Hall Of Honor Note

[Purplehorn3]

It did my heart good to see Lawrence Sampleton inducted last night.

Lawrence played for my father in Seguin but before that he was my mother’s favorite students in class.  Whenever we went to Texas games, we always made sure to say “Hi” to Lawrence.

great athlete, but a better man!

And a great Longhorn. I'll never forget the Cotton Bowl win over Alabama.

My brother was on that team.  Keep in mind Lawerence was a local hero to us boys who grew up in Seguin, so having the chance to be on the field with on of your heroes was a great opportunity.  He also go to share the field with Terry Orr, who he had played against when we lived in Midland.

Three things I recall about that game was watching Bear Bryant during the pregame warmups. He walked down the tunnel and made it as far as the goalposts where stayed during warmups leaning against the post. I was sitting in the home side upper deck about 6 feet from Denver Pyle who was dressed as Uncle Jesse. There was a very large human from Alabama in the men's room that was talking about Texas steers with no balls.
