  1. I wasn't expecting this, but it makes sense. Texas fans hear from Sark after Spring football and August camp how excited he is, yada, yada... Team never has looked right after Ohio State. Something's seriously "off," because it's hard to fathom such a precipitous fall by the Offense and the whole thing is collapsing. Sark is great with great roster and playing in the final four, etc.. Not so great when things got difficult this season. Wasn't expecting this, but it might explain a lot. Hook 'Em!
  2. Interesting take. Fwiw I retired from one of the Big Oil companies and over 35 years worked for 3 of them. Of the many supervisors/bosses I worked for, the brightest, most talented one I had was a BS and MS from Notre Dame (and a Golf scholarship) and a PhD in Nuclear Engineering from Florida. He liked ND, but he loved UF. Best wishes and Hook 'Em!
  3. What to make of that? My feeling (I rarely say feeling because I prefer thought and analysis) was D Cooper should have been pleased with what he witnessed. Hook 'Em!

  6. A love/hate relationship tilted to one side! Hook 'Em!
  7. Hate to say it but Aggy looks way more solid than Zero U 's one man band.
  8. Conventional wisdom might want an early kickoff but I think playing on the road at night in front of a juiced up crowd in Kain-tuck might be helpful to the Longhorns. Why? Because it's easier to be flat the week after OU in afternoon games. For years Texas played afternoon games in Arkansas and dropped quite a few the week after drilling the Sooners. Hook 'Em!
  9. Prayers WAY up for Scott Wilson. When I was a UT student in the '70s I met Scott through his amazing status as the #1 Longhorns baseball fan. He graciously invited me to sit behind the first base dugout with him and his group known as The Wild Bunch. Been a friend ever since. All blessings and best wishes out to Scott and his family. And his huge Longhorn family.
  10. FONG is never WRONG! Hook 'Em!
  11. Longhorns 17 Alligators 13 Hook 'Em! In the rain and wind...
  12. Ha! Thanks... it's a blessing and a curse. I do have a knack for remembering details -- good and bad. For example, I remember the jacket I was wearing at the 1984 Cotton Bowl game vs Georgia and where I was sitting when Texas DB Craig Curry dropped the punt in the fourth quarter at the Texas 20 yd line in the South end of the Cotton Bowl Stadium. Big mistake cost the Longhorns a good shot at the Natty and wasted the great Texas Defense from the '83 season. Still the best Defense I have watched and I have followed the Longhorns since '68. Thanks again and Hook 'Em!
  13. Yes. The 1984 rain game vs OU was very forgettable. The only thing I could not forget was our RB taking the pitch out right and the two DBs cut him off quickly and all three went down short of the goal line in what looked like a tsunami of water on the artificial turf. Fourth Down fail. The Texas RB was Kevin (?) from Stafford Douglas HS I think. There's nothing like the silence of the crowd leaving the stadium after a long game played to a tie score in the rain. Fwiw, I lived in Wyoming 1999-2016 and when coworkers and others learned I was a Texas Ex they unloaded on me about "Freddie"Akers (I noticed they all called him Freddie). They felt like Akers had success coaching the U of Wyoming and they thought he gave the University and the Cowboys fans the impression he was staying in Laramie immediately before announcing he was returning to Austin. They really had a thing about it. Hook 'Em!
  14. Nothing wrong with that!
