Better days, my friend. Better days.
If you ever met former Cotton Bowl Association Executive Director Jim Brock and he greeted you with “Hoss” – in other words, if you ever met him – you realize the significance of his passing.
Brock, always ready with a cigar, a back slap and a “Hey Hoss!”, never met a man he didn’t like. And I’ve never met a man quite like him.
As for the old stadium he so passionately promoted for decades? Would you believe Texas Southern vs. Arkansas-Pine Bluff?

Sad that the proud ol' joint is being saddled with Division II football.
Seems every week we’re learning what $1.1 billion (with a B) will buy. A Super Bowl here. An NBA All-Star Game there. Throw in some classic college football rivalries and a Big 12 Conference Championship Game.
But today we’re getting a peak – courtesy of our ol’ Cotton Bowl – at what $50 million (with an M) will get you.
Can’t believe there’s not a breaking press conference on ESPN, because news comes bolting out of Ada, Oklahoma this afternoon that on Oct. 18 the venerable Dallas stadium will host … wait for it … wait …
