  1. So awesome that game was on a National stage. DKR stated that I’ll think that game will be remembered for a while. Yes Sir! Hook’em!!!
  2. Squints beat Nebraska on the road! How about that. And they were ranked too. Yes he threw more TDs to KSU defenders than our own people, but he did beat Nebraska, much of it running himself. Hook’em!!!
  3. Back then practice was “practice” Allen Iverson quote, but they were in full pads Tuesday through Thursday. Full contact and you better keep your head on a swivel if you were on the scout team. Hook’em!!!
  4. Congratulations to the Bayou Bengals! They have a two championship lead over us now. Time for Schloss to get to work. Hook’em!!!
  5. Didn’t like it and told me not to even read it. Loved DKR - I’ll leave it at that. He had 50+ stitches to his face alone and they had face masks back then. Dad hated having to practice against Tommy Nobis, who was also an OL early in his time on The 40. Hook’em!!!
  6. Dad was a “practice” or Scout team player his whole time on The 40. He was standing close to DKR with about 3 minutes left in the game vs Navy. DKR asked have played a snap, which Dad said only on KOs. DKR said go out there son, which my Dad asked which position? DKR said I don’t care, just send someone off the field! Thus my Father “lettered” in his Senior season - final game. ST plays don’t count towards statistics, unless the person runs/catches the ball. He truly was “Rudy” before there was a Rudy! David McWilliams can attest, as they were roommates for over a couple of years. Hook’em!!!
  7. That’s what aggy has been warning the rest of the SEC. Here they come, so buckle up! All sports M/W thanks to CDC. Hook’em!!!
  8. Winning streak ended last night. How does that mentally affect the Chants? We’ll find out this afternoon. Rooting for the little guy, even though I lived in SWLA for 12 years and like LSU. Half of my son’s room growing up was LSU and Texas. When they both met for the championship in the CWS, my son asked his Grandpa if he’d be mad if he rooted for LSU? He just said, son root for who you want and if you want to go there for college, I’ll still be proud of you and love you. Hook’em!!!
  9. All my wrestling, besides the Olympics, and that Matthew Modine HS wrestling movie are my experience of wrestling. Great movie though. The sport just doesn’t make the news feed down here in Texas. Similar to hockey and lacrosse, which are both great sports, you just have to look for them yourself, as they aren’t on local tv. Hook’em!!!
  10. Won “two in a row” SB rings with the Broncos. Hook’em!!!
  11. I don’t think I could eat his pizza after I’ve known the crust has hit the grass, but I’d give it a bite, because he’s awesome! Hook’em!!!
  12. I was thinking surfing while a couple cold ones were already in me, thus Longboard Horn changed to Honolulu Horn over night. Both fit you and are cool, but sorry for the name mistake. Hook’em!!!
  13. My day is coming soon LTxfan and Honolulu Horn. I think 66 is next Wednesday? Dad is now 82 and I told him a couple years ago that I posted his picture on a Longhorn online fan board. He only responded with why? I didn’t do much. Hook’em!!!
  14. That is definitely a Top 10 Texas Football picture/image in my opinion that will last a lifetime. Sun Bowl - PH like Superman! Hook’em!!!
  15. Who is 87 for NC in that picture? If I remember right, that player went on to a lengthy NFL career. Just can’t think of his name. Hook’em!!!
  16. I was in HS during the late ‘80s. Always begged Dad for new Texas gear, which he’d get from Rooster’s. I’d see a dug out jacket that Gus wore and I wanted that! Christmas came and I got my Gus jacket, but the FB team was mediocre at best record wise. I loved watching Britt Hager play his LB position, but he was only one guy on the defense. HS sucked in SETX as I was surrounded by aggy, let alone family functions/holidays, with extended aggy family members. Texas never beat aggy when I was in HS, part of the Jackie Sherrill streak. It wasn’t until I was in West Germany that I listened to the Horns beat aggy ‘89 on AFN radio to end the streak. Hook’em!!!
  17. No but I’ve attend an OU sucks at Nebraska in the early ‘90s, stationed at Fort Sill and just a CFB fan. I then flew with the McNeese team to play NU in 2002. What a great experience and definitely worth the money spent. The Lincoln locals were so hospitable every where we went. McNeese was in the RZ in the waning minutes with the game on the line, and the sea of Red really became alive! Hook’em!!!
  18. But Dad loved Rooster, as we wouldn’t make a trip to Austin, FB season or not, without going to Rooster’s. I’ve stated on this site before that wanted a Campbell #34 Longhorn jersey. Earl wore 34 with the Oilers and that’s was I always saw. Both Dad and Rooster said that Earl wore 20 at UT, but I wanted 34 with Campbell on the back! Rooster told the staff in the back, make a 34 Campbell jersey, as that’s what the kid wants. i wish I had that jersey today (circa 78-79), as itd definitely be unique. Hook’em!!!
  19. He was (according to my Dad) so naturally strong back then. Rooster used to shutter the doors and breeze access and make them do plyometictics/isometrics underneath the West side. They really didn’t have weight training in the early ‘60s. Can you imagine pushing against a concrete wall, while a little man (Rooster) is hollering at you that you’re not pushing enough? Let alone Rooster would crank up the heat! All under the West side - according to my Dad who got to share the experience. Hook’em!!’
  20. I like you and your contributions SA, but that quote is pretty harsh. I knew JB when he was a teen in BMT. Hookem!!’
  21. I remember how great Priest Holmes was in his NFL career, but rarely remember his time on The 40. I just remember saying back then that we had “that” in our backfield and didn’t really use his to his ability. Hook’em!!!
  22. Honorary “Burnt Ends” player? They may set his pre-snap position really close to a Tackle L/R, so damned near a Tight End position. It’s all Sark’s Madness going forward! I look forward to sitting back and watching. Hook’em!!!
  23. You are correct Sir. Two Barber brothers that both had lengthy NFL careers. Hook’em!!!
  24. That’s exactly how my Dad and I had done the ‘95 Virginia (Phil Dawson) game vs The Babers Brothers. We knew the kick was straight enough, but it was into a stiff wind. Hook’em!!!
  25. Thanks for sharing the article Army Brat. Hook’em!!!
