100 Day Countdown to Kickoff

I'm thinking Spring Season may just be a realistic compromise. Scheduling might be really hard, though...

 

# 56 - Center Zach Shackleford:

 

... and does not sit well with me.

It unfortunately portends of an uncertain season.

 

Dominique Espinosa #55
Please..... if we lose the season to COVID I’ll be getting chased by dogs on some kind of 3 wheeler dragging raw steaks!!

 

Sorry for avoiding this thread and watching you do all the work. My attitude about the program has not been right. As to that:

​

Gladewater, Texas’ Stonie Clark.
Team captain 1995, principle author of SI’s Defensive Play of the Year in 1994 (you might remember the play).

 

#55 Stonie Clark - 4th and Goal at the Texas 1 yard line - Clark's game saving hit on OU back sealed the Texas victory.

 

Can’t post a photo, but if the old brain is working. Wasn’t Lloyd Wainscot. #55?

 

La Marque Tigers. All-American. Hall of Honor 2000.

​

 

Good job on #55 today ya'll

I've been busy doing my tax return and my 90 year old mothers return much of the day. Turbo Tax has been my trusted friend for many years.

 

That's great Worster! The Turbo Tax for individual 1040 returns is a good product!

 

#54 Mike Baab.

​

Euless Trinity.
Team captain.
All-Conference.
11 years in the league.

​

...shown here in the 1951 Cotton Bowl.
Longview, All-American defensive end.

 

HG - wow, I've never seen that photo before. Nice. How / where did you find that one!? I think that is UT vs. Tenn. in the CB.

 

That’s an affirm, Worster. It’s a cropped foto of Andy Kozar scoring the winning touchdown in the Horns 20-14 loss in the 51 CB.
It took a while going through all the NY Giants stuff in a DuckDuckGo search, but a ways down the page you’ll come across

1951 Cotton Bowl: Tennessee 20, Texas 14​

 

# 52 Center - Forrest Wiegand

 

#52 Samuel Cosmi

 

Mike Reuther says “hello”

 

I was there watchin Wright in person. As DKR would say, " Like a Grizzley Bear Haulin a Walnut"!

 

They looked like bowling pins when struck just off the headpin. Not good!

 

One of the best Texas DTs of all time. My OU friend said that OUs Greg Roberts handled him in the Cotton Bowl. I retorted, " Maybe so, but Steve was on the D Line of the fabled Bears 46 Defense, and he's got a Super Bowl Ring"! So there LOL

 

Calling Desperado!!
