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

    • I think this whole discussion is getting overly hyped. My son played 3 sports and went on to play college football (still in school). I played 4 sports and went on to play college football. Neither of us (separated by 30+ years) got anything but support from our respective AD's and coaches.
    • ADs don't allow them to do school baseball drills in the middle of football season, though.  so the double standard is still there.
    • "AD's don't allow them to play"  that's false.  I've watched many of fall ball games and I can name 3 or 4 SETX teams that had football players on the team. 
    • I would not say NO ONE REALLY CARES WHAT HAPPENS WITH BASEBALL.. All you have to do is go to Ford Park every weekend and look at how much money parents pour into baseball.. lol I get what you are saying.. but look at it from this point of view... WINS look good on resume correct? Would a AD do better if he has all his multi-sport kids stay in his program? Again they are usually the more athletic kid. Is his actions driving away the more athletic kids to "concentrate on one sport"? Sometimes more is not better.. Kids get burned out really quick if they believe their AD/Coach does not care about their personal athletic dreams and desires.  Like I said.. a Good AD knows how to navigate this issue. 
    • Never understood why you can't be good at all 4 major sports. If you are talented enough, and athletic enough to be a Regional Finalist football team, then you would think you would be athletic enough to at least be competitive in basketball. If you wanted to be...... And as big a baseball town as Jasper is, where did that tradition go? Where are those kids now?
