Linda and I ate regularly at Dos Gringos. Her home was a museum: TCU, Rangers, Click and Clack, Hopalong Cassidy and menorahs. Although Jewish, she had the highest grade ever recorded in the Life and Teachings of Jesus. I loved her personal stories of athletes. She bought Nolan Ryan’s Lincoln...

I saw the game with my father. Never saw another game to compare with it. I saw the game with my father. Agree with Limp—but I think it was Lee’s Linus Baer who was injured at the all star game in Ft. Worth.

Yes. It’s North Dakota State that’s usually in the game.

He was second on minutes last night, had the game clinching three pointer and a key assist in the last minute.

His sister graduated from TCU and went to Auburn for graduate school, Vet school I think.

I remember that on Boo’s long run against UT,“Super Bill” Bradley had the angle to tackle him, but Boo smoked him and wasn’t touched. A real shame that Ross and Boo were seldom healthy at the same time.

I remember the headline in the Skiff after the Wogs beat the UT freshmen: “Even Boo with the Flu Flew.” Norm had fever and gained over 100 yards on two carries.

He could have starred in football. He was great in high school. Without weight training Mickey was 6’5” and weighed 255. He was the fastest player on the basketball team and was an all-conference, left- handed pitcher on the baseball team. An incredible, natural athlete.

McCarty played baseball and basketball. He didn’t play football at TCU, but Hank Steam drafted him for the Kansas City Chiefs. Mickey was a large kick returner.

For some reason I don’t think rifle counts. We do have equestrian.

The Vikings plan to run the ball with Delvin Cook. Cousins says that Josh is also a good blocker.

I saw interviews with Cousins and Doctson. Doctson said he held off on other offers, hoping to reunite with Cousins and get back in purple. Cousins seemed really excited. He talked about Doctson high pointing the ball, then added that he’s more than a one trick pony. He can run slants, come...

I don’t think he’s ever seen the campus. I doubt he’d commit sight unseen.

When Johnny Swaim was interviewed before the tournament, he was asked what his team’s greatest weakness was. He said it was lack of height. When asked what the greatest strength was, he smiled and said “rebounding”.

We had 3 recruits signed for 2 slots. Then 4 of our players entered the transfer portal.
