Today

[General Grant]

Today was both fun and emotional.  I’m 47 years old.  Today was my 115th home game in a row.  Yet I pale in comparison to Scott Wilson’s streak home and away. Sadly his home streak officially ended today. Since before I was born he’s been to every home game.  He was there today but watching from above with DKR. I know Scott but not at a friend level.  I knew him enough he’d recognize me and say hello but we didn’t know each other that well.  
 

The pregame tribute was beautiful and I unashamedly teared up.  Scott was a hero of mine and the fan I aspire to be.  We honored him at our tailgate with a talk from @MBHORNSFAN Tears were shed then.  As I age I get more sentimental.  Never know when our last DKR game will be. Enjoy every game and every moment my fellow Horns fans. We won this game we won it for Scott.  Godspeed Scott and say hello to DKR for us.  I bet y’all watched the game together today.

Let’s go beat Georgia.

Having attended well over 150 Longhorn games myself I salute Scott Wilson for his streak.

I knew two other gentlemen with very impressive game records, Frank Denius and John Davis.

I think at one point in the early 2000s that Frank had only missed a handful of games since the end of World War II.

I'm curious if any other readers of OTF knew Frank or "Little John."

I knew Frank a little. One of the only games he ever missed was for his service in WWII and awarded the French Legion of Honor.

Frank was highly decorated for his actions in W.W.II.

That’s awesome.   My dad is 85 and listens to coffee everyday.  That’s my goal.
