    Cactus and DKR   5.jpg In the 1990s media personality, Cactus Pryor asked Royal about losing to OU his first year at Texas. DKR responded with a quote from Oliver Wendell Holmes “as I look back on the days of my life I appreciated my defeats more than my victories because I have learned more from my losses. DKR then said “well, I’ve been thinking about those words “ ( from Oliver Wendell Holmes) “and I’d just like to say, ‘screw Oliver Wendell Holmes.”

    DKR from 1976 on when he was going go retire:

    Royal will deny it, but this is what he said about retiring. “Long as I got the jelly rolling and the barracudas don’t smell it, I’m gonna fill my platter with white meat. The day it gets down to necks and gizzards, that’s the day you can kiss ol’ Darrell’s *** goodbye.”
