BR was such an incredible warrior on that 2005 Defense. I sometimes think he does not get enough credit for his contributions and work ethic. Went on to start / play very well for the Vikings and I think is now retired...
Great pic, and what a Cotton Bowl victory! On the field, Ole Miss was the Bama of that time period. (Not quite as dominant, but you get the picture…)
Nate Boyer is one of my all-time favorites - he shows what can be accomplished with determination and hard work.
Alex De La Torre, Denton. I utilized this guy a lot on my EA Sports game, but Mack wouldn’t listen to any of my suggestions.
Harold Philipp, Olney TX… … scores on a two-yard run in the third quarter of the ‘64 Cotton Bowl, securing the 1963 natty; at least in the eyes of Navy coach Wayne Hardin.
Hideo Gump, brother of Forrest. You clearly find a lot of allsome photos of Horns I have never seen in almost 60 years of following UT football !! I browse the Internet often for UT football players and I have never seen some of the photos you get! You get great some photos brother - what is your source???
Nothing complicated. Just DuckDuckGo. And Hideo Gump, Jr. is a Firesign Theater character. I’m a fan from way back. Texas Legacy Support Network is also a great website.
# 34 stepping into the on deck circle for Sunday .... Do the Horns have anyone worthy of posting up here? Asking for a friend.
California running back, right? Well obviously you mean: Darron Norris (Oceanside HS, El Camino CA) on a beautiful 1985 New Years Eve during a horrendously bad Bluebonnet Bowl. Things didn’t get much better my next time in Rice Stadium in 1994.
D’Onta Foreman, Texas City. AA 2016. The “other” Foreman brother recruited by Charlie in 2014. Broke a nine-year drought by becoming the first ‘Horn to rush for over a thousand since Jamaal in 2007. Rushed for 2,028 yards and 28 touchdowns that year as a junior winning the Doak Walker Award. Tied with Earl for the most 100 yard games in a season (11). Ninth on the list for career rushing yards on the 40. There are two backs in Longhorn history who have eclipsed 2K yards in a season; one being Ricky in 1998 and the other being D’Onta in 16. Considering the team he played on in 2016 (5-7 record), that’s an amazing accomplishment.
