Read it when it first came out. Loved it

My grandfather lived it. He witnessed the death of Ernie Pyle and was wounded a few days later

My genre is history. Just finished Fehrenbach's Lone Star, the best Texas History book out there in my opinion. I read this once before about 20 years ago and thought it was worth a re-read. I don't dabble too much into fiction, but I have been known to lose myself in a Louis L'amour western and some Cormac McCarthy novel. Another guilty pleasure is reading firsthand narratives from history. Civil War journals, Roman and Greek writings, etc,.. Always open to suggetions

In his first two seasons, Arch has shown why he was the most sought after QB in the country. Even this season he showed what he is capable of with the 4th quarter comeback win vs Ohio State. Things have gone south since then. I don’t think Arch suddenly became a horrible QB over night. For whatever reason, he just doesn’t seem to be playing like he did as his freshman / sophomore year. If he is replaced as QB for his performance, I will support Sark on that. However, Sark needs to also think about replacing the center, RG and offensive coordinator. Hook’em

1. The center position. This has been a glaring weakness since at least UTSA. 2. Offensive Scheme. Our first drive vs Florida was awesome. We attacked the perimeter. We scored and then we went into a offensive scoring drought until the 4th quarter. 3. Personnel . You mean to tell me that Derrick Cooper can’t be trusted to gain a half yard on 4th and a foot? feel free to add your own areas of “evaluation”

Herkie Walls was legis as well

While channel surfing I saw the last 6 minutes of this game. IMG won on a last second FG, but the international kids looked salty! Are we recruiting anyone from the NFL Academy? I saw some decent looking skill guys along with some “Large Humans” on both OL and DL. Do we have staff keeping tabs on the international players? Basketball has recruited internationally before. Is football next?

True

Last night the Texas State offense committed to the Gary Joe Kinne is a coach on the rise. Probably end up in college station once they fire Elko

Remember Wisener running roughshod over OU last year? That is what committing to the run game looks like. We need to reopen that playbook the rest of the season. Hook'em

I watched the kid from his junior year on, No way should he have ever been a walk-on

Hard to believe he left 'Bama for college station

Go look at the Johnny Walker one from either 1988 or 89.

1983. OU RB Marcus Dupree came into the game wanting to repeat his dominate 1982 performance. The Texas defense was ready. The play of the game was when Dupree took the handoff and was met by Richard Peavy. The hit was heard around the stadium. Dupree slowly got up and wandered towards the Texas defensive huddle. He was taken off the field and as far as I remember he never carried the ball for OU again. Meanwhile, Texas Freshman RB Edwin Simmons got the job done for Texas having a 100 yds rushing along with 2 TDs. Final: Texas 28 - OU 16
