southpaw Posted Thursday at 03:21 PM Share Posted Thursday at 03:21 PM Loved the athlete, competitor, and human that was James Street. But also loved the backfield of Street, Steve Worster, Ted Koy, and Jim Bertelsen. A few years later my favorite Longhorn to watch/look at was Farrah Fawcett. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tito Bonilla Posted Thursday at 05:22 PM Share Posted Thursday at 05:22 PM Ricky Williams for sure; I didn’t become a college football fan until my older brother left the home and became a Texas Longhorn. James Brown was fun to watch as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I grew up in Baton Rouge, so I did grow up a die hard Lsu fan, but that changed the second I committed to Texas 🤘🏽 Ha. I also grew up as an LSU fan, though in Houston. Everyone in my family who went to college before me went to LSU. Still my second favorite team. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still my second favorite team. my dad, wife and a ton of friends went there. 2019 sucked for me but i thought we would get them back in 2020. I do think we will play at Lsu in 2026 for an Arch homecoming. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
