100 Day Countdown to Kickoff

Incredible athlete. This guy could have been an Olympian and possibly medaled has he chosen to concentrate on track.
An assistant coach at Splendora told me he once convinced the head coach to line him up at tailback in a district game. The first time he touched the ball he ran 40 yards for a score. Not sure if he played tailback much after that.
Eleven years in the league.

 

Roddrick Muckellroy #38

 

Played for the Vikings IIRC.

 

#38 - LB Glen Gaspard from Winnie Texas. Look at the price of DC Texas Football in July 1973 !!

 

# 37 - RB & DE - BIG Henry Shelton, errrr Melton!

 

# 36 Lamar Houston before he changed to # 33

 

Jacoby Jones #36

 

# 35 - RB - Jim Bertelsen ... from Hudson Wisconsin. Played for LA Rams for a number of years.

 

You thought I was joking.

 

Saw the game after taking a red-eye from Taipei to LA and then another red-eye to Houston.

 

#34 .... in the on deck circle for Sat. .... have the Horns had anyone decent wearing that # in the last 50 years!?

 

Not sure, but here’s the bigger question. Have we had any players wear negative numbers? Because we may have to do that. LOL.

 

#34 Ricky Williams

 

Oh yeah, I remember THAT #34... he was decent!

 

^He had an acceptable career at Texas.

 

Texas tornado!

 

Ray Poage, Houston Lamar HS....

​

... shown here in a 13-0 Cotton Bowl loss to LSU, Texas’ only loss that season (a 14-all tie with Rice being their only other blemish).
All-SWC, All-American 1962.
Eight years in the league.

 

#33 Gary Johnson, LB

 

#33 Steve Edmond

 

#32 Malcolm Roach, DE

 

#32 "El Ced" Cedric Benson, RB

 

That is not LSU.

 

Those uniforms look like what Ole' Miss wore.

 

As to that, I’m sure you’re right.
As for today, Tim Doerr from Cleburne HS.

​

... vs. Arkansas’ Jon Brittenum in 1963. His interception late in the game sealed a 17-13 victory.

 

Dayum Hideo Gump!

You come up with so many ALLSOME old Horns football photos I've never seen! Give us your secret source!

 

My favourite DB of all time, Aaron Ross #31

 

Kiki DeAyala.


AA in 1982. 40.5 sacks in his career with 22.5 in 1982 alone. Though not as physically gifted as Rak, Crowder, Robison or others on the forty, arguably the best defensive end ever to wear a Longhorn uni.
Thoughts?

 

Who else?

#30 - RB - All-American Fullback in the Wishbone: Steve Worster

 

I did an internet search on Ray, and found out he died at the age of 56.
The only thing I could find was that he died a tragic death in 1997.
Anybody know the cause of death? 56 is pretty young.
