How did you get to be called "Cotton?"
When I was born I had white hair, and I grew up in Brownsville. My mothers' family, who was from Illinois, wanted to name me "Frosty." Being in the valley, it stuck as "Cotton." Again, thank God it wasn't "Frosty." That's really how I got it. I had white hair when I was young.

87 DAYS!!

Went looking for video or more pictures of Sampleton #87, and found this gem narrated by the famous NFL voice "John Facenda"

 THE PRIDE OF TEXAS   

From the 1981 season, this University of Texas promotional film includes several player interviews including Kenneth Sims, Donnie Little, Doug Dawson, Bruce Scholtz and others.  

Earl Campbell, Fred Akers, and Barbara Jordan interviews are also included.  

Video highlights of the 1981 Texas blOU win and 1982 Cotton Bowl victory vs Bama are included in the 2nd half of this video.

Sampleton #87  appears several times, two good glimpses are at 20:09 and 22:13 marks. Then Sampleton shows up in 1982 Cotton Bowl clips with two catches starting at 25:30 mark.

Hook 'em 🤘
