Since we’re MFng off the JC thread. My Dad brought home a Skoal poster with Walt Garrison’s autograph on it (TXHS Coaching School ~83-84,) as Dad remembered his days with the Cowboys. He did tell me (he was my HS HC and forbid drinking, smoking, and snuff dipping). If caught any FB player doing either, you’d have to run bleachers after practice, with a coach counting each rep.

I met Trev on the sidelines of a mediocre/small private Houston area school’s sideline on a football Friday night. He was an ESPN pundit at the time, I guess in town for Saturdays game, but nonetheless, I recognized him. He was a pompous ass back then.
i just brought up that I enjoyed watching his Nebby teams that excelled during his timeframe there and how they were so successful.

That picture of Tony Crosby, if you look closely, was a bare-footed straight on kicker. Hurts my toes just thinking about it!
Tony (Kountze) and my Dad (Sour Lake) were both two Hardin County boys on the ‘63 Team.

I really also think that UT has the position of, if we’re going to pay a team to come in and play us OOC, it might as well be a state school with UT in their name. Hence the UTEP and UTSA rotation. Giving $$$ back to family!
It’s up to UTEP to get “better” like UTSA.

Runners are a tough battle tested squad. I know they beat both us and aggy on Tuesdays, but never the less, they’ve already beat us at DF. Don’t take them lightly!

My son and his girlfriend went to the brand new MOH Museum in Arlington a week or so ago, in order/prior to seining the Rangers host the Astros. All he said was it was 4 hours well spent - and he didn’t serve. Bought me a patch/magnet and gave it to me yesterday.

We only had one Purple Heart recipient, as he was an LT whose Hummv drove over a landmine and shrapnel went through his groin area. Funny thing is that his Father had a “groin” injury during Vietnam.

I served in both West Germany and South Korea during the late 80-90s, so yes, every time I saw US Armed Forces posted anywhere, I knew I was covered and could rest mentally. Does that even make sense?

I served through Desert Storm in support of the 1st Armored Division, out of Germany at the time. I thank God that none of my close squad mates or even my company died in action or pre/post war.
Thank you is all I can say to those that have passed before this day, especially during the act of war, regardless of the era. Their time on this earth was not wasted! Thank you for their service to our country. We are all in debt to their honor.

1860 and 1873 lines (.45LC) were what we shot. But the .357 was a replica 1882 model fitted for .357 that was finicky on OAL or the rounds fed into it, trying to lower into .38 for my pre-teen son at the time for recoil purposes. Meaning trying to cycle it really fast for a novice. Cowboy action shooting is all about speed and accuracy on target at a not too great distance, but one must move the sights to other targets down range.

I used to reload .38s for my Son for Cowboy action shooting. The .38/.357 platform is so manageable to the specs that you want is amazing. I’d have to adjust the overall length of the rounds of his .357 lever action or it would jam up if the rounds were too short (lighter pistol rounds). After a couple shooting sessions I understood that the .38s needed to be the length of a standard.357.
I still have hundreds of “pistol only” .38 special for target/Cowboy shooting.

Everyone wants to play for a winner. A couple schools, if successful, will give you “legacy” props for life.
Texas is at the point, thanks to NIL, that they can just recruit a kid, asking if they want to play on the nations biggest stage? Their playmaking abilities will translate to the next level. $$$ will also be guaranteed at the next level. Just MO.

I used to own the single shot Sharps 1874 “Texas Ranger” carbine. It came from Cimmaron Arms in Fredericksburg (Texas Jack’s) old western clothing/gun store. I should never traded in, because I rarely used it and didn’t reload .45-70 $$$ rounds.

After driving through B-Ham and spending the night there on our way to Gatlinburg, wife liked that NE area of Alabama enough that she said she could retire there.
