100 Days til Kickoff!

#8 Rob Moerschell

 

They're getting excited. Only one week to go.

 

Here's another one. Pretty cool - swan dive off the upper deck.

 

#7 Michael Huff

 

WR Brent Duhon, 1983

 

A couple more of the Huffinator

 

Sam Ansley (with a guy who will be mentioned tomorrow).

​

Cy Fair HS. Filled in nicely during the 1977 title run, going 2-0 as a starter. You younger guys may not remember this but we went through a lot of quarterbacks that year.
His torn jersey in the TCU game led to the legendary Ricky Churchman/Ham Jones instant touchdown play.

 

Hideo,
Out of morbid curiosity, what number did Ted Bundy once wear?

 

Oh, and in your opinion, was it a better or worse number than Ray Rice's?

 

Too soon

 

#6 Quan Cosby

 

#6 Quandre Diggs

 

#6 Case McCoy

 

Randy McEachern

​

J. Frank Dobie HS
October 8, 1977 he turned a pretty bad day into one of my best. I read recently he almost didn’t make the traveling squad that day. Kids who are contemplating the transfer portal need to be told his story.

 

Dobie High ... Longhorns!

 

Quentin Jammer #6 CB
Met him in Sugarland before. Nice guy.


Here is his younger cousin, Quandre Diggs #6 CB
I am pretty partial to Defensive Backs. What can I say?

 

Correction: Quandre is half brothers with Quentin Jammer, my bad.

 

Billy Pittman TOUCHDOWN!!

 

Craig Curry, along with a host of other Longhorns.

I know, I know!

But, Craig Curry.

 

I'm too young to remember Donnie Little, I was a kid then. But this guy was my favorite dual threat QB. He and Ricky brought us back to prominence and made me want to be a super fan again. It didn't end well for him in 97' but that was probably more about Mackovic than James Brown I am pretty sure of that.
James Brown #5 QB

 

Tarrell Brown, Mesquite, TX......

​

...... at the low point of most people’s evening (my low point was when I woke up about 1:30am after falling asleep in the first quarter). He broke his arm on this play; perceived at the time as the coup de grace in our natty hopes that evening.
Things got better.

 

#5 Chance Mock

 

YOU FELL ASLEEP DURING THIS GAME WHAAAT?

 

TEXAS vs. ou 1984... GAWD what a MISERABLE game that was to sit through and final outcome... 15-15 tie.

 

Yes.
I debated whether to include that shameful part of my personal history. The alarm went off @ 4:30am those days and the rum shot I took after Aaron Ross’ fumble made dozing off a fait accompli. My wife knows to give me a wide berth during football season, so (not realizing I was asleep) she was no help either.
The irony to all of this is when I saw the score on the crawler shortly after waking up, I was awake the rest of the night. I think the lesson plan for Tuesday, January 7 in my class was extended magazine time and videos (the kids were more than willing to give up the lesson on the Hawley-Smoot Tariff).

 

James Brown - "Are you guys still here? I thought you’d given up and gone home by now"

First play of our second series against OU

 

#5 Happy Feller (aftermath of what is probably the most important PAT in UT history)

 

Tony Jones with the game winner against the pigs, Oct. 17, 1987

 

Roy Williams #4 WR
A pretty good un!
