100 day countdown - 2022 version

I remember the brackens hit. It was right in front of me. Kicker got hit so hard his great grandparents felt it.

 

#60 is stepping into the on-deck circle for Monday....

 

You got all your Brian Jones photos lined up already?

 

Some kid named Tommy

 

I did have, and I burned them the day David let him wear #60

 

Jeff Leiding also....

# 60 LB - the late Tommy Nobis

 

# 60 LB - Jeff Leiding.

 

# 60 LB - Britt Hager

 

I wore (with pride) #60 in HS. I wasn't quite the badazz Tommy was (as indicated by my dirth of FB Scholy offers).

 

How about a little 4th of July Horn fan Eye Candy?

 

I was really concerned that the kicker’s neck might be broken. I would be surprised that, even now, many years later, that kicker doesn’t still suffer some after effects of the hit.

 

To me there has never been a defensive player as impactful as Nobis. Perhaps not even close. Sure, for a game or two…

We have been waiting over a half century for the next Tommy Nobis.

 

Johnny Treadwell

 

So, brother and sister HF's, I got no saved photos and my duck-duck-go search got NO #59's for the Horns, so I am reaching out like for a lifeline for #59 on Tuesday.....

Can you pity & help a HF brother in need?

 

Sorry, I should have remembered JT.

He certainly was a UT WARRIOR that wore #60!!!

 

I was at that game. Brutal. I felt for the guy.

 

I'm either unable or just don't how to post photos from my phone but do a search for Rick Burleson. Back when I participated in this thread I used him several times.

 

thanks - I cant post up photos with my phone either. I did a search on 2 different browsers, but could not locate a photo of Rick, but I will recognize him with this post.

#59 DT - Rick Burleson

 

Sorry, this is the best I can do. I searched for the last 30 minutes and could find nothing. Even spent about 15 minutes specifically on Rick Burleson. One of the best players on a mediocre 1976 5-5-1 team. He was drafted by the Kansas City Chiefs in 1977 in the 6th round. I found references to him everywhere but never found a picture.

 

I couldn't find a pic, but I did find this grainy video. You can see Rick in action at the 1:50 mark of this video vs Tech in 1976.

 

#58

 

Rick Burleson #59 1976?

 

Yes, 76 Tech game was in Lubbutock!

Thanks, remember the photo but could not find.

Hook 'em!!!
