For those going up to Lubbock, if you get the chance, run over to Woolforth and get yourself a Dixie Dog. Incredible weiner goodness in a deep fried flour based batter. While there, pause and reflect on all of David Thomas' contributions to the Horns. DT played at Woolforth HS.
I submit that we very likely would not have won the Rose Bowl without David Thomas. Sure, VY was 30-of-40 passing, with 10 of those to David Thomas. But some of the throws required super-human effort by the TE. Clutch -- CLUTCH -- catches, and then fighting for the first down. Yep, he was a key to the game, for sure.
