Humblest

I learned a couple of years ago for the first time that my father (now 90) had a huge crush on her. I understand why.

I hope Colin Simmons develops a relationship with him whenever he visits Austin. I know they won’t play together but I’d love for Colin to mentor him in some way.

I remember the Shipley brothers’ dad being unbearable 🤪

Like a lot of you, Earl is my sports hero. I was 9 years old for that 1977 season, so I was just getting into sports. His power and physicality defined for me what football should be about. But as much as I loved his game, it was his demeanor that really stood out to me - humble, quiet, respectful, etc. All of that along with his love for his mother and brothers as well as his relationship with people like DKR and Willie elevated him from sports hero to overall personal hero for me. He transcended sports from my perspective. As a lifelong Cowboys fan I actually rooted for the Earlers against the Doomsday Defense. Now this non dipper might put just a pinch between my cheek and gum and go play me some touch. Or maybe I’ll stick with the hot links Thank you, Earl!

Please let Ken Paxton know that he is needed in the Ft. Worth area.

Lawrence Sampleton is the #1 #87 for me also. After retiring, he worked with my mother on a project for a school while I was in high school. Lawrence came over to our house and hung out around our kitchen counter. He was very kind and impressive. He laughed about playing for Dick Vermeil with the Eagles. The first few times Vermeil cried during a motivational speech to the team, Lawrence was really inspired. After a few of those speeches, the players would roll their eyes, thinking "here we go again."

Hell yes!

Awesome. Way to go ladies! now let’s rub salt in the Tech wound and flip a few football recruits this weekend.

With the additions of Cam, Raleek and Hollywood to Wingo, I can’t wait to see Arch play with so many weapons that can score from anywhere on the field. I’m hoping Bishop proves he can too. If we can get acceptable play from the OL and the safeties hold up, there’s no reason that we shouldn’t compete for a national championship. Hook’em!

Maybe not a direct broadcast issue, but for replays could we please go directly to a ref in a booth with multiple monitors rather than wait for a ref about my age to waddle 50 yards across the field to review the replay on a 10 inch screen?

I was thinking

Man, this is getting tough. Are we limited to just one Mount Rushmore? Earl and Vince (and probably Nobis) are definites for me, but then I think about Layne, Street, Ricky, etc. and my head starts to hurt, but in a good way.
