If you didn't hear this today, listen to it it's an extremely cool interview. Nice job Gabe.

btw, when can I get another trial subscription to TexAgs? I'm ready to call in. I'm just a poor law student who is now suffering from withdrawal symptoms as of this morning.

Dodge...that's awesome! Please see that Jimmy gets to see this feature. He said he wanted to but said he isn't very Internet savvy. Please pass this link on to other family members. He did a great job on the show!

Watched Mr. Wright play and was at both Rice games, 55 & 57. Tremendous, tremendous player and what a great interview. Best one I have heard to date.

Thank you.

By the way, Mr. Wright is right on the mark about Bobby Joe Conrad. We let him kick field goals and we elimnate the one tie game with UH in 1956 (undefeated with 1 tie that season, was at that game as well), and go undefeated and untied in 56 and 57.

What an interview! Please get this great Aggie back on. He has a fire and a burning desire for Texas A&M. Heck, make it mandatory every recruit in every sport must talk to this man.

He is an amazing guy, and I couldn't be more proud to be his grandson. I heard these stories growing up, but it was even better knowing that all of you had the pleasure of hearing them now
