Hi guys - UPDATE

[boomersoonerbrad]

OK! I found the picture buried deep in my hard drive.




This is my older brother, Jeff. He jst got back from an 18 month deployment in Afghanistan. His wife thought it would be a shot in the dark to e-mail this picture to Mack Brown and see what he thought. Now comes the good part...

Mack responded and asked that the flag that he is holding be presented this Saturday by my brother to the team before the game. Mr. Brown also gave my brother and his wife two fifty yard line tickets. I figured that Mack was a good man so this only cemented that feeling. You guys truly have a class act for a coach. Anyway, I just thought I would share.

Allsome!!

If you can somehow get a picture of your brother presenting the flag to Mack and the team this weekend and update this post, then that will be the icing on the cake.

Wow. Not your typical, "Good American; we thank him for his service and glad to have his support" return email, huh? God I love our coach!

Wow, what a beautiful pic. Glad the photographer didn't tell your brother to "just take one more step backward."

Thanks for sharing, Boomer.

what a cool picture

Your brother was trying to honor the longhorns and in turn, the longhorns are going to honor your brother.

Big thank you and congrats to your brother.

Our condolences as well, with his brother, being a sooner and all.

I want to add some props for our AD on here too. When my roomate, who was also the pharmacy council president at the time, died in a car wreck early in 2006 Deloss Dodds gave us a customized authentic rosebowl team jersey to present to his parents.

 

[DoobieWah]

Very cool all around.

And it was very cool of you, a sister-nuzzlin', puppy-hatin' Spooner, to come post it here.

Thanks.

...OU sucks...but occasionally you can find a decent Okie.
