Earl Campbell: the human wrecking ball

[Machinator 32097]

Took way too long to have a proper thread for him on OG Shaggy. Let's not repeat that mistake.

[The Earl of Texas 3131]

My favorite Longhorn ever

[Bigbend1812 12887]

That’s a fucking man.  Who are the 2 ahead of him?  Brown and ?

‘Lectric Leland, of course. 

[PRONG HORN 3107]

Brown and Bettis I think.

[Noah Fence 480]

1. Jim Brown

2. John Riggins

3. Earl Campbell

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

Yeah, Riggins ahead of Earl is complete nonsense.

[BevoFlyer 15]

I approve of this thread. 

[Jomac0928 76]

The greatest touchdown run. Ever!

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

[buffalobill989 167]

[HouTex 1850]

Love the goal line hit against Tatum.  I was lucky to be at that game.

[ruitxn 295]

Hero

[77horn 216]

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. 

[Born Burnt 6147]

I found his wallet on campus once.

 

[High Plains Drifter 10976]

Sorry for the shitty music. Watch on Mute.

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.

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.

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. 

[Reese Bennett 3605]

Still the best football player I’ve ever seen.

[Machinator 32097]

Happy birthday to one of the best to ever play the game.

[Machinator 32097]

 

[Jomac0928 76]

Happy birthday to a true Texas legend.

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

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

[Goofyboy 3203]

Earl is a great guy. Super nice as well.

You misspelt ‘football player.’

[Chad 1728]

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

[ausjala 101]

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 . . .

[RedDirtTexan 209]

Earl Campbell is Texas Football

[tbone_ 14021]

Luckily for Earl Mack told him he's still welcome on the 40.
