5 Days Until Kickoff — Who’s Your Favorite No. 5?

[Blake Munroe]

We are down to just five days before Texas vs. Ohio State in the season opener. 

Who is your favorite Longhorn to wear No. 5?

Some options today include…

Bijan Robinson

 

Adonai Mitchell

 

James Brown

 

Malik Muhammad 

[James Littleton, Jr.]

Billy Pittman who had his breakout game against Ohio State, at Ohio State, with 5 catches for 132 yards, and 1 touchdown.

Then also having the iconic touchdown against Oklahoma when he marched into the end zone while holding finger up in the #1 position.

This is another tough one but I’m going with Bijan.

Great call.
 

I got a BP/Nate Jones/Limas Sweed autographed picture from ‘05 behind me when I do Coffee and Football.

It's gotta be Bijan.  What an incredible player and even better man.  Couldn't think of a better ambassador for our school.

It’s crazy to me that we are at 5 days. I remember starting this at 99 and here we are…. Wild.

So glad it is here.  Can't imagine how tough it has been for you guys trying to come up with new topics every day.  Let the new season begin!

Let’s just hope these 5 days go by fast.

Man I imagine what a guy like Bijan would look like in a 2023-2024 version of Texas, probably helps get us over the hump, imo. He's probably the first guy most of us are going to think of but plenty of great #5's at Texas.

We would have been unbelievable. Without the fumbles, could have beaten Washington in the semi-final and could have ground it out against Michigan.

Likely beat OU earlier in the year too by just handing it off and not suffering the two early, weird interceptions.

Going Bijan here with a nice nod to James Brown for the Big 12 title over Nebraska!
