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.

It’s a boooooo-tiful morning, Horns fans 👻, so rise and shine (unless the sunlight burns you) and join us for Coffee and Football. Our special Halloween edition starts at 8:15 AM. We’ll all be dressed up! https://www.youtube.com/live/2gApbveldgY?si=VXloMs9i8UBPzHHX

I didn’t get picked for crap, boys. not a single dang thing. but this beauty was in the yard today.

I'll have a baseball insider post in a bit.

He’s obviously very torn on what to do or we would have seen a decision one way or another. I don’t know which way this will go. Tennessee fans are a bunch of nut jobs (see Vol Twitter), I know that much.

Ngl... when I saw you had responded I assumed it was going to be something rude.

8:15, 8:21.... it's all the same!

“Damnit Bobby!” /Hank Hill voice

I sort of have a list. But it will be tomorrow before I can post it, unless I go back to my office where I do C&F from tonight. A good chunk of it is in that OP though.

And Bob looks like a dude who’s ready to sell me 50 bags of cattle feed.

Bobby looks like King of the Hill Bobby in that pic 🤣🤣
