  1. Freddy always had a great defense, I’ll give him that! Dad always loved the Horns’ schemes. I was a youngster, but knew FB, as my Dad would watch HS film at home, from previous games to upcoming opponents. He’d always narrate what he was seeing and writing down. The old reel-reel film days, he’d pause, rewind, and play a specific play over and over so many times, projected on his home office wall. I’d ask why can’t we just watch it. Most nights, I’d sit there with him until time for bed or I fell asleep. Hook’em!!!
  2. That fan base as a whole is just delusional. How can they even possibly think something like that would work and then type your thoughts into the mainstream? aggy will always aggy. Generational morons keep the maroon/moron mindset alive. Hook’em!!!
  3. I was at that game in Irving. Hell of a game for a youngster! The Horns beat the Pony Express. Their defense was pretty salty back then too. Hook’em!!!
  4. And against an FCS school. Hook’em!!!
  5. And they did that without the Meat Pimp? They’d have won it all if he was still there! Hook’em!!!
  6. Not a “Homer” but by handle, but Will Wade in the current era of NIL and today’s landscape. The nation saw what “he planned” for an overmatched and size wise team, that was experienced and made the ‘24 E8. The 1st half was a beat down both O & D wise, it wasn’t until Clemson slowed it down in the last 3 min (knowing they were a 50% FT team), that they crawled back into the game. Plus they made 3s in the 2nd that they didn’t do in the first. Totally out coached his Alma Mater! Hook’em!!!
  7. MFG - TAPA. Most newer officials, less than 8 years exp, in the SA area and state wide are expected to work 3-4 days a week, to include Saturday. TASO is thin statewide, as I stated earlier, where we used to have 4 for 5-6A JV games, we were glad to have three. I’ve worked multiple Jr High games with two officials. Hook’em!!!
  8. Yes - and TASO membership has decreased statewide each year for the past 5+ years. It’s got to the point where the newer officials ( Hook’em!!!
  9. Yes - too many schools with too few stadiums. Most Fr-JV games are on the HS campuses, but time restraints force many to Saturday. My last season I worked 5 sub-varsity Saturdays, not counting the two Varsity games that are usually afternoon/early evening games. Too many SA schools and fewer HS Stadiums. We’d even started doing Varsity games on Thursday night, at least 6-8 years ago. Hook’em!!!
  10. Between that night and the next season of officiating sub-varsity games, 7-JV, the abhorrent attitude of coaches and spectators took the “fun” out of it. I used to love doing 7th-8th grade games, as I’d do more “coaching” than officiating. Trust me, we’d have to swallow the whistle or we’d never finish a game. Varsity games for me were numb, crowd/coaches wise, as I was an Umpire for many years (right behind the LBs) in the middle of the field. I loved Texas HS Friday nights in the Fall, but the spirit left me and thinking I’d just take a year off to “regroup/focus” I’d come back. I found that I liked watching Game Day on Saturday at 8, instead of doing a Freshman A-B and getting home at HT of a (11:00 KO) Longhorns game at 12:30. The $$$ wasn’t really worth the time and effort. Last FB season, I kind of missed the Friday Nights, but the rest ruined the fun and made it more like an obligation. Hook’em!!!
  11. Dude had an attitude problem, at least the day I officiated one of his JV (A/B) games vs Somerset. I was the Referee working a “diminished” crew, as usually we had a crew of 4 working 5-6A JV games. Now the kicker is that both my kids attended Boerne HS and I basically lived within a 3Wood distance from the HS property. Hell, my Son is on a mural (in the Gym) representing Boerne Boys/Girls athletics, as he was a Boerne HS Golfer. Anyways, this was like CH’s first or second year of coaching in Boerne and I really didn’t know him, as my kids were out of school, plus my wife was a Boerne teacher. So COI considerations, I couldn’t officiate either Boerne schools varsity games, but only sub-varsity, as my wife taught elementary school. First JV-B game, Dude walks out to the hashes to complain about my Left (visitor side) wing official calling holding on his left side WR 3-4 times. We’re talking 1st Qtr! As I’m walking to reverse the field and he wouldn’t shut up! I responded with, if we’d have four officials maybe that would’ve helped, but I’m looking at the LOS and where the ball is, so that has my attention. I also said, if that “experienced” official “saw” it, I’ll take his word. I’m still walking past mid-field and he’s still in my ear. He’s in street clothes, so I basically turn to him and say that I don’t even know who the Hell you are, but if you’re a Boerne Coach of any sort, I’m about to get you escorted out of the stadium! So he’s getting red/pissed at an official talking to him like that and he responds with I’m the Varsity HC. I basically calmed him down at mid-field and said, nice to meet you, both of my kids were Greyhounds and if you don’t get off MY field in 30 seconds, you will be ejected from the stadium! And I also have the AD’s # in my phone, as he asked annually for a minimum of $500 each Fall for Boerne Athletics, as my son was a golfer. You are embarrassing Boerne Athletics with your display tonight. He turned and left. Hook’em!!!
  12. That is awesome! Especially for that level of baseball. Hook’em!!!
  13. Wife and I are going for Saturdays game. So excited, as I haven’t been this year. Hook’em!!!
  14. Why does aggy insist on wearing alternate “American” red, white, and blue uniforms, especially in March? They are far from being America’s team. Hook’em!!!
  15. If they do it’ll be on the road. Barely above .500 this year, if the season ended now. Hook’em!!!
  16. Yes! .500 in the SEC might still be ranked in the top 20 at years end. Hook’em!!!
  17. Wow! Sweep on the road in the first SEC weekend. Nice streak of wins too. Hook’em!!!
  18. Tech y Techs facility is nice though. Anything to gloss over the fact that you’re in Lubbock. Hook’em!!!
  19. MFG - Wiener!!! Been drinking after doing yard work. My garage fridge doesn’t count to the amount of beers taken out of the kitchen, just in case the wife is counting? Which during FB season, she definitely does! Hook’em!!!
  20. How much is a FC stamp today - 60+ cents? I bought about $10 worth of preprinted stamps a couple months ago, so are they not sufficient to mail bills? I only write about 5 checks a month and 2-3 are bills. I can’t pay them online currently or I don’t want to go through the hassle. MFG checks from my bank equals to about 50 cents per check, so we have to really know where that check is going. Hook’em!!!
  21. I’ll never forget the #34 Texas burnt orange jersey that I had made at Rooster’s as a child of the 70s. That (34) was his number with the Oilers, so I wanted a UT Campbell jersey. This was around 79-80, but Dad said did you know that Earl wore #20 at UT? I said I wanted 34 with Campbell on the back and Rooster said we can do that, if that’s what you want. Dad couldn’t make a trip to Austin, from Dallas, without visiting Rooster’s, as he was a Trainer/Manager when my Dad was on the 40. Hook’em!!! I wish I still had that 40+ years later. Hook’em!!!
  22. Nothing will change until the son takes over and actually hires a real GM to run this shit show. And I’m a Cowboys fan that spent 1K to take my son to the Saints/Cowboys game during week 2 last season. He is a Saints fan. The ride home to SA was miserable! Hook’em!!!
  23. What time is game 1 of our DH tomorrow? Hook’em!!!
  24. Earl looks like a midget in that picture of three famous players. Hook’em!!!
