His final coaching job was as head coach at Desoto in 2018 before a rare disease forced him into an early retirement. I have been friends with his family for 25 years now. He was a giant of a man physically and literally. I met him for the first time at the Church of Christ in Gainesville back in early 2002. He swore by that church from my recollections. I remember him saying something along the lines of there’s the Church of Christ and then every other church. I say that to say he was principled in the right way. He coached at Hutch when they had shut down before the 2005 season. He lost all his guys to SOC that season, but never complained about it. He was big on his family and I know he treated his players over the years like his own kids, many of which came from some rough backgrounds. I met a woman out here who remembered “Mr. Robinson” from when she was a student at Hutch. Her face lit up when I mentioned him. She hadn’t seen him since then, but he was Mr. Robinson to her and she did not say a bad word about him.
I know @Pancho and his family are close friends with their family as well up in Gainesville. Sad to know he’s gone, but man the best thing you can ever say about a human being is they did right by others and helped as many people as they could while they could. He looked tough because he always had the same expression on his face, but I know he was good to everyone he crossed paths with. That was him in a nutshell. Gone way, way earlier than he should have been.
Yup, my fam is close friends with him and his fam. I am currently in Gainesville visiting my parents before heading to visit friends in Houston. I learned about it last night while mulching leaves and told my parents who were in a little shock.
Everyone was scared of Coach Robinson in middle school, and rightfully so. He was the start of some of the successes of Gainesville in the late 90s/early 2000s and probably never got the credit for it. Was an unbelievable person, so all the Gainesville folks were excited that he got his chances at bigger programs in the DFW area.
He will definitely be missed.

I’ve had this discussion with aggy friends of mine, especially after it was announced we were joining the SEC.
I told them we do not “hate” aggy in the same way as we truly hate OU. We don’t overly obsess over aggy and even OU as aggy obsesses over us. Our “hate” towards aggy is more like sitting back and watching a comedy of errors unfold vs anything else, but aggy fans seem to think it’s mutual to their hate they have for us. We hate OU for various reasons that include their outright cheating that should’ve given them the death penalty several times over to the way the Rig 12 Refs used to bend over for them which would later be exposed when they had to play a game with non Rig 12 refs
I ask my aggy friends to point out anything like slogans or merchandise they’ve seen from UT fans or sources that taunt aggy and they can’t. I note other than one line in Texas Fight that even mentions A&M while the most known line in their “War Hymn” is about us and they look dumbfounded. Everything they’ve done the last several years has been in the name of showing up “t.u.” From their break from the Rig 12 to the SEC , their desire to take the collie station campus to 100k students to making sure Kyle Field has at least one more seat than DKR.
Ehh, I think if this were true then the “tell me about ou” thread would be longer than the A&M one. I get it, they are so easy to make fun of so that’s why this one is longer, but I’ve always said the way to get A&M to truly explode is to just not talk about them at all, not even making fun of them. They’d really hate that.
With that said, they are doing like a certain group of people and trying to spread a narrative. That narrative? The only reason Texas has won against A&M the last 2 years is because Texas treats the A&M game like our “Super Bowl.” It’s stupid shit like this that makes them so easy to ridicule.
They haven’t won a NC in near 86 years yet seriously think they are the #1 blue blood in college football. They are definitely the guy who thinks they are smarter than everyone else at the Christmas party.

NIL and Cody Campbell have been very, very good to Tech. It was good to see that they were running a clean(ish) program before (it is college football after all) and have leveraged NIL into great success. Would not want to play them, and they would kick the living shit out of aggy. Oregon is in for a long day and are going to be surprised when Tech sticks the ball up their ass.
I refuse to say 'wreck em' tho.
My conspiracy theory is they are trying to show they can compete with the big boys and are trying to get an SEC invite if the SEC and Big break off.

So an artist pulled out of the performance at the Kennedy center because of Fat Boy and now they are trying to sue the artist for $1 million because of a “political stunt.”
