It's a very sad day for us all.  My friend, my bleacher sparing partner, my fishing buddy, and a REALLY good man.  He was passionate about his Broncos and all of the high school athletes in Texas.  I just knew when the phone rang from his number it was to go see a game, sad to say it was not.  I wished I had a dollar for every time I was in a meeting or on a plane and Bobby called to tell me about some smack on this board and him prodding me to go poke at someone.  He would just laugh and laugh as he read these post, despite having read them 10 or 20 times already.  One thing I can say, Bobby was a stand-up guy.  He was always making football fun bets and he always paid up.  Either I was having to wear stupid shirts to a game or he was having to show up in a competitor's shirt, or even once with a stuffed crow on his shoulder.  Bobby, my friend, here is one more smack just for you......GOD SPEED my friend:

Dayton Sucks..............but they are truly lucky to have had you in their stands!!!!!!!!  Love you brother!

I'll never forget the fishing trip the three of us took down to Falcon. One hell of a good time.

I'll never forget when Nederland beat Dayton at Lamar U on that Saturday in the playoffs we meet up and he said these dogs have a chance to make a magic run he came to to Dawson game at reliant and said this atmosphere is magic I don't think Dawson knows what's coming and Nederland pulled it out and the next Saturday vs Georgetown he wore a Nederland shirt to the game I was shocked but had his Dayton hat on. RIP Bobby (liltex) you will be missed on this board. And your insight on Dayton football. Liltex was Dayton football. Semper fi from your Navy Buddy Hooyah

    • are you suggesting that if the football coach runs spring drills then the kids won't play fall ball without supervision?  Because if not, this argument has no relevance.  One doesn't take the place of the other.  one the AD has control of, the other he just tries to.  
    • I don't think it is overly hyped.. I am seeing less and less multi-sport kids when it can all be prevented.. A coach teaches l loyalty, work ethic, comradery, integrity, perseverance, etc.. to get kids to buy into their program. They talk about brotherhood and doing what is best for their community.... But some mean all of this  just for football... Kids see into this double standard and will quit.. either while on the field or off...  drives me crazy!!  and again... I work with these kids.. they tell me what they think.. so you can agree or disagree.. its their point of view!!
    • Hmm..... I tend to disagree. I was a multi sport athlete in High School and am now a coach. Kid is not going to be a very good hitter if he only hits in the spring and summer, I took BP and threw (to keep my arm in shape) during football and basketball season. Kid is not going to be a very good QB, WR or DB if he only throws passes, runs routes or covers receivers in the fall or during a few 7 on 7 games after baseball is over. And a kid is never going to be good shooter of the basketball if he only shoots during the basketball season. Skills are honed, not mastered, they need to be developed and practiced repeatedly.
    • and I'll concede that this is more realistic.  but a good AD can make football the primary focus without messing with the success of other sports.
