So if you think the workouts are hard now, consider the olden days:
(from the pasted article on Mike Dean, OG #66, 1968-70)

"He was simply trying to survive the hardest two-a-days of his life in 1968.

The players worked hard and bonded with one another during those grueling summer practices, which created a sense of 'not wanting to let your brothers down,' Dean said.

In all, 42 athletes quit before the end of the camp, Dean said, which opened the door to him being a starting offensive guard."

 

Running late today, been busy.

Thanks, I appreciate your comment. This thread is my favorite of the year. Even more so than the February recruiting posts.
Today’s pic is from Bleacher Report. Yesterday’s from the NYT. The Texas Legacy Support Network is a great historical website and a goldmine for pictures.
