  1. Not FB, but many prognosticators are picking The Vaqueros to play post-season baseball as a #3 seed. They’ll be a tough out for anyone, similar to my McNeese Cowboys. Southland and Sunbelt Conferences are stronger than ever before. Hook’em!!!
  2. The $$$ people who live in Houston/Dallas/SA downtown enclaves, send their kids to private schools for the most part, unless talking about HP or Alamo Heights. Hook’em!!!
  3. I’m 5.91/2 in height. ‘88 went into Army BT weighing 205 after working my ass off all Summer, prior to reporting that September. I did play FB and lifted weights the whole HS experience. Eight weeks, post BT I shrank from the waist up! I had to get new dress jacket and dress shirts issued prior to graduation, as I went from 48-44 and 171/2 neck to 16. My parents the day prior to graduation, didn’t even recognize me while marching right past them. After graduation, Dad cut some kind of rope to help keep my original blue jeans up to go back home to SETX - weighing 170. All mass seemed to come from the waist up. I got down to around 165, by the age 23, while stationed S Korea, as I was more active. Outside of morning PT, I’d play racquetball or soccer in the evenings and sometimes hiking the mountains with my KATUSAS (Korean soldiers). It didn’t take long post Army exit in ‘95 for the weight to add on. No longer running 2-3 miles daily five days a week, as well as the other exercises. Going to UT and eating Blue Bell while watching the 10:00 news and “studying” made me lazy. Not even 5 years post graduation I sent the wife to get three pairs of slacks for work from a particular style/brand. The wife called me from Dillard’s saying you know that 40 is the largest they have on the racks? Bigger than that, you’re going to have to order from the Fat Boy catalog! Eye opening! I’ve tried my best to stay b/t 200-210 ever since. I officiated HSFB for roughly a decade and that forced me each summer to get ready for the afternoons each year, as running around with Jr High kids at 5:00 in SA is hot as Hades! Friday nights were a breeze, as I was an Umpire, so very little running. Now 55, still battle weight issues, but in reality it’s my fault as I like beer too much to lose more. I equate beer to watching sports or playing golf, or even finishing doing yard work and admiring my results. My son and wife are slim/normal BMI. My daughter, bless her heart got my genes for hair and bone structure (big chest). She actually got on Wegovy about 2-3 months ago now that she’s teaching post-graduation. I feel for anyone facing weight issues. Even though “heavy” most of my adult life, I’ve usually been in decent shape for my size, because even two years ago I could lace up a pair of shoes and go run two miles. I’ve found walking in the evening 45-60 min is enough to maintain where I’m at 205-210, which is still bad according to BMI, but my Doctor says you’re fine with activity level, but cut back on the beers! Hook’em!!!
  4. There’s got to be better swimsuit options to help pull those puppies up? Of course it’d require a shoulder harness, but I digress. Hook’em!!!
  5. I hope it works out for you SBB. You’ve been a quality asset to this forum and wish you the best, unless we have to meet head to head in any sport. I like your school better than your in-town rival. But that special Saturday each Fall, with both wearing “home uniforms” is magic to my old eyes, regardless of outcome. That image is like Thursday at Augusta to me, just a painting in glory. Hook’em!!!
  6. Roughly two decades prior, the same DISD “flight” took place. Dad was the FBHC/AD at DeSoto from 70-83. His ‘83 team had 4-5 black players on the team. Mom and/or Dad of those players had “white collar” jobs like Doctors, Lawyers, or Accountants (etc) in Dallas. As a Jr High kid, I went wherever the team went with Dad. Hell, why not. We’d pull up in the bus for track meets as others are pulling in and if some predominantly “black” bus pulled in close by, I’d nudge Dad in the seat and say that bus looks fast. He’d just say it’s going to be a great track meet and great test for his Eagles. If you look at the population % of race in DeSoto athletics now, you’d think I was crazy. Hook’em!!!
  7. Lowell is the ONLY reason I don’t miss the LHN. Hook’em!!!
  8. Fng aggy going for 8 straight and the first of three in Fayetteville. Hook’em!!!
  9. Yes sir! Volantis is nails, even as a true Freshman. Such a great addition to this ‘25 team and Schloss. Didn’t really beat the ball tonight, but a W is a W. Hook’em!!!
  10. I think whoever gets TH will play him immediately at WR and coach him up on route running/timing aspects. The DB part of him will be used in special packages, where they can use his athletic ability on the field. Going from a WR on offense straight to DB, after a possession change, I don’t really see that initially. Hook’em!!!
  11. Puffy paint and overalls in the B/CS Chamber of Congress
  12. It’s amazing that aggy is so irrelevant until something like this shit gets posted. Hook’em!!!
  13. That’s a shame, as I vividly remember Troy Aikman guiding the Bruins in his Bowl game (Senior year) while driving back (radio) from SETX back to Fort Sill, OK. Time is flying by but I think it was UCLA vs Arky in the Cotton? Such a historic program and Top-5 Home uniform -IMO. Hook’em!!!
  14. I was stationed in S Korea while in the Army. Always remembered the difference in beef noodles, P or K, so I always associated K with the K-9 police dogs. K meant DOG my whole year there. Hook’em!!!
  15. Grilled cat looks better than that and I’m not in Asia. Hook’em!!!
  16. Who had to leave the grill unattended? Hook’em!!!
  17. We have Arch for two years max. It is written (IMO) that he will go to New Orleans, like his Grandfather and hometown and resurrect that program. Hook’em!!!
  18. We were on a Tennessee thread, so it was applicable, whether you like it or not. Hook’em!!!
  19. Shit - drinking my picture of the DeSoto boys was in a different post. “Bucket” is on the far right. Hook’em!!!
  20. He had such a large-sized head and helmet, that was his nickname. CSB - Dad ordered him a special helmet for Troy’s Senior year, but was late in arrival. Dad actually went to the Cowboys and got a loner for Troy’s first or second scrimmage that season. Hook’em!!!
  21. The guy in the far right of my earlier posted picture, Troy Hale, owned a Sports Bar in Knox, known as Buckets.
  22. Sorry for the ramble, been drinking as I’m already off for Easter weekend. Looking back (blurry eyed) I apologize. Hook’em!!!
  23. It’s ok to have other “favorites” IMO. Once Dad had players possibly on TV each weekend for Tennessee, on the Jefferson Pilot Broadcast (old WTBS) I really became a fan of Tennessee. It always seamed like (80s) all of their games home/away were on TV. Hook’em!!! Shit my Dad was my HS FBHC and I begged him to order Black Nike’s for my Senior year! At the time there was only like 4-5 “Blue Bloods” wearing black shoes. We were like a “service academy” running a variation of the Wishbone anyways. I got my way and we might’ve looked slow AF, but we looked good IMO. Hook’em!!!
  24. I won’t go there, as I’ve been drinking and I love Surly. Hook’em!!!
  25. Just want the possible best in this situation for Tennessee. Neyland is awesome in the Fall as a CFB fan. Didn’t ride a boat to the experience in the mid -‘80s, but was an awesome experience and stepped on one or two docked boats. And I was a youngster, with eyes wide open! Hook’em!!!
