    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!!!

    I noticed Bobby said that after Texas won the SWC and NC for the 1969 season and the 1970 Cotton Bowl...the teams finishing #2-#4 in the final AP poll are the same teams playing in this year's CFP final four. Some of the true Blue Bloods of CFB. The 1970 Cotton Bowl was a big deal at the time mainly because Notre Dame had a policy of not participating in Bowl Games back then and made an exception to play #1 Texas in Dallas.

    Agree with you on this matter of personal and/or over -the-top criticism of college players. I know I am old and Old School on this, but even with players receiving NIL money, I think it's unbecoming behavior. Especially when you are allegedly a fan of a player or his team. Placekicking is like golf or even hitting a baseball. Mechanics and psychology involved and it's not as easy as it appears. And once you get into a slump it can be difficult to break out and get back into the groove. I'm pulling for Auburn and wish him the best but at the same time it's pretty clear he's fallen into the yips. Fingers crossed.

    Yormark called Kevin Mar and went with Kevin's opinion. It was a wash...if they didn't call it when Bond was decapitated...then they called it correctly with Taafe.

    I may be overreacting but I think some of the Bowl games may become extinct. Worst case all the bowls fade away just leaving those in the CFP rotation.

    If Thomas leaves College Station the Aggy fans will swear he was just a spare.

    That was a great TV show. I miss the guys and their show. Never been interested in Jeremy on his new gig as a Gentleman Farmer in the Cotswolds. Oh well.... Hook 'Em Horns!

    Cook either never heard one of the best pieces of advice ever given...or he chose to ignore it. "Never Let 'Em See You Sweat!"

    IDK, but as a Longhorns fan I'm pleased to offer some advice to the Okies going into the next decade of Zero U football... AC/DC said it best -- "It's A Long Way To The Top If You Want To Rock 'N Roll!"

    I have an Android phone with T-Mobile and a in- home Wi-Fi. I watch and listen to OTF on YouTube. This morning on Coffee and Football I counted 7 ads interrupting the show's tempo. The 7 ad breaks were in addition to the OTF sponsors which are not intrusive at all and as many have said some are humorous. The numerous Internet ad breaks are a new occurrence... I used to enjoy OTF uninterrupted with only the ads specific to Bobby's Longhorns empire. When I retired I did something many folks have to do... that is look for ways to cut my budget and expenses. I could upgrade to the YouTube premium but I don't want to be bullied or intimidated into upgrading and going back on my budget cutting. Just fyi...my experience. Hook 'Em Horns!!!

    I remember watching the game on TV... back in the era when ABC could only televise one game each Saturday. The Longhorns Wishbone offense was really humming that day in Austin against Arky...the season after the big victory in Fayetteville to secure the Natty. I was a high school sophomore and looking forward to attending the University. My mom asked me if I was sure I wanted to go to UT "with all those hippies." Hook 'Em and thanks for the memories!

    If the first CFB playoff game at DKR shows a lot of empty seats on TV our Aggy friends (?!) will have something to talk about.

    Sorry to hear about your hospital stay. I'm sure you won't let it diminish your enjoyment of the Longhorns game on TV. After our decade of wandering around the CFB desert last season I said the Horns were going to have to show improvement in '23 for me to regain my fervor. They beat Bama and had a great season. In '24 they showed good performance again until the Offense hit a lull and the team seemed to lose focus in third quarters. Still, another playoff appearance. I believe Texas will beat Dabo and Klubnik's South Carolina Aggys. But the Offense has to show me. Texas 20 Clemson 13 Hook 'Em!

    Jack -- You are correct! The first time I watched the highlights I thought "now I know why Coach Sark wanted to recruit this kid!" His throws just look remarkably like Quinn's to me. Thanks.

    Thanks Gerry! I admit to two things about Lacey: 1) I haven't watched much of his film before this All-star game and 2) I (erroneously) thought he was too small (or I just prefer the prototype "big" QBs). Now having watched this film, it strikes me that Lacey's throws look a whole lot like Ewers' ... he's more mobile in and around the pocket but the throwing motion and arc of the passes look like Quinn's. A lot like Ewers'.

    Colorado was rolling and took Kansas for granted.

    Agree with Bobby on this. BTW, I saw where one of his younger sons committed to Michigan as a QB. Herbie's such a Buckeye guy and former player I was surprised any of his kids would want to go to Michigan.

    "Roll Left" to Derek Lewis for the first Big XII Title versus the Children of the Corn, 1997. Great call on fourth down, great catch and clutch throw by Longhorns QB JB!!! The Godfather of Soul. A brief serious note -- in 1968 I was an eighth grader and a young American sick of the assassinations I had already experienced. As a high school senior I did research that showed something too few people heard about... James Brown went ahead with his show in Baltimore the evening of the assassination of Dr King in Memphis. The Mayor and other leaders credited Brown with calming the audience. His inspiring remarks from the stage kept a lid on the emotions of the concertgoers and the volatile crowd gathered outside of the concert hall.

    Stay Classy, Ags.... and serious "Rabbit Ears!" Geez.

    I'm beginning to believe Longhorns Baseball in the next few seasons is gonna be more fun than the last few seasons... congrats young man and Hook 'Em!!!
  23. Jc Dobbs
    Prayers for continued improvement. I read all of these messages and it really impressed me at how many caring people we have at OTF. When the young man is well enough Blake can show him how many folks were praying and pulling for his eventual recovery. God Bless the Munroe family. Hook 'Em Colt !

    Thanks for the info. I haven't lived in Houston for several years. I stay in touch with a friend who is a Rice graduate and former football player. He confirmed what you wrote. I

    I'd like to see the Owls do as well as possible but it's become a difficult gig. As many colleges are expanding their stadiums and practice facilities Rice has been shrinking the seating at the venerable Rice Stadium. When you consider the stadium's history (President Kennedy speech, Super Bowl, etc) it's an indication of the direction of the football program. It just seems like Rice should be able to carve out a local niche in Houston... football crazy region, support from the business and professional communities and a recruiting base to draw players good enough to play college football but short of the size and speed requirements to play at the top schools. But times are changing rapidly in CFB and where Rice could fit is problematic.
