Those hits on Tatum and the Broncos guy ... just fucking brutal.

What a load of shit.  Earl dealt more punishment as a running back than most linebackers.

Yeah, Riggins ahead of Earl is complete nonsense.

How many MVPs did Riggins win?

I remember going to (I think) the first home game of Earl's freshman year.  He didn't start, but they put him in.  Recruiting wasn't followed back then like it is now (or at least I didn't follow it).

I asked one of the guys in our group if they knew anything about him.  Answered with kind of a shrug, "I've heard he supposed to be good."

Biggest understatement of all eternity.

This is fucking bad ass. Much like Earl.  Before my time but the old man would light up when talking about him. Kinda like me telling my girls about Vince.

Earl

Colt

Major

 

I remember watching the Horns/Aggie game on NTV his Sr. season, followed him a bit when with the Oilers and cheered him on when not playing Dallas.  Enjoy his sausage.

Earl is the reason I was a longhorn fan as a kid

Yeah we moved here from Tennessee in '77. I was in 6th grade. Watching Earl wreck mfers that season turned my blood burnt orange for life.

Favorite Longhorn. Met him once. 

Later I was waiting tables at Jazz on 6th. Earl's sausage company office was upstairs. Earl would come in after our lunch rush and sit at the bar to eat lunch. Nobody in the place but Earl & all of us who worked there. He would chat us up all the time & was easily the most laid-back, chill pro athlete I've ever met & as nice a guy as you could ever hope to meet.

Walter Payton is a grown ass man, and Earl just dwarfs him.

Favorite Longhorn -- nope, favorite football player, period -- of all time.

You misspelt ‘football player.’

I'll never forget my favorite Horn Ricky Williams changing his number to pay tribute to a legend en route to a Heisman season.

Said this before, but the pantheon at Texas is Earl and Tommy, and this is at a place that has had absolute "gods" play. But any discussion has to begin with these two. Now, if you want to continue then you better start with a guy named Bobby . . .
