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.

No one runs man all the time. He’s 70 years old so at best he was a short term solution. His heyday was in a different era that was not predominantly 3-3-5 or 4-2-5. What 15-20 years ago? Defenses have evolved a great deal. From what I see, Arizona was 103 in DFEI in 2024. 14th in 2025. Without looking it up, Stanford wasn’t worth much during his tenure. A dude doesn’t get run after a year of there weren’t signs leading into it. Texas and money. Odd choice.

Basically saying "We feel really good, but ya never know!" So covering themselves just in case it does go wrong and they can say that they warned everyone. Term used in betting a lot where you will hedge a bet with a smaller amount just in case so you don't lose entirely.
