Paul Moriarty pulled this off in the late 80s.  As he liked to say at the time, he used to bleed burnt orange, now he pisses it.  Good guy, if not a bit misguided (obviously).

Also Joe Don Looney enrolled at Texas , failed out first semester with a Blutarskyesque GPA, then eventually ended up in Norman.  Never played a down at Texas as freshman couldn't play back then.

 

Looney lived an unbelievable life- first round draft pick, traded before even playing a pre-season game, a tour in Vietnam, lots of run-ins with the cops, discovering Hunduism, receiving a pardon from Reagan and ultimately dying in Terlingua in a motorcycle crash...

Moriarty passed away a few years ago.

Just now seeing this... FYI Paul passed away back in 2018 the last time I saw him was when we sat together at the 2015 game which was the lone Charlie Strong golden hat game.

He died suddenly shortly after the Ehlinger "Take the loss pussy" game which I missed because I was moving to Denver that day.

Looking back at that Arkansas game, where Card had nothing going, and Casey came in and commenced to put points on the board... I thought we might actually have  a QB who had at least some of "it".

I'm still not sure whether he's a dumbass or just using the wrong drugs. A lot of Surly shows serious dislike for him, but to me he's simply pathetic. Damn.
