    If that doesn't get to you, something is wrong with you. Root for all Longhorns in the league, but will follow him a little more after seeing that.

    Super Bill Bradley 18. Exceptional NFL career as a S for Philadelphia. SWC record holder for interceptions in a game vs aTm (4 on Turkey day 1968). That game was my first in person Longhorn game, and the day I decided I was going to UT. Got to visit in the locker room (different world back then) which was a thrill for a 15 year old.

    One article I saw had his fielding as being more advanced than his bat.

    Love that the cop grabs the SMU cheerleader rather than the jackwagon with the sword.

    The "never" thing is a little misleading. In the way back machine, the two polls were AP and UPI - so UPI not Coaches. I think we would've been first in both those polls in 1970

    Chris Gilbert was a fantastic player who is often overlooked. Both he and Charles had 3 great years, but want to keep Gilbert's memory alive.

    Graceson Littleton gets a lot of mention. Kobe Black, Wardell Mack or Warren Roberson stepping up at CB could push Guilbeau back to Star which in turn impacts S. Lots of moving parts.

    That play was insane. It should be an all-timer regardless of circumstances, but you throw in the magnitude of the game and it is off the charts, imo. Johnnie Johnson and Michael Griffin are my co #27's. Fantastic players, among the best in the history of DBU (Ray Clay is on deck.😉)

    I'll go with Phil Brown, but with an honorable mention to Joey Aboussie. Aboussie was a ferocious wishbone blocker (second only to Jim Bertelsen) and I have a soft spot for those guys. And yes Jeff, I have a soft spot for Ungar too! Having said all that, I hope in a couple of years that 29 is Graceson Littleton hands down.

    We wouldn't have beaten ND for the National Championship game 1/1/70 without Worster. He gained 155 of the toughest yards I've ever seen. Notre Dame was much larger than UT (with few exceptions), sitting right behind the Longhorn Band, I could see the punishment he took & overcame. One helluva a performance, quite memorable to me.

    Yah, safeties aren't typically drafted very high. If you think Taafe is a mid round guy, we and don't view him much differently. I read your post more as "Taafe is a spare" and I don't think he should be compared to top safeties.

    Priest Anthony Holmes 33. Injury-career at UT, but great post-season highlights in the 94 Sun Bowl and initial Big XII championship game in St. Louis. Terrific NFL career as UDFA for Baltimore and FA for the KC Chiefs.

    To be fair (I know), the cheating from Bud and Switzwer preceeded Castiglione. I thought he was very good for them, and consequently I'm really glad he is out of the picture now. They look like a total cluster now.

    I think Eric Winston played at Miami. He wanted to but his aggy parents wouldn't let him, so the compromise school was Miami.

    Ricky 37.

    Jim Bertelsen 35. RIP Blocked like a pulling guard.

    Feels like a done deal. FIFY 😀

    Maybe you should try watching our games. 😉

    Looked up Graham's wiki and 6 seems to be a big number for him. Six years in the league with the Lions, in which he had 6 picks and 6 fumble recoveries. Very good safety in the late 70's for the good guys.

    I thought Glenn Blackwood was terrible as a freshman, but that guy just kept getting better. He not only became a trusted DB for us, but as Henry James metions above he had a very nice NFL career.

    A lot of Sark's message reminds me of an updated version of former UCLA basketball Caoch John Wooden, and his pyramid of success. Coach Wooden was a great communicator, who was able to get his meesage through to his (admitedly great) players. It is not surprising to me that Coach Sark is having similar success, which I think is still in it's early stages.

    The O'Dowds, Tulo, and Juston still connected to the organization?

    BRob 39. No brainer there imo.

    Love hearing the SEC bagmen whine about money. Oh yeah, he told us he wasn't whining - during his whine.
  25. cochamps
    Not really. We have a zit or two, but I don't think toughness is it. If we could keep still on a FG attempt, we would have beaten Georgia for the SEC championship. Does anyone question their toughness?
