Same exact thought. I am a basketball guy through and through.

This is Dallas (even Ft. Worth). It's not a basketball town, it's not a football town, either.

It's a winner's town. Period.

I sometimes think this town would support professional tiddlywinks, as long as the local team was winning.

I would drop Football if we could get 50 years of top 25 teams and elite basketball too. But I will always have that itch and would like football to hit top 25 as well.

It will be slow, but we will get there.

There are nine siblings in all and they all start with m.


Yeah, McKinley is gonna be a stud athlete as well the one in 6th grade I believe. The whole family is athletic as hell.


The 6th grader is a real gamer and is coached on the AAU level by ex SMU baller, Rod Hampton.
