I have proudly flown the avatar of TexNole for awhile now.
I had made an avatar bet with CFF on the LSU - Tennessee super regional series in college baseball. Tennessee destroyed the Tigers and I was prepared to wear the avatar that CFF would give me. He asked that I fly the TexNole avatar. He changed his avatar and so did I.
Three weeks ago I stated I would fly the TexNole avatar for 21 more days. Tomorrow is that day.
A lot of posts have been made concerning TexNole. And he will be missed - his depth of knowledge that some of his posts contained were over my head for sure.
Tomorrow I will go back to having an avatar that represents LSU. It will the starting QB for LSU this season, "Max Johnson."
But never let us forget TexNole and all his memorable posts. A final salute to TexNole.

Great post GTF. He is probably talking FSU-Notre Dame right now with Bobby Bowden. Or maybe, he is comforting some of his fellow Afghanistan Veterans who probably need it about right now. He served a couple of tours in Afghanistan and Iraq. Thanks to you and CFF for a job well done.

My honor. Although I had never met TexNole - He was close to me - like all of my posting brothers and sisters.
I have enjoyed posting through the years - starting with the CBSSports site, the TBDPITL site and now this site.

Indeed, Tex is missed, and will be for a while. He was a well-respected member of this board, and an honorable man outside of it. Nonetheless, we can't mourn forever. Bring on that "little kitten" avatar of yours, GTF.

It’s a “shoe” reference, Buster Brown. Get it? Okay. I get it. But Joe never threw a shoe. He was "shoeless".

He served a couple of tours in Afghanistan and Iraq. Thanks to you and CFF for a job well done. Good post as well. I was selfishly bummed that I was missing an opportunity for me to banter with Tex regarding the FSU—ND game. But he’s probably found plenty of others by now to discuss football and other matters. I will still enjoy a drink in his honor at kickoff of the game.

Why don't we all on Sept 4th host a drink in honor of Tex, no matter where we are. I hope to be in the Rose Bowl Stadium and I and my sons will take a drink in the honor of Tex.
It will have to be a beer or wine as that is what they serve in the Rose Bowl Stadium.

Great idea. I will be in Atlanta for the Army-Georgia State game at noon, but will definitely make a toast to Tex before kickoff in Charlotte.
