This thread needs to be pinned during the heat of the season

Hank, Great topic. My most impactful game was one where I was actually at another university - yes, college station 🫤. 1974. It was bitterly cold, blustery day at Memorial - the Goodyear blimp was roaring above, fighting the norther that had blown in. In a matter of minutes the #8 aggy squad furkcoastered to a 17-0 deficit, thanks to 3 fumbles. Then this freshman kid from Tyler ran all over them, finishing a 32-3 shellacking by the Longhorns. I was at the 40 acres the following year at the College of Pharmacy. Never looked back.🤘

I believe he’s still in the Texas City area, my daughter goes to school with his daughter. I know him and D’Onta own a trucking company they started with there dad so possibly something to do with that.

You’re either with us or against us. Personally, I don’t care one way or the other once they leave Texas. The current Texas roster is full of opportunities to write about. 🤘🏻

Do y’all know where Armanti now?

The Big 12 and its carnival barker commissioner is a cute little minor league. B

I think people took some of his mistakes and just ran with it. He was a shining light in a tough period for Texas football.

The most underappreciated 2k yd rusher in history. Wish him nothing by good things.

Foreman twins were crazy recruiting story. Armanti is super hyped recruiting battle with OU and then becomes a decent but generally forgettable player at this level. D'Onta was supposed to be the bench warmer that was only offered because of his brother, but then the second he stepped on the field as a true freshman it was "wait a minute now this dude is a beast out there" and next thing you know he runs for 2k yards and heads off early to the NFL. Can anyone think of any other examples of brothers that went down like that?

I am pretty sure I was at that game. If I remember correctly, Rice arm side DE got the edge, popped Vince in the chest, VY slapped his head into the dirt after taking 2 steps back and took off for Positive yardage. But sometimes I mix my VY folklore.

@BayAreaLonghorn, thanks for posting. Hook em

Unbelievable. It was clearly a strike.

Not new but: my grandpa took me to the 91 cotton bowl. Miami beat the brakes off of us. He owned the feed store and fertilizer distributorship in our east Texas town. By all accounts we should be Aggies and most of his customers were full blown Ags. When our guys ran out of the tunnel in the cotton bowl, he looked at me and said,” Don’t get better than this.” I was hooked then and there then got both my undergrad and grad degree from McCombs. I Miss him everyday and glad he took me to that game.

Him muttering "yeah baby" with the fist pump is epic! lol

Classic. Wonder where that ref is today?!?

Fun comparison on Golf programs NCAA trip streaks from the Bryan Regional Texas clinched their 19th straight trip Texas a&m clinched their 5th straight trip Chattanooga clinched their 4th trip EVER UNC clinched their 8th trip in 9 years Tennessee clinched their 3rd straight trip

Crazy and sad

Mine was ‘95 10 years old watching James Brown vs Tech I believe it was.

You forgot the best part of that Limas Sweed catch. The ref fist pump! BTW...Freshman year at Texas. Stonewalling aggy on two point conversion at home to win the game and conference on game ending play, "Shock the Nation" tour 1990. We stormed the field after it ended.

I would be interested in a compare and contrast of this Sark offense versus his prior college offenses including Bama, USC, and Washington. Based on what you think you know about the various pieces, what prior college offense do you think this team most resembles from an individual talent and anticipated style of play perspective. The second question does NOT need to be somehow contorted into a prior Texas team comparison, feel free to cast a wider net.

I couldn’t sleep either after getting back to the hotel. Watched every report on the tv about the game. It was so surreal!

His play on the field was such a bright spot in very dark times for university of texas football
