Is 91 too late to start tweeting? This account shares Red's business tips and life wisdom. Managed by Red’s grandson, since Red doesn't own a cell phone 😉

The best decision I've ever made, up and down, from start to finish, was marrying Charline.

[KLRN @klrn]

The late Charline McCombs was a strong supporter of the arts in San Antonio. On this edition of the Beat, we take a look at her contributions to the arts and public TV.

It’s so appropriate that my last alumni visit on the last day of the decade is w/ the Remarkable @RedMcCombs. We miss the Incomparable Charline, but we remain grateful to the entire McCombs family for their continued friendship, generosity & leadership @SouthwesternU.

45 years ago as a kid at the Hemisfair Arena, I got every @Spurs autograph, including players, coaches, trainer, broadcaster, GM and @RedMcCombs

This was the second year the #Spurs were in #SanAntonio

Thank you to @RedMcCombs & the group of visionary business leaders who brought the Dallas Chaparrals to town in 1973.

On October 10, 1973 the Spurs regular season opener was played at the Hemisfair Arena against the San Diego Conquistadors who were coached by Wilt Chamberlain.

[Bill Schoening @SpursRadio]

46 years ago today the San Antonio Spurs took the floor for the first time in the ABA. From those humble beginnings, it’s been a pretty remarkable run. Thanks Red!

[Brad Townsend @townbrad]

That leased team, of course, was the Dallas Chaparrals -- and the rest is history, 5 NBA championships' worth.

The first @spurs game was played!

We had learned during HemisFair that SA wasn't on the map - we needed a major pro sports team to change that. So a group of SA businessmen (incl. myself) leased the Dallas ABA team. I wasn't even a basketball fan at the time!

Gates open at 5:30am!! I’ll be serving donuts and breakfast tacos for first 500 Longhorn faithful who dare to join me at this hour.. can’t wait 👏🏽👏🏽🤘🏽🙌🏽

[Red McCombs @RedMcCombs]

Charline always reminds me that I've never quite had abs of steel...

But I remind her I've got a body of bronze!

[Jim Lefko @jimlefko]

Both San Antonio sports aficionados and #spurs fans have long appreciated the contributions of this #Longhorns benefactor, who also has a statue inside the impressive UT Athletics Hall of Fame. #redmccombs

[Don Harris @DonHarris4]

One of San Antonio’s all time great leaders. Honored to know her. Leaves a lasting legacy for our city.

[Deborah Knapp @DeborahKnappTV5]

So sad to learn Mayor Lila Cockrell has passed away. A true icon - serving as SA’s first female mayor in 1975 - she served this city into her 90’s. A truly wonderful woman. Here st her 97th Birthday signing her autobiography #kens5eyewitness

[Red McCombs @RedMcCombs]

Now that’s the truth!

[Jody Chavis @JodyChavis]

@RedMcCombs Mom's always know a secret way to get us to see their perspective

Took me a while to find my style... nothing but boots for me now!
