    He asked some interesting questions - different than other interviews I’ve seen with Sark

    Love the graphic - our schedules are more similar than I expected.

    The most competitive school at Texas is nursing with a 3% acceptance rate!! I was shocked to read that because you don’t hear about as much as the Business and Engineering schools.

    I respect Ohio State for adding the most competitive teams in the SEC to their non-conference schedule the next few years. As a fan, I love that Texas likes to schedule one big time program for an out of conference game. I get the argument against it, but man it’s fun to have big games with teams we don’t normally play. I hope the selection committee gets their head out of their a$$ so we can keep scheduling these games. Who had the bright idea that anyone is going to want to watch not 1, but 2 G5 schools in place of Texas or Notre Dame - crazy!!

    It’s the funniest thing to watch them run when they get excited - their back legs stiffen up and they are only able to use the front legs, dragging the back ones behind them.

    Goat kids playing king of the hill - one of their favorite games! Here’s one of our fainting goats climbing the tree.

    I agree with a lot of what was said above. A couple of other things that helped me. You will go through the 5 stages grief - just be prepared for those feelings (therapy or a book can be of benefit). I chose therapy after a close friend’s suggestion; she gave me some great tools. One of the best was when I couldn’t stop thinking about it, she told me to just get up and do anything (drink of water, snack, restroom, walk outside - anything) - to break my train of thought - it worked wonders. Journaling can also help you work through your thoughts and emotions - I don’t like journaling, but it did help during that time. It sounds crazy, but writing things down can manifest them (there is science behind it). I was devastated & blindsided also, but it turned out to be blessing!

    I think our brains work the same way- it is so frustrating. And as I get older, it seems to get worse!!

    I’m horrible with names - my mind will go blank. A perfect example, in college I introduced one of my closest friends (of about 10 yrs) to a blind date with the wrong name - she knew me & just reintroduced herself; didn’t tell me about until the next day. The worst was when I went to introduce my boyfriend (future spouse) of 3 yrs to someone and all I could remember was his last name (which is what his friends called him) - he had to introduce himself. It’s like the pressure of remembering a name makes me freeze and forget. What makes it worse is I have a very unique name that people tend to remember 😵‍💫

    I still call it South West Texas State University; it’s a pretty campus from what I remember visiting someone back in my college years.

    Today, pics from Waxahachie while I was feeding the animals.

    We went there a couple of years ago - the most beautiful beaches & sunsets!

    Respect for Indiana’s coach - looks like he used the eye test of how teams performed at the end of the season instead of just their overall record.

    I love that I can check in daily and know that I’m up to date on everything Longhorns sports. I especially appreciate the mostly cordial interactions by members and the respectful way the moderators ensure threads don’t get totally derailed. OTF has the best staff out there - the info & knowledge I’ve learned from the staff and posters has made going/watching games that much more fun. I really appreciate the more in depth analysis of tendencies & specific plays - having obviously never played football, I’ve learned a lot reading and listening to y’all - thank you!!!

    Prayers for Jordan and the Shipley family!! They have contributed so much to the Longhorn over the years. 🙏

    I’m in Waxahachie too. It’s growing too big too fast. We live outside the city limits, towards Maypearl, off FM1446.

    Always appreciate your perspective. Glad to hear you will be on here too!!

    We were given tickets the week of the game. They were incredible seats for what transpired at the end of the game - sitting 20/30 yard line 10 rows up from the corner where VY ran it in - he was right in front of us when the confetti blew around him. We sat amongst mostly USC fans - who were really nice & friendly. Best game I’ve ever attended!!

    Thank you for the thoughtful response! When things are meant to be, they have a way of falling into place perfectly. Sounds like you raised your daughter well - you must be so proud of her. Best wishes to her and her fiancée. Totally agree on the Longhorns - they are my favorite distraction. If they are unsuccessful, there is always next year or next sport 🤘
  21. Pwood
    Interesting perspective - sounds about right with the comparison of the two fan bases. I totally agree about the RRR being the best game - it’s the one game each season we always go to - there is just nothing like it!!
  22. Pwood
    It feels like he is on mission and focused on winning a championship - I’m all for it

    From a woman’s perspective, who’s divorced from my college sweetheart, and now very happily married, pick wisely & don’t settle. In my humble opinion, men are pretty easy to please, while we can be much more complicated & manipulative (and sometimes downright mean). Run from anyone trying to change you, keep you away from your friends, or is overly demanding. Find a woman who is low maintenance, is a giver not a taker, and one who is kind-hearted (& longhorn fan🤘).

    For the TX OU game, the OU seats are always cheaper than the Texas seats, even when they are favored. Our fans are willing to pay more & we have always traveled well 🤘

    Thank you for the update. What an amazing story of resilience & perseverance. It’s hard to believe it’s been a year; it feels like only a few months ago. Prayers that things continue to improve!
