He was really a man. He was 91.

T Boone, H Ross, J Edgar... what did these guys have against their first names but were okay with the initial? I don't trust a man that doesn't go by his first name.

He was a good friend of my father and I met him on numerous occasions.  He always seemed like a good guy to me.  I even talked him into donating a pretty substantial sum into an endowed accounting chair at UT.  I need to call my mom and let her know.

So osu will be the #1 revenue team in revenue ahead of us, for whichever year his money gets out of probate and delivered to the school.

Why have you been hiding this endowment news from your mom?

[LonghornJones 837]

She knows all about his endowment.

He had poor taste in colleges to support (UT accounting donation excepted), but he was sharp as a tack and very forward thinking. RIP.

Probate???  That money's been locked in trust for a few decades I'd bet.

it would be pretty bad ass if he arranged for an 18 wheeler to pull up to the school and just start unloading pallets of cash.

Or just used cash instead of towels at the next game to wipe sweat off.
