say this... moments like the ones Corso provided for countless Saturday's are the things that center us... take us away from the chaos of the mainstream media and all the evil we face throughout the week. 

 

That's why what OnTexasFootball does is so essential. It brings all of us together. Thank you Lee Corso for doing that much.

I really hate that he's being replaced someone like Saban who is so disingenuous when Corso and his excitement and love for CFB was so genuine and appreciative.

I like Saban on that show. He's not as intense as he was as a coach and brings good insight as he was recently in the game. His banter while interviewing former assistants is hilarious.

Saban has had his moments..I'll agree to that.
