@txhsfbchat @CoachGameState Sun Tsu says know yourself as well as your enemies. Shoot your shot to end it. Win or lose. Every coach needs to read, “The Art of War”.

[Andy Gower @givepullorpitch]

@txhsfbchat @CoachGameState Undoubtedly

[Andy Gower @givepullorpitch]

@txhsfbchat @CoachGameState As OC on 3rd and less than 4 or so, based on place on the field and game I ask the HC. “Do I have one or two to get this?” That dictates my 3rd down call.

[Andy Gower @givepullorpitch]

@tempo_strike I can’t imagine why you shattered it. It was about a 14-120. How long ago were you #120?

[Andy Gower @givepullorpitch]

@tempo_strike Congratulations. You are really making me feel old. I remember watching you flex the dickens out of an old black cat-a-pole I gave you pole vaulting at Rush Springs. Do you think you can still flex a pole?

[Andy Gower @givepullorpitch]

@CoachT_Robinson @flexbonetriple @txhsfbchat @HogFbChat @Run_TheDamnBaII @PaceNSpace2 @CoordCorner @WingOffNetwork @OCAcademy11 @FirstdownX__Os @TheLastFullback Most of the time with a 2i that would read pull. Obviously a stunt or bad technique by the 2i. Hard to get guard inside release on that, but that one was easy.

[Andy Gower @givepullorpitch]

@DeanBlevins @zander @OU_Baseball I was impressed. Question not pinch running for the catcher in the bottom of the 8th. Would have been on third with the next base hit.

[Andy Gower @givepullorpitch]

I used to think Mike Tirico was one of the best in the business. I had no opinion on Reggie Miller. The bias and nauseating love for one player on a national broadcast is embarrassing. Do better NBC.

[Andy Gower @givepullorpitch]

@RNS_Historian Guess who won?

[Andy Gower @givepullorpitch]

@CoachKdawgSwift @txhsfbchat Well, are you going to take it?

[Andy Gower @givepullorpitch]

@TheOklahoman_ High character guy. Would have made an outstanding State Superintendent .

[Andy Gower @givepullorpitch]

@CoachPayne__ 7tech. That’s the way Bear and the boys did it and that’s the way it is. Although they were drinking lots of whiskey at the time.

[Andy Gower @givepullorpitch]

@Jimfrombaseball Dan was also in the 45th division in Korea. They also had a very good base football team. My dad was part of that. Said he was a fine player and human.

[Andy Gower @givepullorpitch]

@MrPitbull07 No way I’m defending dad’s bad attitude or failure to discipline and control the child. Just saying many of you don’t understand the isolation a family experiences with a handicapped child or adult.

[Andy Gower @givepullorpitch]

@MrPitbull07 Yes, the flight attendant handled that wonderfully. What if a child has a disability, say autism? Should that family live in isolation? I’m not defending a father’s attitude or lack of effort. Just asking.

@jimshapiro Drive Super8 to the developer Friday night, sit in the parking lot talking the night’s games with area coaches. Get your one copy by 1 or 2 am if you were lucky. Trade previous two weeks film at 8am Saturday at a convenience store goodness knows where. Go blind seeing bad film.

[Andy Gower @givepullorpitch]

@nut_history I remember my dad telling me he was so proud of himself. He hit a foul ball.

[Andy Gower @givepullorpitch]

I don’t have a dog in this hunt. Does it bother you that “rules analysts” always agree with on the field call. Especially on DPI. Had about four, “letting them play” and one DPI and they all looked alike to me.

[Andy Gower @givepullorpitch]

@CODY_GARDNER @CoachVass @kdawgswift Flattered. I was a position coach in someone else’s system while my son was playing and working on my advanced degree. Came back as OC a while later and we lit it up. Young guys hadn’t seen it and struggled defending. I think a return would handcuff the youngins.

[Andy Gower @givepullorpitch]

@HowThingsWork_ Loved my 4020 and my 4320 is even better.
