Trapper O'Connell was More than Just Another Literary Character

Other than jumping on the Gravy Train of Trapper O'Connell's Retirement, I feel that he was responsible for Athletic Trainers across America and Beyond. Unlike other Football Powerhouses, getting Odessa Permian MOJO Panthers Football History out into the open is like Pulling Teeth.

Trapper O'Connell was more than just another literary character. He did not ask to be a literary character, as James Miles's Injury Ordeals drug him into being a literary character. Trapper was not happy being a literary character and most people in Odessa do not like even now their Family or their Community being drug into being a literary character.

I feel the MOJO of the 1980's would have beaten everyone but East St. Louis and the MOJO, in a Pure Football Stance, would have beaten everyone except Concord De La Salle and East St. Louis. That is high praise and the 7th Flag Hex has been torture to solve.

This is a man who is responsible for Athletic Trainers across America and Texas and I feel that I should give him his due, even though I've never been to West Texas or Ratliff Stadium.

Different Names for the Soon to be Renamed Odessa Permian- Midland Legacy Rivalry

 I feel for different names for the soon to be renamed Odessa Permian-Midland Legacy Rivalry would be Old Habits and War Games. I find that both would be fitting for a nasty rivalry.

I do think Last Summer was the Last Straw for the Soon to be Renamed Midland Lee High School, even though the Confederate Imagery and Names where scrubbed years ago. It would be a rarity where you'd have a meaningful territorial rivalry that is actually played annually.

My standing would be the MOJO Black and White and that is more because of the Book, Movie, and My Elders History Collectively. I am not a Fan Boy and it would be dangerous to be one.

It is harder to smell the Roses if you are a Fan Boy and that is not easier. We are consumers, not appreciators and that is hard to get across. A big part of the Movie and the Book "Friday Night Lights" went through the Midland Lee Game and neither fan base likes to talk about either.

I'd Like to See Permian Shake the Plano Monkey Off their Back

 I'd like to see Odessa Permian shake the Plano Monkey off their back, because they have still never beaten the Plano Wildcats, even though All 4 of their Games Where Classics in Texas High School Football. 

Even though they've beat Dallas Carter by Crook and On the Field, especially when the former was the reason why needed Stronger Laws and Schools, but, Plano has been the Monkey on their Back.

I would start with when I was 20, and I was all around mad Girls weren't working, I was all around mad Money wasn't working, I was all around mad that the freebies weren't coming in and I was blowing through and buying stamps like no one's business. (That was the Non-Recriminal Part)

One of my first Returns from Texas High School Football was Plano in their Last Big Playoff Run. Odessa Permian was mad they where at home in the tail end of their Longest Playoff Drought in School History.

I feel that 2 of their Biggest Missed Opportunities in MOJO to raise the State Championship was 2008 when Allen stole the upset and their chance at a State Championship, and 2015 when they couldn't solve San Angelo Central.

I'd feel that Mr. Ellison should schedule Plano and MOJO as a Week 2 Home and Home in 2022 and 2023 and I would like to see the Main Event Scheduling of this rivalry, which has been One Sided toward Plano and I'd feel that for a lot of these outliers, they are not the same.

They'd copy elements of the MOJO Experience, but, they'd not feel the same program.

I'd rather'd have a Merry MOJO State Championship Christmas Next Christmas!

I feel up here in Eastern Iowa, the news is unbearable, and for as much as I'd want to wish the Presidential Candidates Away, the reality is much, much bleaker after the Presidential Candidates leave town.

Okay, I am focused like a Laser Cat about wanting to see Permian's 7th State Championship Flag next December 19th have noise akin to the Last Time Janis Joplin took more than a little crowd in Texas, and I feel like Galena Park North Shore is not focused.

I know Galena Park part of Texas's Gambling Capital in Sports, in Baytown's Back Yard. This is not all about a Merry MOJO State Championship Christmas Next Christmas, but it is, for the first time since we had the Soviet Union, believe it or not, I'd want to see Permian win their 7th State Championship Flag.

I'm getting spiritual here, as I'd sense the December 5th and the Better than the Royal Order Massillon 25th State Championship and their 900th "Mama Mia" of a Win on August 28th! East St. Louis Flyers Football will hit the road to Red Grange's Field at Illinois for Title X and the Earning of the "Ironhead" Years after 40-0 Life in the 1980s on the day after Thanksgiving.

I hope and I pray I am not wrong. I'd rather the UIL do some of the usual Bread and Butter Districts again like the Little Southwest Conference in Orchestra and the All Dallas Districts to make up the City Championship in truth.

I would at least think it would be plausible if A Million People showed up because Permian played in the State Championship and 500,000 of those People where there just for Permian. You don't have 500,000 People in Permian's Feeder Line in Ector County ISD, and Hotels and Bars would be overflowing like the Oklahoma Game was on.

I know this going from one end of the year to the other, but, I really would like to see a Vision Quest, Real Crowds like AT and T Stadium Snatched the US Attendance Record, or more appropriately, the Texas Motorplex or Texas Motor Speedway, and they'd lose their mind between MOJO and No-MOJO like it was myth or legend, but it was not myth or legend, and it doesn't feel the same with Midland Lee or anyone else.

How Come Aledo is Closer to the Giant Double Digit Texas Throne than Odessa Permian?

I feel annoyed enough to find out the true Best Ever Aledo Football is Closer to the Giant Double Digit Texas Throne than Odessa Permian! If that was me, I'd feel happier if Odessa Permian Winning and Aledo ain't and Odessa Permian Winning Big and Aledo Football Watching it all on TV!

Granted, it is as raw and adrenaline filled as it gets. I don't like the bureaucracy of a Dozen State Championship Trophies and I'd feel like if we'd have 4 Classes like the 1970s, we'd have Harris Countyesque Home Field Halos, Still, but, it would measure the Biggest State on Home Field Throughout.

I'd hate to paint the Aledo Bearcats like the Midland Lee Rebels, but, I feel that we can't let the Biggest State Championship go to an Eh State! This is already a Meh Year and I feel Motivation should start even if we had buses of Odessa Bronchos storm the State University of Iowa.

I don't throw my support to anyone, and I feel like the MOJO Panthers have to win big when it counts! If it was something like having a Home and Home with Concord de La Salle, I'd want to see Permian win Big! Motivation to me would be the MOJO Machine and the 40-0 East St. Louis Flyers locking Horns for a Multiyear Non Conference Series!

I am not in a mood to hear why the Duncanville Panthers are National High School Football's Doughboys and I am in less of a mood why Jerry Jones has not raided Fort Worth as soon as this Morning! I'd like to see Permian race to Double Digit State Championship Remarks, long, long before Galena Park North Shore had the 10th.

I'd feel if that was me, I'd have the Million Person State Championships. That would be something the University of Texas would fight, but, I'd like to restart the everything's bigger in Texas Tradition and have Odessa Permian go On and On and On and On the State Championship Flags for the Next 4 Years.

The Thankless Honor of the Actual Summer Homecoming of Blake Feldt to Midland ISD

We've had the Summer Movie soak us like a Summer Homecoming due to having a criminal shortage of good Hollywood Execs, but, I feel like I'd have to swallow my pride in the actual Summer Homecoming of Blake Feldt to Midland ISD.

And, sadly, it destabilizes a region in its money sport without Feldt being the head zookeeper at Odessa Permian. And, we've nationally in sports had to have the same move pop like "Truck" repeatedly and I feel courage to me would have to be merit scholarship, even though we have to cover everything like Tampa-2 as opposed to being 5, which is a travesty.

And, Midland ISD's Fan Attendance had been nothing short of a Studio Audience, and that is no way to raise a family. No way at the Erwin Center and no way at Reliant Stadium. And, I'm not aware of how Cy-Fair would do Back to Back, and I'd see Yates vs. Carter 3 Million Deep like it was a Thanksgiving Game.

I mean, there'd be fans and alumni of Odessa Permian livid who'd feel he'd stay long enough to Go Home, like Good Assistants where not always an option. And, this is the Thankless Honor of the Actual Summer Homecoming, unless you Midland ISD.

Blake Feldt leaving for Midland ISD Wrecks the MOJO Machine

I feel, as a MOJO Fan purely, "What Do You Mean Blake Feldt's Leaving?" like anyone else, and I am sure the Alumni Base has to look horrible for an inevitable homecoming, unlike having to sue to block Quisenberry from leaving MOJO in the 1990s.

Nobody else at home in my Eastern Iowa that didn't have any MOJO Alumni ties could figure the ball out of the Brown Paper Bag. And, the sad state of Permian Affairs in 2018 is they NEED to be more Well Oiled than NFL Teams, and that is 2018.

And frankly, this is a fan base that doesn't take late hits well at all. And, that includes the midsummer disintegration of Bishop Timon that roasts Western New York and West Texas.

I think too, who would the MOJO Machine find on short and orderly notice? You have Coaches Shows, Political Pressure to actually be the 7th Flag, and to carry the region. And, sadly, if El Paso Independent steals sacks of brownies like its a Truck Stop, I am sure in the Red Hot Summer Heat of 2019, Ector County would play angry and win big and not just be part of the game of the year.

Belicheck's New England Patriots vs. Almost God Wilkins Permian MOJO Panthers at Ratliff: How Such a Game Would Look

I feel that Bill Belicheck would be the integrity antithesis of the late John "Almost God" Wilkins, the multitime State Champion of the Great MOJO Machine. And, I wonder how much of a game would play down.

And, Wilkins's Panthers have been known to play through any weather, including apolyptic conditions. I'd feel like Belicheck wants to make every game into the Army-Navy Football Classic, not just the Army-Navy Football Game.

And, MOJO! would be ripping through Ratliff, Texas, and a lot of the Country outside the Northeast. And, it would not just be denying Tom Brady the right to stomp on that hellacious Ratliff Turf, it would be following 10 Minute Drives with getting nasty over punting the football.

And, after 1 10 Minute Drive, defense's only attitude is Get Nasty, and Nastier and they'd be picking apart a 14-0 Hole that needs to be shipped back to Boston. And after a Quarter, I think the 21-0 Pick and Roll would be in force. Everybody on the MOJO Sideline would be wearing their helmet as it would be akin to a DC Streetball Game.

And, by the time the Permian Band would roll, it'd be 42-0. And I feel in my write-in, I'd like to see how the tables got turned from the Punisher to the Punished and not just another "Just Play Sports" just to see how nasty people would turn against their worst rivals.

I'd feel after the half, New England tries to throw anyone in and they'd be down 84-0 in a Post-Apotolypic Ector County. And, to get their Whataburgers, Wilkins's Panthers would score a Safety a Minute to a 120-0 as Brady and Belicheck would be full on cussing everyone out over such an experiment.

Again, I feel it is an experiment, and a write-up in how AG Wilkins would have handled things against the chronic glitch of Belicheck, which people would scout the Patriots 18 Times and on the 19th, they'd wear you down. But, I feel instead, trying to editorialize how such a social scene would overwhelm someone else's best.
