So I eat crow. I also want to apologize to anyone I have offended by being frustrated and snarky on this thread in particular. Like many of you football is my escape. That and this forum.
I lost my cousin to suicide last March. I lost my uncle to a heart attack (totally unexpected) who was like a surrogate father to me on May 7, 2023. His wife, my mom’s sister, was diagnosed with early onset dementia in her early 60’s, four years ago, and she passed away horribly in an Alzheimer’s home on September 28, 2023. I was with her when she passed away and took her last breath.
UT football mostly stunk throughout my childhood but my dad a UT grad was a super fan. He died in 2005 during the MNC season right before OU weekend.
a lot of you bleed orange like I do. With the losses I have had the past year and 9 months though I have been harder on Sark and the team than I should have. I’ve been beyond frustrated with the past 13 plus years of UT football. Even before those few great years of VY and Colt which I cherish. I want Sark to succeed. It’s great for him and us. It’s great for the players.
I’ve been around long enough though to realize that criticism is sometimes warranted and it doesn’t mean we want the person fired. Sometimes we are wrong. I am often wrong. But when you’ve experienced the past two years I have you learn to NOT get your hopes up always waiting for the other shoe to drop.
Hookem! Proud of the team and Sark and coaches! What a hell of a year! 🤘🏼🤘🏼
