Tim Longoria Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 As a fan, it was James Brown and Ricky Williams for me. Once I started playing and became a tight end, it was all about Bo Scaife and David Thomas. Thomas had a hell of a game in the National Championship, and I still remember the play where he ran his route, slipped and fell, but still got up enough to make the catch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caver60 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Earl Campbell when I was too young to appreciate much about football. He made being a fan easy. Britt Hager when I was older and understood more. Watching him gut it out against A&M in those days, with 20 tackles in a game or more, was something. The #60 was magic and made me want to learn more about past Texas players. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texas4138 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 I have two…Earl Campbell, but he was already a Houston Oiler. He used to sign pictures at the Skoal table (HLS&R). Second was Eric Metcalf. I remember the magazine pictures with him on the front depicting his run for The Heisman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. I have a friend that went out with her once. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bourbasted Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 (edited) Like many others here, it was Metcalf for me. Grew up watching the Horns with my dad, but the first player I remember really standing out to me was Eric. Every time he touched the ball he was a threat to score. He was a hell of a long-jumper as well. Edited January 26 by bourbasted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven Conant Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 I agree with Southpaw. That backfield was amazing. Always expected them to make the play. A little off topic, but this play came to mind. Robin Sendlein covering a kick off for his first play as a freshman. He dove over the wall of three blockers making the tackle and separating his shoulder. Ran off the field with a big Hook'em on one arm and dragging the other arm behind him. You younger fans probably remember his son Lyle.
