Porch friends,
I’m taking a year off from the rivalry, out of tribute to Jon. My only comment this fall about OU-Texas, in tribute to our dear friend JCG/HH/CH is
Hook’em
I'd tried to attach a photo my son and I sent Jon to cheer him up when he was in the hospital. The attachment function isn't working for me though, so i just put it in my avatar photo - don't know if you can see that, it's kind of tiny. If you can't, it's just my son and I, standing there with goofy grins, holding a sign that says Hook'em Jon and both with hook'em hand signs.
(As a side note, when we were making the photo, I found that I do not own an orange shirt, and i mean of any shade of orange not just burnt - ha - and so the best I could do was a white shirt with an orange colored binder to frame the message.)
And, I know this did achieve the goal of making him laugh and lifting his spirits, as he later txted me. It may sound silly, and well it is, but as most of you know, our relationship has been one of 20 years of giving each other continuous BS about the RRS, here on the Porch and in offline discussions, and so this was one small way I could tell him that his friendship meant more to me than any football team. I couldn't do much for him while he was suffering with this ridiculously unfair disease, but at least I could do that.
Take care every one and have a good fall,
Cousin Freddie

Good to see you Cousin Freddie. And that's such a nice gesture, I'm sure you made him grin.
Something Jon told me once that makes ME grin-- "You know Marcus, I really appreciate your Facebook posts-- because you post so seldom."
I didn't know whether he liked that I posted seldom and would have liked it better if I posted not at all? Or that he considered my posts to be rare gems and genuinely enjoyed them. And he never explained himself, either.
Hook 'em, Old Bull!

Not a lot more to say. There's an empty chair at our banquet table this year.
To absent friends...

Well-said, Fred.
You've obviously gone insane, but it's a benign sort of insanity in a good cause, and I understand that time will heal the wound, at least to some extent.
