I live in northwest Fort Worth on a beautiful lake called Eagle Mountain. I am a native Texan, and despite its shortcomings, I love my state.

I tend to be drawn to movies that inspire. I am a real sucker for feel good movies. But, with a 1 year old, most of my movie watching tends to have a cartoon-like quality to them. But, in the interest of being coolly obscure, I will toss the following movies against the wall for review:
Untergang, Der – Also known as Downfall.
The Miracle Mile
First Person series by Errol Morris.

For those who don’t know the reference, my brother went back to college after a an unimaginable set of hurdles and circumstances, and was able to play football for a school that ended up winning back to back conference championships after almost 80 years of losing seasons.

After graduation, he took a defensive line coaching position near Houston, Texas. This is his second year to coach, and he has already been offered, and accepted the position of defensive coordinator for the Garrison Bulldogs. His meteoric rise continues.

You know, I have always had pride in my ability to handle almost any personality in a civil and respectable way. But, I have eternal self shame for allowing these two individuals to ruin many enjoyable trips to the nirvana of my favorite message board. And, of course, the irony of the situation is that these guys are “supposed” Texas fans. We should be a united front against the oppressive east coast media bias against our beloved school. Instead, I led the charge for a community ban against the first one, and a blanket community ignore on the second. I will answer the question with a question. what better toe jam or rickets?

I am now old enough to have an era. The one that crosses my mind more than the others, for the “sheer freedom of youth” of it, is I had a Plant Biology class with five of my friends. We decided to skip it, and drove to a Texas Ranger game in Arlington to see one of Nolan Ryan’s last games before he retired. It was awesome watching him pitch live. TV’s never did his velocity pitch justice. We got back about two in morning, and the guys said, “Let’s drive to Boys Town in Mexico.” One of my friends and I had a double date with a couple of girl’s we had been chasing all semester the following night, so we were a little skeptical about the whole thing. We shot down the highway, into the deep dark Texas south. At some point, someone pulled out about a 100 count of powdered donuts. Now, mixed with beer, it had about 100% kill rate on us all. We were trying to make good time, so we would just roll down the window and throw up. Eventually, we made it to the border, Nuevo Laredo, very early in the morning. One of the guys started asking around about “boys town”, and a cab driver offered to show us for 20 bucks. As we followed this beat up cab down a few back streets, we had the good sense to realize this was how every good horror movie starts. And besides, we weren’t quite sure what we were going to do once we got to “boys town”, but the thought seemed a lot better than the reality. We shot gunned back across the border, but not before buying a newspaper. Then one of my idiot friends took a wrong turn, and we ended up on a small road that was blocked off by the border patrol. The patrol walks up, sees the vomit all over the side of the car, empty beer cans on the floor board, and says, “Can you boys step out fer a few seconds, an let us check yer car?” All four of us looked over at the sleeping mass that was Trey Cerano. We woke him up, and said, “Considering where we are, man, I sure hope you brought some I.D.” They checked the trunk, and our driver’s licenses. Then the older one said, “You got a lot of bugs on yer windshield, you need to get em off before you run into someone and give em a bad day.” My brain dead friend, Rick, walks over to the car, grabs a beer, opens it up, and pours it on the windshield to get the bugs off, right in front of the officer. I mentally prepared for jail. But, the old guy said, “Get outta here.” At this point, I had about enough. I was exhausted, but I was not going to miss my date. So, I became the ass of the trip, imploring us to get the hell back home. I decided to take a quick nap, and the next thing I knew Jeff was waking me up, and after clearing my eyes, realized I was looking at the ocean. “Where are WE?” I screamed. “Corpus Christi,” said Rick. I got out the car, took some sand, and put it in a baggy. I began one of my best impromptu speeches ever. I talked about brotherhood, glorious times, and the incredibly hot Stacey I was going to miss out on, because of scum bag pieces of shite I was surrounded by. They promised to get me home in time. We pulled back into home about 6:20pm. I had my date at 7:00, but I called and asked if I could pick her up at 7:30. I hop in the shower, take a few Vivarin, and pick up Stacey. After I told her where I had been, she didn’t believe me. So, I pulled out the morning’s newspaper from Neuvo Laredo, and the bag of Corpus Christi sand, and I could have sworn, at that moment, she decided to sleep with me. The end.

Most of mine deal with being in a very enviable position with a girl, and finding a way to blow it. What I consider funny now, but not then, was the following story. A beautiful raven haired girl named Valerie consented to go out with me. I professed to be an expert at horse racing, and she wanted very much to go, as she had never been. The last race, I decided to bet big on the superfecta. I told her, if I won, I would give her half. I saw the twinkle of love through the distribution of my wealth in her eyes. The superfecta consists of picking the top four horses. I keyed the horse I thought would win, and wheeled four others. So, what needed to happen, was the horse I keyed needed to come in first, and the four others could come in any order, as long as it was second, third, and fourth. Things get a little fuzzy at this point. I remember seeing the horses down the home stretch. The horse I need to win bounding to the front, making me search the equine traffic jam for my other horses. There was another, and another, and ANOTHER! I began the jump of joy. She screamed. We hugged, we kissed, and we danced. People congratulated us. I puffed out my chest. And on the board came the payoff. $13,700 dollars. She screamed again. Suddenly out of this beautiful creature came comments regarding a lobster and champagne dinner, followed by a stay in the Hilton to celebrate. The recollection is blurry, but I might have moon walked and did the Billy White Shoes dance as we were walking to the ticket counter to collect. I told her that taxes would eat some, but it looked like after the split the books for the semester would be paid for. I smugly handed my ticket to the cashier, pulled out my license and social security card, and waited to count the money. “This isn’t a winner,” the cashier said. I felt my knees give way. I had the key horse, and second, and third, and FIFTH. The horse I needed to get fourth, got fifth, and so, my ticket was useless. To this day, I don’t know why I thought I had it. As I began to explain the reality of the situation to Valerie, I could have sworn, at that moment, she decided NOT to sleep with me. The end.

My family has a cabin in the mountains of Cloudcroft, New Mexico that is a retreat for me. I like the coast of California. Hwy. 1 and Napa Valley are a pretty good way to spend a day.

My favorite parts of Texas are the Hill Country. One day in the future, I am going to spend a month driving those beautiful back roads.

I think it was in 1997 or 98 I found an interview Jim did about FOF 1 coming out by searching for “football simulations”. It sounded like my dream game. I bought it, and shortly after found the old Sidelines board. Poof! Where did the time go?

Originally Posted by MIJB#19

I really have enjoyed multi-player quite a bit, much more than I anticipated. My favorite thing to attempt involves not having to rebuild or draft a team to succeed. I like to find the right mix of players to be competitive every year by picking up a key guy in free agency or a grabbing a player dropped by someone else. It is not the proven formula, but I love being a consistent playoff contender when others are wondering how I do it.

I played basketball from 5th grade through my senior year in high school.
I played baseball from 5th grade through my senior year of high school.

I was told there would be no questions that would require self evaluation. Ok, let me see.
1. I am known for being fiercely loyal.
2. More than half my life was devoted to playing football.
3. I have a library in my house with many thousands of books, most of which I have read.

I used to be quite active in politics. I ran several successful campaigns in the 90’s, and was the youngest delegate at the 1992 National Convention. Because of my youth, everyone seemed to call me Senator, and it has stuck, despite the fact I am less involved in politics now. I think a more appropriate, up to date name, would be He Who Changes Diapers.

Damn you, sir. Turning the microscope around on me!
I have always felt it is a tough experience to capture, because the elements of politics that are reality would bore the average person. You spend most of your time raising money. It is such a big part of the day to day of a typical campaign. If you are really interested in my thoughts on this, please PM me, and I will give a true and detailed report, but I don’t think I could do it justice here. From my experience, getting positive press, advertising, and fundraisers – both private and public – were the constant big three of a campaign.

I like wine, but almost always with a good meal. My favorite beer is Dos Equis. I walk away from shots of the hard stuff. My high school football team went 9-1 and lost going to the playoffs on a coin flip. To me, this was death. My friends and I broke training, going on a weekend drinking binge, with about every kind of liquor imaginable. It was the first and last time I drank myself into a passed out stupor. If one of my friends hadn’t the foresight to put me on my stomach, I would not be here today. I woke up in a pretty bad way. I spent the next three days shaking in bed with alcohol poisoning. It was not my proudest moment, but I am happy it happened. To this day, a shot of tequila will send me to the bathroom. Serves me right.

Speaking of cookies, which are your favorite? Do you dunk your cookies in milk?

Well, the first mistake you made was grabbing a “few” cookies. Economy of effort dictates you get more cookies than milk. You probably won’t have any left over, but it is easier to put cookies back in the shelf, than milk back in the carton.

Oreo Double Stuff – and – oh yes, there is dunking like Jordan going on.

I get my free time in spurts, and unlike FOF, where I can print out my team and review stats, ect., I can’t do that with these types of games. They are pretty impressive, but I watch from a distance.

FOF, obviously, but right now, not solo, only in a league.
I have a very slow OOTP 2007 game going. I started awhile back in 1920, and I am still there.
I will be giving Football Manager another run at some point.

Those 3 are the only games I even have on my PC.

6-10: When I was 6, my parents got me a box set of that year’s Topps football cards. I usually spent all my time scrimping and saving to buy a simple pack of 15 cards, and here on Christmas day, the entire lot landed in my lap. I still have them.

Ages 10-18: Ahh, Mindy Smith. Thank you. But, besides that glorious creature, if there is a heaven, I hope I get a chance to play football in the front yard with my brother like I did during these years. We had more fun than any brothers who ever lived.

20’s: Girls.

Late 20’s, early 30’s: Easily the happiest moments have been my wife marrying me and my son being born. I don’t deserve that much happiness.

My friends classify me as a focused overachiever that has some sort of deep seeded need for success clearly related to feelings of inadequacy as a child.
My friends are mostly rejects.

I couldn’t imagine anyone else, and I thought I had missed my chance at happiness and love. But, goofy clown of fate I was, I met my future wife, and a series of odd occurrences happened to get us together. I wish I could go back to myself at that time and tell me that the good stuff is ahead, not behind.

Nothing special, sadly. Hard workers, my dad’s side has been in Texas forever, and my mom’s side is from Michigan. I, my brother, and my sister are the first ones to graduate college in the history of the family – both sides – that I know of. That causes me real consternation sometimes, wondering why we had to be the first ones to really break out.

Indianapolis. He was there during the Battle of Midway, was a flagship of Admiral Spruance for a time, and was hit full throttle by a Kamikaze. It also delivered the Atom Bomb, and was sunk by the Japanese on the way home, leaving most of the survivors in the water to be eaten by sharks. No one had ever recorded his story. I thought this was a travesty, and one thing led to another, resulting in a book of recorded stories.

The one I still get grief from my friends about is this girl in college that came to be known by us as “Fatal Attraction”. I bought her lunch one time, thinking she was cute, and maybe I wanted to get to know her. From the lunch I knew, not for me, and then spent the rest of the semester trying to get her to understand that. I was playing mixed doubles tennis, and would suddenly see her staring several courts away with her hands grasping the fence. I called out to her, and she ran, got into her car and peeled out. A week later, I got up from my duplex at 7 in the morning to grab the newspaper on the front lawn, and she was sitting in her car watching the house.

If you sound like the Beatles, you have my money.

The old friend was Johnny from the Karate Kid, because I use the line, “sweep the leg” as a default comment on the FOFC board.

If I ever feel we are financially set, I will go and coach football in some little town in Texas. I don’t think I have hit a plateau in my career arc, so who is to say where it will lead me. I have had some pretty interesting jobs up to this point. I keep getting tested, and so far I am living up to it.

Now, pose this same question to my wife, and you may get a totally different answer.

Are you saying my 6’3, 225 pounds frame would not physically handle the NFL? Or my now 5.5 wind aided forty would have something to do with it?
Ok. Mentally – free safety on defense and quarterback on offense.
I have always been a student of the game, and leadership interests me. These two positions are probably closest to my mental makeup.

Scotch on!

[NoMyths]

Great reading, Senator.

Wednesday is the best day of the week because of this stuff. Thanks.

"3. Catch a football pass from Roger Staubach"


I caught a baseball he tossed. One of his kids played my brother's t-ball team, and he and my mom kept score together. He tossed a ball to me to take to the dugout.

[flere-imsaho]

Nice and very enjoyable as well.

[dawgfan]

Awesome - great stories and a very good read overall.

[Radii]

Absolutely wonderful stories, great read Senator.

[CamEdwards]

All great, except for the line about stars being small and dim in Oklahoma.

[vtbub]

Cloudcroft is a wonderful place. Spent Christmas 1979 there.

Yep, I agree. It wasn't great, it was the greatest part of the article.

Great stuff, fellow native Texan.

[korme]

I'm glad I picked you, that was a good read. My favorite was the Boys Town piece. I really thought it was going to end up that the newspaper had some murder story with Boys Town involved. Instead, you got laid. Much better ending.

[Antmeister]

Wow...finally got a chance to read the whole thing. Great job sir. The college flashback was hilarious and I must say you must really love coaching. It doesn't seem too late to get into that, by the way. Fantastical read.

[Lorena]

Very entertaining read Senator, thanks.

Yup, that's what I'm afraid of. We missed the basketball playoffs and didn't care, but football, oh boy, that's gonna hurt.

[Buccaneer]

I was going to ask a couple of questions because Senator is one of my favorite people but I saw that they had already been asked.

One thing I didn't know was that I thought you were still working for Homeland Security. You did used to be the director for airport security, did you not?

[JeeberD]

Great stuff, Sen...

[JediKooter]

Thanks for answering my questions Senator. Good read indeed.

[Young Drachma]

Awesome.
