No solace but a bit of perspective: We kick SMU’s tail last Fall & then they beat #17 UH

I know........but our “D” may have needed 17 transfers to solidify what we already have & give others more time to develop?

I think 17 transfers will draw the attention of the NCAA to where there will be limits in the near future, but still how can a recent SMU high school recruit not feel a bit like 2nd hand Rose?

Oh hell sure hated getting beat by SMU last. evening!😩

We move on...we will survive. One season (post-Indian Wars) we got beat by Oklahoma State 61-7 & then we bested what would be a 7-4 Tennessee with a 21-14 win & with...OUR 3’RD STRING FREAKIN’ QUARTERBACK!😱

GMG!

PS: We’re just not where we thought we were, folks. Simple as that.

In days of youth and foolish ignorance, I once spent a whole night trying to scrub clean a dirty grill so I could cook out on it the next day.

Dish soap, steel wool, scrubbed and scrubbed like hell in the sink for hours. Literally, like two whole hours. Came out looking pretty good!

I told my dad the story the next day while cooking up hamburgers, and he explained to me how one usually lights a fire and lets the charcoal or gas heat the grill so that it scrubs off in a minute or two with a brush.

That's how I found out the proper way to clean a grill.

We watched a football game later that day. Simpler times. We didn't know about concussions yet. Not like we do now... Guys "getting their bell rung" was something you'd giggle at. Highlight reels and VHS tapes would compile the sort of hits and collisions that seem like snuff reels to modern eyes.

Back in my younger days, a female kicker was a novelty, and not just in the movies like what they shot here in Denton. Big news when a gal put on a helmet and kicked the old pigskin on field goals and extra points. Then, years later, we found out that one of them early stories of lady footballers was actually pretty sad, and that gal got raped by her one of her own teammates. Now, girls don't seem to kick so much for college. Hopefully not on account of what happened to that Colorado gal... But you never know. And then there's rumors that a lady soccer player might come around and try to kick in the NFL! I wish her luck... Most of them that do it are Europeans and the like, so practically women anyway in my book.

Too bad about yesterday's game. Tough times out there. Ocean storms and the like. Hope gas prices don't go skyrocketing again.

Happy Sunday, everyone. And don't forget to Never Forget on Wednesday.

XOXOXO
