  1. He did say that his T - Ring will go with him. Hook’em!!!
  2. My Dad will be buried with his T-Ring. I might get his ‘63 ring, but it might go with him too. Hook’em!!!
  3. Yes - he wears that and his “T-Ring” to all UT events. He usually just wears his T-Ring, as it’s enscribed from Coach Royal on the inside. Back when he started the “T Ring” Coach Royal paid for it himself, then UT took over for college athletes that graduated. Hook’em!!!
  4. Dad said last week that there is less than 40 of them. Hook’em!!!
  5. Talking about “T-shirt” fans, I have decades of family members that root for aggy, even though the only seat they took in B/CS was the football stadium. They’re all farmers and crop dusters, so I let it pass, tongue in cheek. They are a fun group and if isn’t wasn’t for aggy, I’d think they’d root for “coon ass” LSU, as that’s what they are! Hook’em!!!
  6. Not to be a “sheltered child”, but my Dad didn’t agree with the fictional book “Meat on the Hoof” about UT Football, just like my Uncle didn’t like the movie “Platoon”. He was a helicopter pilot and did three tours and he said all the movie showed was “them” getting drunk and high during their off-time. Definitely Hollywood! Hook’em!!!
  7. Dad always said that the year prior, in the Cotton Bowl vs LSU, was the trigger to change. Even though the score was close, LSU out “physically” played the Horns from beginning to end. He said that following off-season Spring and Fall camp prepared them more than ever before. Rooster Andrews literally turned up the heat and worked their butts off inside the West side locker room/weight room. Hook’em!!!
  8. That shirt is a solid option. I’ve found that the last 5-10 years the best “quality” UT polo shirts have come from the UT Golf Club, which is available online. Hook’em!!!
  9. TX HS programs have better facilities than a majority of those I’ve officiated at in D2. Some are even better than D1 programs. Hook’em!!!
  10. It’s OK, as I’ll be sweating my ass off on the DKR NE endzone on 9/2, vs Rice. Hook’em!!!
  11. They are going to be honored prior or during the Rice game. I was hoping for a night game, but I digress. It’ll be the 2nd time I’ve been able to take a picture of my Dad on the Jumbotron, or whatever they call it now. There’re mostly 80+, so they are going to squeeze them into suites on the South or West side, after going on the field. I’ll be sweating my ass off on the North end taking pictures of him on the big board! Hook’em!!!
  12. Rooster was actually a Manager/Trainer back in the early ‘60s when my Dad played. He would actually laugh remembering the old days of sweating their butts in/under the West side and making them sweat their butts off! Hook’em!!!
  13. I think I’ve said it before here, but as a youngster in the ‘70s, we went by Rooster’s prior to a UT game, maybe 78-79, so I wanted an Earl Campbell UT jersey with #34 (Oilers number). Dad said he wore 20 at UT, but I insisted. Rooster told my Dad, if he wanted 34, I’ll have it made. About 10-15 minutes later, I walked out smiling with my very own #34 Earl Campbell jersey in Burnt Orange - with Campbell on the back. Hook’em!!!
  14. Man - that was a “go to place” prior to each visit to Austin, let alone prior to a UT game. My Dad wouldn’t spend one $ on UT clothing, anywhere in Austin, unless it came from Rooster’s when I was growing up. Hook’em!!!
  15. Looks like something you’d get at a truck stop! Definitely not Rooster Andrews’ apparel. Hook’em!!!
  16. As best as I can tell from the ESPN app, Bijan hasn’t even touched the field. Hook’em!!!
  17. It’s not on the NFL Network!!! Damn man! Roschon will be on TV tomorrow! Colts game not on NFL Network either. Hook’em!!!
  18. I’m just speechless that there is one of “those” in B/CS, as if he/she thought that it’d be accepted there? Hook’em!!!
  19. UTSA, even though they have a larger enrollment than both Tulane and SMU combined, I really don’t think that they are “ready” $$$ for a move to the PAC, especially if that includes Spring Sports. Everyone is thinking Football only, without considering both your male/female sports during the Spring semester = $$$$$$! Hook’em!!!
  20. 1st pre-season game looks as if the D is a lot more “ready” than the O. This is the first look in pre-season, so I digress. Not a good look with CJ, then the commentators said he wasn’t even with the #1 O-Line. I’m like WTF - just go out there kid (1st Round draft pick)? Hook’em!!! ( I forgot)!!! Hook’em!!!
  21. Don’t forget the people in “agriculture” in SE Texas. I have rice farming family members that have loved aggy for decades, while none of them took a seat in CS, except the football stadium. Hook’em!!!
  22. Too many leads going into halftime, under Sark, to make ZERO adjustments (halftime) and then before you can shake your head, the lead was gone and game lost. Hook’em!!!
  23. Klatt is correct. Show me you can do it, as it has been quite some time! Probably going back to the Colt McCoy era. The last time I remember the Horns battling back from assuming defeat was the Oregon State game in the Alamo Bowl - one of Mack’s last few seasons. Hook’em!!!
  24. As much as I hate the Eagles, the Kelly green of the older days is so much better. As a youth, I still rooted for individual Philly players that had Texas ties, as long as they weren’t playing the Cowboys. Hook’em!!!
