rocketman

No, one of the players gave me the name rockin ron because I used jock jams music to intro the match lineup. Years later one of the coaches started calling me rocketman. It stuck!

Thanks Bobby for giving back and providing a path to learn the trade and for providing the platform to support it. In 1978 there was very little in the way of intern opportunity for hands on learning however KVUE sports brought in three of us from UT communications school. Together we were part of the first ever Friday Night Fever scoreboard and highlight show that fall. It was fun!! KVUE provided the avenue for me to make an audition tape and get my first job in TV sports. Later that fall, it opened the door to work directly with ABC Sports network on college football broadcasts as a production assistant. While I didn't make it a lifelong deal it opened up many other doors to enjoy and be around college sports at UT, eventually becoming the PA voice of Longhorn Men's tennis for 17 years. Enjoy the ride everyone, and learn all you can! These will we the days of your life.

Sometimes people lie!!!🤣

Concerning Tenn. Until your team plays against an opponent with similar or better players you really don't know what you have. Talented inexperienced freshmen quarterbacks who have never been in this environment will be interesting. It is curious to see how he executes start to finish.

Last sitting president to attend a Texas game at a place other than Austin? Gerald Ford, Texas vs OU 1976 in Dallas. BTW, it was also DKR's final game vs the sooners.

Blake, he is a 2028 class recruit, correct. If so can he reclassify to 2027 and if so he would be 16-17 years old and thus a minor. Would that insure he would be on campus and not eligible for the ML draft by doing so? Thanks

Not sure it has been mentioned but last time Texas beat #1 at home before last Saturday. November 4th 1950, Texas 23 SMU 20. Didn't realise that!

Great team based on what? Gerry has maintained that the fighting Dabo's have talent interspersed throughout their ranks to a limited degree and if that is true you might be more accurate. However, the orange tigers looked like a very poor rendition of talent while the stay in your pro hopeful lane's will be interesting to watch as they move forward.

Thanks CJ, I must have missed this earlier today.

In the words of Barry Switzer when talking about Texas recruiting position. " Texas NIL means now its legal". Leave it to Barry to access the obvious.

I have been married to one woman for more than 45 years, worked for the same company for 42 years ,one month, 18 days and 4.5 hours. Was involved with three volunteer different things. Two of them for 12 years the other for 17 years. Two of the three at UT. I don't quit things easy but last week I cancelled my sub to one of the others sites for Longhorn coverage after many years and decided that I am a one site guy. Everything Bobby does is top notch, from the talented people to the vision of what a great site should look like. Just settling in , and enjoying it a lot.

Baseball is such a crazy sport. This team had a losing record in the SEC yet put it together at the right time. Momentum and performance. Amazing calm and focus they displayed in Omaha!!! Great job Skip.

And there you are!

Bobby, it seems aggy relevance has always been defined by obsession to have what Texas has and they don't.

I like that time of night.
