Brownwood-1962..... one losing season since 1957.....

We do not like to lose. Seven Football State Championship teams in that period.

Most of the above schools have lost to Brownwood...they rest haven't played them.

Notable grads:

Robert Howard: author of "Conan the Barbarian" [buried in Brownwood]

Lawrence Elkins: #1 draft pick of AFL in 1965, first Rd pick (GreenBay), NFL.

Jim Morris: "The Rookie" -actual pitcher.. he coached in Big Lake but was a Brownwood grad.

Bob Denver: Gilligan of Gilligan's Island.

Paula (Jill Jackson) of "Paul and Paula", recorded "Hey, Hey Paula!" and more.

Danbury High School (between Alvin and Angleton just SW of Houston)

Colors: Black and gold(gold)---although many times it seems gold was always yellow back in the day... blink.gif

Classification: Class AA

School song:

Let our voices loudly ringing

echo far & near

Songs of praise we're always singing

To our our memories dear

Danbury, Danbury, dear ol' Danbury

Times of change may bring

Still the name of Danbury High School

Evermore we'll sing!

(sung to the tune of "Far Above Cayugas Waters")

GO PANTHERS!

** Nolan Ryan owns the bank in Danbury. It's called "Express" Bank".......: smile.gif

** One of Ronald Reagans inner White House circle, ie, James H. Baker, married a Danbury girl who was a friend of my late older sister, Nina. Her name is Susan Garrett Baker. I have a photo somewhere of both Nina and Susan at our old homeplace..........James H. Baker's great-grandfather was one of the founding fathers of Rice University.

I believe our high school alma maters share a school song. Ours is "Far above the Brazos River"

Gatesville State School....GED.....1966

Youthful indiscretions led me to a life of crime at a young age. I am sure ya'll feel my pain.

Stabbed a gas station attendant because he would not give me 10 cents for a coke.

I wanted to get an art degree because I was pretty good doing tatoos at Gatesville and and at pop's tatoo parlor and beer joint before I got incarcerated for 3 years.

Anyway, I did get a minor in art and gave some nice young ladies, in my art classes, some pretty neat tatoos, after hours. Got caught by one of my profs giving a lady a tatoo during class....it was an ongoing project.

That is my story where I graduated and why.

Killeen High School "Fighting Kangaroos" 2000. We were 5A that year, then bumped to 4A when the two new schools opened.

Army JROTC Battalion Commander at full-bird Colonel, Color Guard XO, Varsity Drill Team 2nd Squad Leader.

Then I graduated and became an art student. Go figure, huh?

I'm an old Childress Bobcat......Class of 1960

I am trying to think of anything noteworthy to mention. I guess the closest any other Bobcat came to fame was David Seals. David did a little time in the big house for rustling cattle. The third night in a row that he backed his cattle truck up the the same spot in the same rancher's pasture to "borrow" a few head of cattle he was captured. Now that takes guts - or no brain.

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I am torn on what to do with EM, but I know he needs to go. Many say we need a HC with head coaching experience at the FBS level. I know there are HCs at other FBS programs doing more with less, but would they come to a place where historically it's difficult to win consistently and risk it all if their eye is ultimately on a power conference job? Then if you take a P4 conference former HC, they have most likely been fired and they may not get the mojo back like Tom Herman at FAU or Charlie Strong. So, if that is the case where do we go? Many are saying no FCS HC or no more coordinators who have not been a HC at this level. Again where do we go if not those type of guys? My thought is that you may have to hire that guy that this board has been reluctant to go after. That's the guys who have had issues somewhere else and that's why they are no longer where they are. Lane Kiffin had issues and FAU gave him the chance to resurrect his career. Alabama gave Sarkisian (spelling) a chance to resurrect his career and he is doing good things at Texas. We have tried a lot of things, but we have not tried that route of HCs with some skeletons in their past. I feel that if that coach wins, people will forget about their past. I am sure people at Texas have forgotten about what went down with Sark at USC. Just my opinion because we have been striking out for a long time on HCs.

      In case you’re a Yeti collector

      YETI has a collegiate collection. I didn't get a chance to snag one of the above, so I'm hoping that UNT will become available on their website. Eventually?

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I'm not sure what the path is for Cobbs long term. A lot of us would absolutely love to have him in a HC role in Denton, but we want to see him gain HC experience first. Do we take a chance and give him that crown? Do we watch him leave, and possibly not return...ever?
