Not what I was saying, every and right thinking person has fears or respect. If you have no fear or respect for things like fire, the weather, firearms, your Daddy, or God then you are a fool. You're a Disrepectfool. I have had extensive exposure to disrespectful people and time has proven everyone of them was an ignorant idiot.

Fair enough, I too believe everyone has fears, fear is a human instinct, a defense mechanism. But it can also be a crutch.

100% on board with Huepel, and I always felt like we needed a head coach that could win with less talent. That’s why I always had Chris Petersen on my wishlist going back to when we hired Kiffin. Huepel brings that to the table, and personally, I’ll take that over the ceo type HC that can recruit for us.

I do think he needs to surround himself with better recruiters in order to take the next step.

I think he needs to be a little bit more like Dabo when he was first building Texas. He hit on a few studs but had very few misses. Look at the 2023 class… We have 3 starter level players, 6 depth level players and 14 guys that are no longer with us. Last years class shows a lot more potential so hopefully it will be a step in the right direction.

April 30, 1900
On April 30, 1900, John Luther "Casey" Jones was not originally scheduled to work. He had just completed a run and was looking forward to rest, but agreed to take another driver's place on the "Cannonball Express" from Memphis to Canton, Mississippi. This willingness to help colleagues was typical of his generous nature. The train departed Memphis at 12:50 a.m., running about 95 minutes behind schedule. Casey, with his well-known determination to maintain on-time service, was attempting to make up the delay throughout the journey.

As the Cannonball approached Vaughan, Mississippi, neither Casey nor his fireman Sim Webb could see the danger ahead until it was almost too late. A freight train was partially occupying the main line due to a series of miscommunications and equipment failures. When they spotted the red lights of the caboose, they were traveling at approximately 75 miles per hour with severely limited visibility due to fog and a sharp curve.

Casey's final actions became the stuff of legend. In the moment of crisis, he ordered Webb to jump while he stayed aboard, desperately trying to slow the locomotive. He succeeded in reducing the speed dramatically before impact, from about 75 to 35 miles per hour. The collision was still catastrophic, with Casey crushed in the wreckage of his engine cab. He was the only fatality; all passengers survived, saved by his quick thinking and selfless courage.

Amazing how stories get told and legends are made...............The TRUTH is.........Casey was drunk, going way too fast, ignored a warning light, and fell into the brake.
Some hero......Poetic justice

I think everyone has fears. I have fear. Some people have lots of fears, some people have tears for fears.

Some people have irrational fears. Fears of missing aTWSS joke, of pocket presents, of seeing a nude Yeti, fear of waffle stomping said Yeti at Huddle House.

But above all everyone fears DN.

I always thought he was high on coke. I hear he always had a chip on his shoulder because he couldn't get his own locker like his Uncle Davey.

I mean...football is having to deal with trying to keep 80+ players happy all of which got agents, family and friends telling them they can go get bigger bags elsewhere.
