It’s been so long that I used to think you must be old being Colonel, USAF (retired) and now I have friends I went to TCU with that are Colonel, USAF (retired). Life comes at you fast.

I still work around active duty USAF dudes almost 20 yeas after retiring (crazy!). We always joked about boy colonels (looked young and/or fast burners). Hell they are all boy Colonels now

Just caught the last few innings of my first Savannah Bananas game on TV. Gotta say, not that impressed. They flubbed every single stunt they tried to pull. Must be like watching Dude Perfect outtakes where they miss the trick shot the first 17,000 times they try it.

That routine fly ball the Texas player tried to catch behind the back was bad, but I didn't mind the 2B volleyball set in the 8th.

I was at the Kane County Cougars game tonight. The fans were treated to a walk off grand slam.

Jason Stokes played for Kane County.
Stokes could have been a power-hitting star but was always injured.

I got to see Josh Beckett, Miguel Cabrera, Dontrelle Willis, Nelson Cruz, Albert Almora, Dan Vogelbach, Wilson Contreras, Jeimer Candelario, Kyle Schwarber all play. I missed Sam Demel and Alex Young...it seemed like they never pitched when I made it to a game.

Top's post inspired me to do a bit of digging into some of the details...​

In November 1923, the freshman football team from Texas Christian University defeated a team referred to in some sources as “Terrell Prep” by a lopsided score of 63–0. While it may sound like this was a team from the town of Terrell, Texas, the opponent was almost certainly Terrill Preparatory School, a prominent boys’ prep and junior college located in Dallas. Founded in 1906 by Menter B. Terrill, the school had a strong academic reputation and fielded competitive athletic teams, particularly in football. During the 1910s and 1920s, Terrill Prep regularly played against college freshman squads and maintained an impressive record of 144–23–8 over its football years. The school’s football program served as a stepping stone for both players and coaches—Pete Cawthon, who later became a well-known college coach, led the team around 1921–22.

A memorable (if somewhat darkly humorous) account from that 1923 game describes how TCU, down to just 10 healthy players late in the fourth quarter, faced forfeiting the game unless they could field a full team. One injured player, Ernest Lowrt, reportedly sat up and declared, “I’m all right, coach,” then promptly passed out. The coach responded by laying the unconscious boy on the field to meet the requirement and avoid forfeiting. While the game result was never in doubt, that moment likely became part of TCU campus lore.

Terrill Prep eventually closed in the mid-1940s, with its legacy absorbed into what is now St. Mark’s School of Texas. Despite the scoreline of that 1923 game, Terrill Prep was a serious academic and athletic institution in its time, and the confusion in the name—“Terrell” vs. “Terrill”—has led to some historical mix-ups.

Almost 2 weeks ago we had my grandmother's funeral at the National Cemetery by DBU. She was from West Virginia so my mom wanted to play Country Roads. For some reason she selected my brother to play it off his phone and he gets a client blowing up his phone. Kid you not, called 5 times and my brother declined it every time. Finally got the dude to stop calling and my brother accidently hit forward and it went straight into an ad. My brother does real well for himself and the dude is too cheap to pay for Spotify premium.
