    No eligibility remaining for the future King of England, unfortunately. The Longhorns would be chuffed to welcome him because of his history with the Cricket Bat in hand... but alas, duty calls him. Hook 'Em! Cheerio!

    Thanks, Jeff! Several years ago I watched a replay of Texas at Nebraska when Mack took the Longhorns into Lincoln to play the Children of the Corn circa 1998. Back then, Nebraska was a CFB powerhouse and almost never lost at home. Texas played a physically tough, focused and motivated style of football and defeated Nebraska behind a great effort and performance by Ricky Williams. When the final gun sounded, the Longhorns had ended the Cornhuskers' 47- game home winning streak and the Nebraska home crowd gave Texas a standing ovation as the Longhorns left the field. Of course, the "Standing O" was a reflection of the arrogance of the Nebraska fans in those days, but it was also a recognition of what it took for a visiting team to beat Nebraska in their house. Thanks Mack! And Hook 'Em!

    I understand it's probably not doable, but I'd like to see CDC demand any Texas home games played in August or September must be Night games or at least kickoffs at 7 or 7:30 pm. Hook 'Em!

    Gotta believe Mack is loving this! Thanks to Coach Sark for being a Class Act! VY Longhorns HOF & Arch future Longhorns HOF! Hook 'Em!

    My father died 38 years ago and it might as well have been last year. He was 62 and cancer claimed him quickly. He never went to college but he was a big Longhorns fan and he took me to several Texas games when I was a kid and at one point we attended 30 Texas -OU games together. I graduated from UT with Bachelor's and Master's degrees and those were special days for thfoe two of us. Our family had a tile placed on the plaza at the Ex Students Association facing up towards the West side of DKR in appreciation for him. I am so sorry for Grace Prenter and send her thoughts and prayers. She will always have the memory of her father and the memory of Coach Vic's exceptional gesture. The Eyes of Texas...

    It'll be a Burnt Orange eclipse. A rare and beautiful thing when the Heavens align perfectly! Future WR 1 x 2... Hook 'Em!

    I was seated right behind the Longhorns bench at the old Texas Stadium. A bit too low for my taste, but I got to see how the players reacted to the play on the field. Too many turnovers and a little overconfidence. Texas should have won that game. I was living in Denver back then and my flight back was packed with CU fans and some were surprised they beat the Horns but I overheard a guy say "I've never seen so much Burnt Orange in my life and I hope I never see that much again!" Hook 'Em!

    Thanks for posting this!!! I just watched it here for the first time since the day of the game and the last one of the 500 or so times I viewed it later... What did I notice just now?! I saw that clean, wide- open pocket provided by the O-Line. Quinn always performed well when he was given protection and time to throw. That was excellent. Hook 'Em!

    CJ -- Thanks for posting this video of the Fightin' Texas Aggy Band marching into Kyle Field! There better not be any $MU cheerleaders on the field, BTW. Hook 'Em!

    Thanks so much for posting. I'm a UT Alum X2, a Longhorns fan since childhood and a Texas season ticket holder until I retired. I was sitting in the Cotton Bowl Stadium at the Texas -OU game when Marquise caught a touchdown pass as a Freshman and I remember thinking what a talented young man he was because he just made an outstanding play -- especially for a Freshman player. As I have gotten older in the past few years, I have been a caregiver for my late mother and my late brother. It is difficult and rewarding, but you don't talk about the difficult part -- because the rewarding part pays its own dividends. I didn't know this about Marquise, but I agree with 817 Boxing B and the comments by others. The man has a huge wonderful heart to go along with his football skills and World class speed. Wow. Just Wow. Hook 'Em!

    I would always try to add a guy like this to my team if at all possible... You just really can appreciate players on a team who genuinely want to be there and are pursuing a degree from their dream school. They provide a lot of "glue" for a team, even if they don't possess top talent. Hook 'Em!

    My earlier comment was referring to Mulkey. I just checked my "Respect Ladder," and found Ole' Kimberly on the bottom rung. Hook 'Em!

    Well, Skim, the feeling is mutual from some of the Longhorns fans....

    I remarked that this phenomenon might be more pronounced among female college athletes... and wow, I got absolutely flamed. My only defense is that I am an old divorced guy and primarily Old School in my opinions. I'm the father of daughter (UT 2017) and have seen things that shaped my reasons for posting my comments about the dynamics of the interpersonal relationships in female sports teams. I totally agree with your post. Hook 'Em!

    What would I Change? My first thought was to drop team #24 out due to the fact that they must be breaking some major rules... but then I remembered there aren't any rules anymore, so my second thought was to leave them in... right behind the Longhorns! Hook 'Em!

    Thanks for posting this CJ... from the looks of the photos, it seems like "GeFridge's" signature move is to get the OL to try to block him on one leg/foot... very effective DL technique! I must say I didn't notice him in the Arkansas game last season, but I will notice him controlling the middle of the Texas Defense this upcoming season. Back in the day, I remember when Casey Hampton used to trot onto the field and I would think the middle of the Longhorns D is about to be a WALL... Good luck to Ian and Hook 'Em!

    I know it's subtle, but I noticed he's expressing his love for the Longhorns by wearing Ricky Williams' #34 while bringing heat from the mound...Ricky liked baseball, too! Hook 'Em!
  21. Jc Dobbs
    Yep, a wearable Banner for Aggys. Hook 'Em!

    This has been my hunch since Vic's meltdown... the WBB version of "Can't win with 'em, can't do it," by Bears' Mike Singletary. IDK, but being divorced and the father of a daughter...I think you probably have to coach female athletes differently. Hook 'Em!

    Texas Tight End Steve Hall played from 1977-80 and was from Broken Bow, Oklahoma. I remember the television and radio announcers used to make a big deal out of him being from a high school in Oklahoma. Hook 'Em!

    And his attorneys earn more of his bucks to defend his actions. Wouldn't mind having his wealth but glad he's not ours. Hook 'Em!
  25. Jc Dobbs
    Could not agree more. Nothing worse than FG attempt from the right hash from 40 yds to take the lead in the fourth quarter...wide right or pulled left. Memories of Florida State and Bobby Bowden. Hook 'Em!
