Courage. You're a 19 year old kid. You're critically wounded and dying in the jungle somewhere in the Central Highlands of Viet Nam. It's November 11, 1967. LZ (landing zone) X-ray. Your unit is outnumbered 8-1 and the enemy fire is so intense from 100 yards away, that your CO (commanding officer) has ordered the MedEvac helicopters to stop coming in. You're lying there, listening to the enemy machine guns and you know you're not getting out. Your family is half way around the world, 12,000 miles away, and you'll never see them again. As the world starts to fade in and out, you know this is the day. Then - over the machine gun noise - you faintly hear that sound of a helicopter. You look up to see a Huey coming in. But.. It doesn't seem real because no MedEvac markings are on it. Captain Ed Freeman is coming in for you. He's not MedEvac so it's not his job, but he heard the radio call and decided he's flyin

Just sayin....

Give Texas A&M ONE play back........and we're the undisputed Big 12 South champions and 10-2. Just one freakin play. So why the $%^& are OU and OSU ranked so much higher when we destroyed OU and that ONE PLAY is what seperates us and OSU? Mutter. Our three losses are to the following teams: #14 Oklahoma State 10-2 --lost due to 5 turnovers but the worst was the one that let them kick a game winning field goal with seconds left #7 Arkansas 10-2 --Lost when the razorbacks intercepted a game tying touchdown pass. 4 interceptions #12 Missouri 10-2 --No excuses they wiped the field with us. We beat the following teams: #9 Oklahoma 10-2 #14 Nebraska 10-2 and I've got to go to class.
