One of the best parts of writing Dance With Who Brung Ya since 2021 is how many amazing fans I’ve gotten to interact with. Cutting my chest open and pouring out my guts on paper for all to see about fanhood, football, failures and more has been a true blessing. I’d like to consider myself a pretty devoted fan, I mean I named a kid after a legendary Longhorn player, I have season tickets and I’m writing a book on the Longhorns after all. But let me just tell you, I have absolutely nothing on superfan Bill. After my SEC hate rankings article, Bill sent me an amazing e-mail full of great nuggets about Texas joining the new conference, road trips and more. But what impressed me most was this mind blowing sentence Bill ended his e-mail with: “I’ve got a lot of history packed into my brain – having missed one home game since 1976 (272 of 273), and 251 of the 321 road games in that period. October 12th will be my 49th straight OU game. I generally phrase my opinions as “based on nearly 50 years of close observation and an unhealthy emotional attachment.”
So, I had to have Bill on the pod to discuss. Stick with us as we get better sound quality and production value. Your host will get better too…
