Let's play a game. Let's look at the first two years for various coaches who are/were considered some of the best coaches around.... Coach 1: 76-46 | Regional, Super Regional Coach 2: 85-35 | Two Regional Appearances Coach 3: 80-46 | Regional, CWS Appearance, Won Conference Coach 4: 72-47 | One Super Regional Appearance Coach 5: 69-48 | One Regional Appearance Coach 6: 82-47 | CWS Final Four, Regional Appearance, Won Division (but not conference) Coach 7: 52-54-1 | No postseason appearances Coach 8: 90-29 | Regional Appearance, CWS Appearance, Won Conference Coach 9: 72-48 | CWS appearance Coach 10: 71-48 | Regional Appearance Any guesses on which coaches these are? And based off those first two years of accomplishments, who would you want the most?

Hot take: Sales commits to Indiana. Royal folds under the in-state, LSU, pressure. Texas circles back and flips Sales later in the cycle. 🤘🏻🤘🏻

That shot of Royal in his brick walled corner office with metal filing cabinets says it all about him and his era. That time will never come again. 🤘🏻🤘🏼🤘🤘🏽🤘🏾🤘🏿

The "sissy" flopping is out of control especially on some of the South American teams. Wish they would yellow flag some of that stuff, especially when a guy is "dying" and then all of a sudden gets up with no aftereffects.

Are any of the DKR and Cactus Pryor weekly shows on YouTube? They would start off with a brief introduction to the last game then Coach Royal would turn to the camera and from then on it was like he was there speaking to you alone. It was truly magic what he could do. Tom Herman could have learned a lot by watching those old half hour shows.

Id be raisin' Kane if that happened to me

They're not as sure now

Small nitpick: There is no period after the K. Well, there was there, but that's because my sentence was ending.

That I get. But no one knows exactly when it ends or how folks are notified when there’s extra time added during extra time.

YES. Them be the ones......

The one run by the guy who never leaves his house? Or the one who should never leave his house (ie impaired driver)?

Born July 6, 1924. At the age of 32, Darrell Royal came to the University of Texas campus with a folksy sense of humor and an innovative style of football that produced almost instant success and the lifelong respect and affection of Longhorn fans throughout the world. In Royal’s second year at Texas, the Longhorns played in their first of what would be 16 bowl games over the next 20 years; three for national championships. In 23 years as head coach, he never had a losing season. The Longhorns finished in the top 10 nationally during 11 of those seasons. In 1962, Royal assumed the dual role of Athletics Director and head football coach at the University of Texas. He retired from coaching in 1976 to concentrate on his duties as Athletic Director. Royal hired the nation’s first academic counselor. During his coaching years, four out of five men who lettered for Royal went on to earn their degrees. Darrell Royal’s honors include membership in both the Texas and Oklahoma Sports Halls of Fame and in the Longhorn Hall of Honor. He was twice named Coach of the Year by the American Football Coaches and three times by the Football Writers of America.

Here's more great symmetry @Gerry Hamilton. 9 June 1985 was the date the Lakers defeated the Celtics in Boston Garden to win the 1985 title. 9 June 1996 was the date of the greatest draft workout in the history of the world at Inglewood YMCA.
