New feature to DKR that I hinted at last week. A major video board was added to the outside of the southwest corner of DKR. I would assume this will add some flair to the Bevo Blvd pregame.

Hey that's me!!

Also: 🤘

Fortunately I had enough data to put together a Top 15 fan vote. That's awesome. It will debut tomorrow, along with our Top 25 Longhorns of the Modern Era.

@Matthew Hutcheson not agreeing with the 1992 cutoff

Johnny Lam Jones was one of the first Texas players I remember by name from seeing a game on tv, after Earl... I believe he was only like 18 when he won that gold medal too... Also, IIRC, he was Lam, short for Lampasses. There was also Ham, which was short for Hamlin TX, and a 3rd Jones, Royal called Jam, just because it rhymed with/ Lam and Ham, but Lam was the man... 🤘

Some other factoids to consider before I release this tomorrow: Cedric beats Bijan for No. xxx despite appearing on five fewer ballots. Michael Huff beats Casey Hampton by ONE POINT: 226 to 225. Earl Thomas is only five points behind Hampton. The worst rating VY received was No. 4. One person voted Quinn Ewers No. 1. Three people put Earl Campbell in their top 10, despite him playing many years before the start date of this poll.

KB over Bijan’s a choice!

Unfortunately Bill passed away last year. He came to our tailgate several times. @General Grant

Dylan Haines?

Just FYI... I excluded four responses from individual ranking slots because they couldn't be scored cleanly: Kevin Durant, “DBU Members,” “Ricky Williams & Colt McCoy” in one slot, and “Bijan & ROJO best RB and leadership duo” in one slot.

Thanks for all the private messages on Bill guys, and all of you doing searches. Big loss. I was shown a really nice post/thread on IT by Joe Cook about Bill, but since I don't belong there any longer I didn't see it when it came out back in the early spring. I want to leave this message/prayer: If you know someone hurting, tell them to reach out to their loved ones and friends that love them. Also, reach out to your friends and loved ones more often than not. Tell them you love them and you are always there for them no matter what.

Voting will now be closed. Thank you all for your submissions. Hundreds of votes are amazing. Great set of data points.

I know, but still.

Love the quote by DKR. I had not read that quote before, so thanks for sharing!

A couple of good choices, but for me I’ll go with Jones. I remember watching him as a teen! Also, as mentioned, All-SWC, All-American and Olympic gold medalist, that puts him up there!

Come on, you knew he was going to give a coachspeak answer on that 5 days into camp.

Sarkisian says he is starting to hear more and more from Derek Williams in the safety room. Mentioned Jonah Williams as well. Sark says it is a prerequisite for his safeties to speak — and that comes from Muschamp. The practice in DKR had crowd noise cranked all the way up, with emphasis on signals, as well as vocal comms.

I'm a huge Ty'Anthony Smith fan from covering him during his recruitment but hard to not go with Tre Wisner (who later switched to No. 5). The rival killer will be missed. Also worth mentioning I'm 23 years old and didn't get to see a lot of other 26s who will be brought up

Aha!

Sark compares Cam Coleman to Julio Jones.
