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!

Yes indeed...In Perpetuity!!!

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!

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!

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!

Thanks for sharing your memory. My last game with my late father was Texas -OU in the Cotton Bowl Stadium in 1987. That was OU game #20 for us. He first took me to the Cotton Bowl Stadium to see the Dallas Cowboys play the Cleveland Browns (Bob Lilly and Jim Brown) in the early '60s. My grandfather took my Dad to the State Fair when he was 10 years old in 1936, the grand opening of the Fair and the Art Deco buildings. The Texas Centennial Celebration was that year of 1936. Our family placed a tile for my father on the main plaza area outside the Texas Exes building facing DKR in 1988. Hook 'Em!

On my sofa in my basement in front of the big screen TV in Cheyenne WY. Great memory. Hook 'Em!

Next practice...Gold Cleats. Hook 'Em!

Well, I understand. I was 30 years old then. I really miss Johnny Carson and thanks for posting this because I have never seen it before. Hook 'Em!

Sorry to hear this, but...#1 admit it's over and allow your attorney to be as tough as needed because your spouse will, and get ready to hear her say and do things that will be hard for you to stomach. #2 Sit down with your child and promise you will always be there to help and you will never leave and tell them you love them unconditionally and define that for them. Keep your promise. #3 Take your attorney's advice. He/she does it for a living and has seen it all before. For me...19 years of marriage and first few were good, but I realized my Ex didn't really want a husband, but she really did want an ATM. My daughter was 10 and I stayed in her life even though my Ex moved out of state with her. She's now 29 and I have an excellent relationship with her and she's a UT alum (BS '17 with Highest Honors). I've been single for 20 years now and actually prefer it...my Ex got remarried within a couple of years and I never speak to her. BTW, we had no infidelity, alcohol or drug issues. Ex filed for a legal separation and then I filed for divorce and we lived in a No Fault state. Finally... realize you have to hit the reset button of Life and this will be financially difficult. How difficult? It's when I gave up my Season Tickets in 29U and had held the tickets for decades. Damn difficult! Dedicate yourself to your religion and your friends and your Longhorns family. Keep that promise to your kid. Best wishes and let me know if I can be of help.
