  1. He's going Fishin' and Huntin' with Jimbo on his private reserve properties!!!
  2. Jeff is a great guy and genuinely human fellow. The OTF lineup is the best as it is, but adding Jeff would put OTF even further out ahead of all the rest. Hook 'Em!
  3. I'm sure all Longhorns everywhere send their condolences. God Bless Dave and those who knew him and loved him. Hook 'Em Forever And Always.
  4. Going way way back, I was at the OU game in 1984. Texas had the ball at the Sooners 2 yard line with seconds left on the clock and tried dives into the line for no gain. BTW the game was played in a Thunderstorm. The Longhorns ran a pitch out wide right. Texas RB (Kevin? From Houston) took the pitch and sprinted to the right corner. High risk, high reward. Oklahoma DBs met him a foot outside of the pylon and all three players disappeared out of bounds in a huge splash of water on the old artificial turf at the Cotton Bowl stadium. Game ended with score tied. The last time game I ever sat through a tie game. And the wettest I ever got watching a Texas game. And the pitch out didn't work that game either. Hook 'Em!
  5. Last year it was an incredibly hot QB... hottest I ever remember. This year it was a hot team. I've never been a Notre Dame fan but I will be next week. Hook 'Em!
  6. Yes, thanks! A personal note... I had a family member in Hospice care from July to December. The OTF daily material on YouTube gave me something to take my mind off the bad stuff and to remind me that College Football can serve many purposes. Bobby and crew are great and much appreciated and enjoyed. Hook 'Em!
  7. Speaking of former Bama players... I thought I saw where Agiye Hall was knocking on Kalen's door. If true that takes some chutzpah.
  8. Before Quinn was injured in the '22 game against Bama he looked elite. He looked the same in beating Bama in Tuscaloosa in '23... An outstanding accomplishment. The two long bombs he threw were college QB perfection. Then this season at the Big House he looked like a Heisman favorite. Injuries and the football gods conspired to hold him one step short of the top. And perhaps one bad coaching call on D and one on O didn't help either. James Street and Vince Young sit on that top step but they don't have to look down very far to see #3. Thanks and Hook 'Em!
  9. Agree and thanks to Quinn. I remember when Simms committed. In those days I had to call into Robert Heard's or Jerry Scarborough's 900# for the daily commitments. Yikes! Here's hoping Arch turns out to be great. His performance and demeanor along with his team spirit have him off to a good start. Hook 'Em!
  10. Seems like this young man is taking lots of visits. Must be nice to be in such demand. Could be helpful if it all worked out. Any word on why he's leaving SC?
  11. Speaking of Rick Barnes... I'd take him back in a heartbeat. I was sure Shaka was going to work out...he does everywhere but Austin. We were aligned to be a top program until Beard until let his domestic emotions get the better of him. RT is OK but it just doesn't have the feeling that success is around the corner. CDC? Do you keep a list in your top desk drawer? Hook 'Em!
  12. Agree! I'm a Longhorns fan since 1968 and in the post-Royal years Texas has always tended to be a speed and finesse team except for the years they lacked speed! The 2005-6 team had the most physically aggressive approach and won the Natty. Don't get me wrong... I'm happy because the decade after Mack was so painful and Sark's teams are doing better but still not dominant. But, Sark does need to get physical on the goal line with the OL and he needs to recruit a "Hammer" RB like 6'2" and 240. Or while he's got Arch he might adopt the Philly style QB sneak. Thanks for a great season and a special thanks to Bobby and his OTF team. OTF has become so good I no longer go to any other Texas sports sites. Hook 'Em! And for the first time I have ever said this: Go Notre Dame! Wake Up The Echoes!
  13. Well - blocked. Good adjustments. Excellent execution under pressure. Years ago when Manny Diaz was DC for Texas I was sitting in the north end zone at the Cotton Bowl for the OU game. OU had the football at their own 5 yard line right in front of us. They hit a running play a bit like this Texas play against ASU. They snapped the ball and as the RB took the handoff I saw three blocks develop and I heard three pops in order. Pop (block), Pop (block) and Pop (block) and the OU RB took it 95 yards to the south end zone. It was really great to watch the Horns recognize the ASU defense, adjust and execute. After the lost decade of Texas football I appreciate what the Longhorns have done in the '23 and '24 seasons.
  14. Thanks...I guess! I went to the 1970 Cotton Bowl as a high school junior and I graduated from UT in 1976 and 1978. So I qualify for being both old and an alum. I've been to four Longhorns Cotton Bowl games...none at Jerry World. I'm sentimental about it and wish the game was still at the old stadium. I think the Texas-Nebraska ( the Huskers were in the Big 8 conference then) and the Houston -Notre Dame Cotton Bowls were played in unusually cold weather and those games laid the groundwork for the game to be played at Jerry World decades later. Hook 'Em!!!
