Enjoyed the broadcast. Thanks!

Found it. Had totally forgotten. Sent you a message. Back to the regularly scheduled, way too late coaching moves that just screwed up a year’s worth of eligibility for some young men. 😁

I guess so. Who was the FB I’m forgetting? We ran the full bone then. I’m forgetting someone… I’ll have to dig up my old yearbooks.

Didn’t know they’d done that. That’s a shame. Guess it got too old to repair. Kinda like me. Ha!

Before I went into the Service, I was a WSII (water safety instructor instructor—one of two in SE Texas), and taught lifeguards & Water Safety Instructors at the pool at REL. Used to be one of the better indoor pools I could use in partnership with Red Cross in the area. Trained the first group of lifeguards for Waterworld/Astroworld there.

Haven’t been there in years. But, Snowflake used to be on the northbound side in an old white rundown place that looked like an old drive up joint. You had to know where it was because it was kinda back from the highway and looked like a real dive. Maybe across from the old Bonanza? When TSO was still on Texas. Used to get my glasses there. Used to go to Snowflake just for their humongous apple friitters. Best fritters I ever ate & hard to eat one by yourself.

Reminds me of a funny time we took my grandmother (she was in her 70’s at the time) to a hamburger joint on old 146 kinda across from Snowflake. We tried to order her a hamburger—but, they called them gander burgers there. We almost died laughing because she kept saying she didn’t want a duck burger. She just wanted a plain old hamburger. LOL Don’t remember the name of the place. But, they were good burgers. It’s been decades back.

Dr. Jackson has stated it will be ready for graduation this year. That’s right in the 18-24 month window that was originally proposed. I’m sure the kids will be excited & be able to say they were the first graduating class in the new stadium.

Bubba - yes. Whitmore was the FB. Byars QB, Bubba, Barron & Keith at FB. I know what a goslin is & the mascots. LOL You're right on the score now that I think about it. Forgot y’all had scored by half. Just razzing him because he & I have had side discussions about the Olin times. Lee was a solid club back then. Olin never recaptured the magic at Lewisville.

29-28. At the end of the game. LP led 28-0 at half. Somehow, Lee wasn’t called for a single penalty in the 2nd half, and we were called for at least 2 every series. Lot of upset people after that one. Those refs never officiated again. The game was protested. But, UIL didn’t hear in time. Lee lost the next game. Memorial I think it was… That was the only game we lost that year. Beat Stratford, PA Jefferson, & some other really good teams. Remember it well. I was a Soph. Byars and Walker went to OU. Don’t remember Whitmore going. (I think Goslin is a play on Olin. 😉😜)

I have seen earlier where some Tor fans wanted to try to lure Berneathy. As a grad of Ball, it’s always a consideration. But, I think he’s very happy at LP, has new digs, big-time support, and a squad that could very well compete for a championship next year. LP historically has had a lot more athletes for him to work with than Ball, and his preferred offense is a perfect match for LP kids. Ball needs someone who will air it out all day. That fits their kids. One on one play. A basketball game on turf.

Saw where he had resigned. Don’t know reason.

La Porte 3 Deer Park 0

[Hidden Content] Was able to capture this about highlighted La Porte recruits. Apparently, a lot of scouts and college recruiters will be roaming the new stadium complex in the upcoming season. Peyton Smith already has an offer from Nebraska as well. Haven’t checked on all the others yet.

Article on DCTF Digital about La Porte recruits. I can’t read it. But, I have a good idea of who is being discussed. Maybe even the up & coming QB? If LP has a good dual threat QB, and uses the Pistol T to involve the TE & WR a little more along with the normal Slot T with Simon & Bright, they could be a very tough out. Possibly even tougher to defend than 2024. Of course, Saenz returns as a Sr. as well at QB.
