Thank you for yours brother! Just retired after 30. One day I was a PVT trying to figure out how to not get yelled at. Next thing I looked in the mirror and was old and saying..."dad, is that you????" Lol! My buddy the Intel Commandant not too long ago. Great guy and just made BG this past Sept. One place I never made it to or through unfortunately. Heard lots a good things about the post.

Just wanted to say, great job. Wish I could have made it down for the game but from my perspective here at Ft Sill. It was great as always (yes I get the early games may not come close to tonight's game or others). Just felt a shout out was well deserved for those that made it. Could definitely feel it made a difference on many occasions. Miss going to them. Hook Em!

It's his loins. They were not girded properly for the last few weeks. Therefore he has a loin pull (grade A) and will make the OTF injury report. Listed day-to-day and Bobby will not bring him back too soon and risk permanent "loin" damage. Those are nasty apparently. Causes people to repeatedly walk in circles, mumbling gibberish with corn dogs in each hand. Requires extensive surgery to reverse. SMH...

Ain't that the truth! College Football is on meth.

It's almost at this level. This weekend will either give me a heartbeat of hope, or it will tie the balloon to my hoof...

Nevermind, SMH. Hook Em

I get that. It's more directed towards on whether or not the OTF crew here had received any type of feedback from previous practices (mon or tues) that he was either injured in practice, was wearing a green jersey, or was just completely not mentioned by their respective sources. I get that initial injury reports within the SEC are published on Wednesday evenings. Yet, nothing was mentioned about him being injured, risk of missing the game Saturday during YouTube podcasts, and / or msg board post other than being mentioned he is a integral player expected to help fill the void until Simmons is able to return. If at all. Also get this may have been purposely kept quiet by the team but weird it wasn't identified by sources and just as surprising to OTF staff.

I would think that's a safe bet

So, did Richard Wesley practice Monday and Tuesday, but injured today? Is this why it wasnt mentioned previously? Just my assumption as he was one of a few brought up by the crew here as a person who will be called upon to step up with the absence of C. Simmons. If so, I get it. No matter what. This is our team, but good effing lord. Confidence is at a low and we are going into a boxing match with a "flawd" offensive scheme and another key player out.

Venting is good. It was bad for sure but unfortunately there have been much darker and more frustrating seasons than many would care to admit. I'll never been "out" because I love Texas too much to do that in life. Thank you for your service and many years of support to the team. It's great you were able to tie into games while in Korea. Especially for 6 years. Would have traded more time in korea with deployments to iraq and Afghanistan. Now watching the games in Japan and multiple countries in Europe, Caribbean, Central and South America were amazing no matter the outcome. Korea was awesome as well I must add. Nothing like waking up or staying up just get your heart ripped out overseas. At least you were able to watch some games. Nothing that occurred today is okay, nor any of the issues that Obviously remain needing addressed. But tomorrow is a new day for us all as fans of this cruel sport. Lol!

TVs will get broken, marriages will get tested, and livers will be beaten like they stole something. This site will be renamed, " On Titanic Texas Football" going forward. Lord, you don't want that to happen, so help us and save our sanity oh great one.

Every sport goes through this over time and fans all have the same issue, concern, and complaint with expanding the post season field. Yet, every single time history has proven the opposite. The latest example was the expansion of how many teams get into a much more difficult and exclusive championship tournament...The World Cup. In fact it blew those concerns out the water. It was more watched, attended, and just as, or even more exciting. Made way more money for cities, teams, and the sport itself. Maybe I'm wrong but don't think so. I truly believe it will be great. Yes, just like all change. It will have sone farts doing it's journey, but us fans, conferences, etc will eat this up like always. Someone will always miss out, be left out. If I understand correctly the verbiage will include the requirement of teams including a power 4 non-conference opponent in the schedule. Preserving the viewing enjoyment of high level, ranked vs ranked early season match-ups like we had between Texas vs Ohio State. It will be different. Change always is. The conference game will be missed to a point. Conference champions will be crowned based on their respective conference records. The money will surpass what was made in those conference championship games. More specifically for universities that host playoff games. Cities will see a much more greater return in investment from those playoff games than what was divided up amongst conference members and lets be honest. I highly doubt that money made it out very far within most universities or stakeholders that made any significant difference. Again, most wanted expansion. Well we are getting it. Be carefull what you wish for. Lol! Not many of us saw a 24 team playoff when we all demanded it. Lol. But inclusion has proven to be great over exclusion according to history.

I remember the days when all we had was liquid courage. Wait....that's all I have still to this day even tho I still post on msg boards. Lol!

I get what your saying. Yet it's true. It's about the "process" and the bigger issue is most don't know how to plan, install, and run an effective process to reach maximum effectiveness. Failing to incorporate the required systems, individuals, and support structure to manage/ run the process. It's also not a cookie cutter answer to meet each environment. But in the end. I'm willing to bet most, if not all great people, businesses, and sports dynasties have one thing in common....their "process." Herman i again, 💯 agree with you on. Tried to short cut many things and believe his character/ personality traits killed things as well.
