I lost a good friend, Dave, Friday night after the Cotton Bowl. He passed away in the early hours of Saturday morning. He was a childhood friend and my roommate at Texas in the early 90’s. He loved his Longhorns. A few of us buddies have a text thread that we use during Longhorn games. Dave never responded to our texts Friday night.
I talked to his wife tonight and asked if Dave watched the game. She said she helped prop him up in bed so he could watch. When it was over he asked her to turn the tv off. He was upset but told her was proud of the season the Horns had. Then she told me, in the middle of the night she woke up and heard him listening to the postgame on that damn podcast. I asked which one? She said you know, that On Texas podcast you all watch. She said he watched that thing religiously.
I know this is a somewhat morbid post but I just wanted to thank you guys for bringing joy to my friend’s life over the past year or so. He’s dealt with a lot and I really think your YouTube videos were one of the few things that brought him happiness over the past number of months. I appreciate you all very much.
Hook’ em Dave!
