100 day countdown

40 was the key to serving him up for Stoney

was there that day: total glee in Hornland

 

Loyd Wainscott, no. 55. From La Marque HS. Two-time all SWC lineman, '67 and '68 teams.

 

Sorry I’m late, people. Busy day.

A player from my time on campus: Amarillo’s Rick Fenlaw draws a bead on Elvis Peacock (behind Odessa Permian’s Joe Bob Bizzell) in a 13-16 loss to OU in 1975. Shown also are OU’s Joe Washington (sans helmet) blocking Bizzell. Steve Davis looks on.
As you LHN guys know from a number of Texas-Arkansas replays, Fenlaw was the defensive MVP in DKR’s last game in 1976, when he was a team co-captain.

 

#54 Mike Baab

 

Russel Gaskamp, Weatherford OK

It is a pleasure when we pick up a good one from Indian Territory.

 

#40 was Robert Reid, from Converse Judson.

 

#53 Bill Acker

 

Thanks. I had forgotten his name - but he certainly was the key to that tackle by Clark. If he gets suckered in on the reverse and leaves his spot, ou scores easily. Reid stayed at home and turned the RB back to the inside where Clark could make the hit.

 

Don Menasco, Longview.

Shown here as Andy Kozar scores the winning touchdown in a 14-20 loss to Tennessee in the ‘51 Cotton Bowl.
AA defensive end in 1950. Played for the Giants and Redskins in the league.

 

#53 Jak Holbrook

 

Another photo of Don Menasco, no. 53.

 

My seat was on the 2 yard line about 40 rows up. I had a perfect view of the play. One of my 3 favorite UT plays of all time.

 

Agree. I rank it up there with "He's going for the corner - he's got it" and "Right 53 Veer Pass."

 

Roll left

 

That's a perfect example of why football is the ultimate team sport.

 

Forrest Wiegand, no. 52. An iconic photo from the "Big Shootout".

 

#52 Charlie Tanner

 

Stan Thomas, no. 51 Offensive Tackle.

 

Nobody drank enough that day

 

#50 David McWilliams

I love this photo is so many ways!!

 

#50 Bobby Wuensch - OT

 

Worst
Great pic of David and DKR

 

Bill Wyman, Spring Branch HS

Consensus AA 1973. Yet another gone too soon @61 years.

 

Ricky's run for record against A$M as Tony Dorsett runs down the sidelines with him cheering Ricky on. Great play commentary by Brett Musberger???

 

Bobby Wuensch was so much fun to watch play.
That guy was a devastating blocker.

 

"These are workclothes.... we're not going to candy this thing up!"

 

As much as Musberger drove me batty, that was a good call.
Tuckers adios MFer kick in Kyle Field to end the series is still one of my favorites.
Like a movie script- the Ags score late and were busy doing one of the 542 movements they do.. thumbs up, waving towels, that weird hand clasp index finger point, interlocking pelvises and swaying.. planning to get drunk at the Dixie Chicken, saying Howdy or Whoop to each other, or whatever-
Case sets it up. Tucker nails it. I had tears in my eyes watching those Ags blot theirs as well with those lil white hankeys. No Howdys, no swaying, hands no longer pointing just excuses.

 

Picture book block for the winning touchdown in the 1970 Cotton Bowl - Bobby Wuensch, no. 50.

 

Opened the door for RB Billy Dale to score the winning TD that beat the lowly Irish 21-17. Jan 1, 1970... I was there and CELEBRATED with many fans I did not know!!!

 

ALLSOME - DE # 49 Aaron Humphrey in the on deck circle for Sat.....a fav of mine.
