@thrashman10 There is a part of NE Texas that produced unimaginable running back talent for a special time.

@WalkerATX @fox7austin He no Ben Gold, the Dallas arcade assassin of the 80’s.

In my research of the 83 Daingerfield team, I obviously was looking at a few seasons before to follow Thomas Everett’s arc, and the talent out of East Texas at that time was mind blowing. Pre-dated a few years my Billy Simms and Earl Campbell, but his senior year Edwin Simmons was THE biggest prospect in Texas in a talent pool that went deep.

@DannyDrinksWine It insists upon itself.

There might have been better football games in Texas High School Football history, but the atmosphere, crowd, back and forth battle, and for sheer fun and enjoyment, this was the most memorable game I ever watched live. It was billed Dexter Butler vs Dane Johnson but it was a total team vs team - coach vs coach battle where every single play seemed to hold maximum importance.

@kevin_nealon You’re becoming one of the masters; I swear. If you didn’t personally still owe me money, I’d push you more.

@LoboFBHistory My son’s QB coach for a time. An encyclopedia of the game.

@KevG163 10 year old me sat alone one lonely afternoon bemoaning the ending of the season, and had the name of a player I didn’t really know well, seared into my memory bank for life. Watching his game arc was rocket fuel to my imagination.

@MatthewModine Terry Davis and I often talk about how you were the perfect choice for Louden. You captured all his essence from the character in the book. Heck of a screenplay written from it as well.

A Texas side note - on the KC defense was #1983Daingerfield captain Eric Everett, #39, but his teammate was former rival from the 1983 3A Texas state championship game against Sweeny, Tracy Simien, #54.

What a ride we had with Mike Leach. Made football and life a better place to be.

@accuweather @AaronRigsbyOSC I live a few minutes away. Very sad for those people and it was a long night of worry.

@CoachDanCasey Man, memories. Ran the single wing for a decade and angered everyone.

Carthage scored a passing touchdown on them in game 3. A pass from Rougley to Wyche. Extra point failed. The other 2 points was game 1 against Kilgore when a bad snap went over Pittman’s head during a punt. Tony Evans and Gene Rowe were the only two 1,000 yard rushers on the team, but they did have an active 6 deep running back rotation.
Book coming out this fall and movie is in development. https://t.co/UpicROIxzd

@DannyDeraney The subtle “thank you, sir” to the lady commissioner had me rolling.

@KevG163 Gregory Hines was a legend in anything he did. Rip.
