Blake Munroe

Total domination. Not even close. She’s too good. Too big.

Well the UGA game felt like I took a UFC beating. But time for Valentina. Love watching her fight.

Obviously Texas-Georgia comes first, but a phenomenal after-game treat tonight!

Thought I posted this yesterday and apparently it never went through. 🤦‍♂️

FWIW, she was spot on in last week’s projections. Ohio State, Indiana, Texas A&M, Alabama, Georgia, Ole Miss, Texas, Tech, Oregon, Notre Dame, Texas, Oklahoma and BYU are her top 12 in that order.

Ahhh okay. Did you call any games that former Horn Adrian Colbert played in? I like Mineral Wells. I have a hell of a ghost story from the Baker Hotel there…. Although I didn’t like it that night.

On Wednesday, which will mark day 50 (which is Tuesday)…. It simply will read JOE Z SUCKS. This will most likely mark the end of the board. I may need to ship it to @Bobby Burton, however, as he’s been muted a bunch lately. Or he could do a “days since Blake hasn’t played dial up sound” 😂

We start decorating in about 12 hours apparently. I’m requesting a new set of prayers… not for Colt, but for me. Regardless of the severity, ER trips with the kiddo are never fun and always scary.

I just want to say thank you all for taking the time to read what I posted. I think it was just as much for me to get it all out, as it was for you all to read. I can’t thank all of you enough for your support We really appreciate everyone following along our journey…. It’s been a wild one, but we’re here and stronger because of it. The OTF community has been nothing short of tremendous. Seriously. I can’t thank yall enough!

I felt like a little girl writing it because I had many tears. That’s why I wrote it when no one was home 😂 Thank you!

I’m not going anywhere! I love being here and enjoy you all… even Joe Z. 😂 I love the OTF community! Thank you! But I gotta ask… what school? Or was it multiple? When?

We all have them! Glad I could help out though😀

I am so sorry to hear this, but glad that she’s alive and well now! Happy to hear that and I’m proud that OTF provided you a (most likely much needed) distraction during those times. I completely understand that part of it…. Being distracted is what kept us all sane!

It’s been one year since I’ve tweeted this out: One year to the day, actually. Over the past few days I’ve re-read every response to this tweet. Ive gone back to the OnTexasFootball message boards and read every response on a thread where a poster asked for prayers for my son. I’ve thought about a lot, including what I would write when this day finally came. I thought about writing about the journey that was filled with twists and turns at damn near every stop. How we went back into the hospital twice since then. I’ve thought about writing about that night that was filled with so much uncertainty. Where doctors and nurses filled his ICU room, where he was losing blood at an alarming rate. When the Chaplain came at 2 AM and bent the truth, telling my wife he was “just making the rounds” while I sat beside Colt, watching my son look like he never has before, a white pale face and a lifeless body… All while they try to pump 11 units of blood in him to save his life. And how the smell of blood permeated the air to the point it made me nauseous. An unfortunate scene that replays in my mind at least weekly and makes me shudder every time it does so. I’ve thought about this more over the last few days than I have the last few months, if I’m being honest. From that thinking, I’ve come away with two conclusions. First, despite all the hardships and changes, my son is a fighter. Losing 30 pounds, having no appetite, losing all the strength that he has worked so hard to build up, being poked and prodded, having to walk when he didn’t have energy to stand, along with thousands of other things… He persevered. He fought through it all and stands here today, bigger, stronger, faster, and most importantly, healthy. From initially being told he might not get to play sports again to just months later playing baseball, running track, and even getting back on the football field, Colt is the true definition of perseverance. It hasn’t been easy, nor was it quick, but he worked his butt off to get back to where he is today. The lessons he learned along the way over the past year will help him all throughout life, not just on the field. He’ll always know that he has the strength and mindset to overcome anything. Secondly, the other conclusion I’ve come away with, is the simple fact that we were surrounded by a great community and had phenomenal support. Not only people from our hometown offering to help in any way possible, but people from all over as well. Whether that be an SEC rival’s football coach (who shall go unnamed) reaching out, to a certain player on Colt‘s favorite football team who is now like a brother to him, to one of the nation’s best baseball coaches asking if there was anything they can do to help. It didn’t stop there, however, as hundreds and hundreds of messages poured in, people asking to send gifts, food, prayers… whatever it may be. I would be here all day listing them and I can’t thank each and every one of them enough. People in Comanche also went above and beyond. There are numerous I want to name personally, but I won’t. They weren’t doing it for recognition, but instead were doing it for all the right reasons. To all of those people, I can’t thank you enough. Your support, through a multitude of avenues, lifted us up when we needed it the most. I want to extended a special thank you to the OTF community as well. Yall still check on him to this day and that means a lot. From the super chats, to your posts… those who asked Bobby to get ahold of me for many different reasons… all of it. Words can’t express how much it means to not only myself, but my wife and kids as well. As for Colt, he’s come a long way. He still has quarterly visits to specialists. He still has to watch what he does. He still has to take precautions. But he’s alive and healthy and doing well. And that’s what matters.

100% I nearly was Lane Kiffin. I was going to wear an Ole Miss visor, sunglasses and a Tinder t-shirt. Then I changed it to a tribute to Mike Leach but couldnt get all the pirate props in time. (Was also looking forward to saying fat little girlfriends, swing your sword etc). So now.... well, you'll see.
