  1. Bobby...I was a Freshman at UT way back in the Fall Semester of 1972. I remember Keith Moreland getting media coverage as a promising QB on Coach DKR's football team. I think it was the last year that Division I football programs were required to maintain Freshman football teams because Freshmen weren't allowed to play varsity football. Please correct me if I'm wrong... happens more frequently these days! Hook 'Em!
  2. Thanks, Steven!!! I'm really old, so 2000-'02 doesn't seem that long ago to me. Maybe CDC can work ad agencies and get a really cool and funny TV and online ad thanking Michael for his contributions..."Dude, we're all Longhorns now!" Hook 'Em!
  3. No eligibility remaining for the future King of England, unfortunately. The Longhorns would be chuffed to welcome him because of his history with the Cricket Bat in hand... but alas, duty calls him. Hook 'Em! Cheerio!
  4. Thanks, Jeff! Several years ago I watched a replay of Texas at Nebraska when Mack took the Longhorns into Lincoln to play the Children of the Corn circa 1998. Back then, Nebraska was a CFB powerhouse and almost never lost at home. Texas played a physically tough, focused and motivated style of football and defeated Nebraska behind a great effort and performance by Ricky Williams. When the final gun sounded, the Longhorns had ended the Cornhuskers' 47- game home winning streak and the Nebraska home crowd gave Texas a standing ovation as the Longhorns left the field. Of course, the "Standing O" was a reflection of the arrogance of the Nebraska fans in those days, but it was also a recognition of what it took for a visiting team to beat Nebraska in their house. Thanks Mack! And Hook 'Em!
  5. Also known as "Venue Shopping." Hook 'Em!
  6. I understand it's probably not doable, but I'd like to see CDC demand any Texas home games played in August or September must be Night games or at least kickoffs at 7 or 7:30 pm. Hook 'Em!
  7. Gotta believe Mack is loving this! Thanks to Coach Sark for being a Class Act! VY Longhorns HOF & Arch future Longhorns HOF! Hook 'Em!
  8. My father died 38 years ago and it might as well have been last year. He was 62 and cancer claimed him quickly. He never went to college but he was a big Longhorns fan and he took me to several Texas games when I was a kid and at one point we attended 30 Texas -OU games together. I graduated from UT with Bachelor's and Master's degrees and those were special days for thfoe two of us. Our family had a tile placed on the plaza at the Ex Students Association facing up towards the West side of DKR in appreciation for him. I am so sorry for Grace Prenter and send her thoughts and prayers. She will always have the memory of her father and the memory of Coach Vic's exceptional gesture. The Eyes of Texas...
  9. It'll be a Burnt Orange eclipse. A rare and beautiful thing when the Heavens align perfectly! Future WR 1 x 2... Hook 'Em!
  10. Yes indeed...In Perpetuity!!!
  11. I was seated right behind the Longhorns bench at the old Texas Stadium. A bit too low for my taste, but I got to see how the players reacted to the play on the field. Too many turnovers and a little overconfidence. Texas should have won that game. I was living in Denver back then and my flight back was packed with CU fans and some were surprised they beat the Horns but I overheard a guy say "I've never seen so much Burnt Orange in my life and I hope I never see that much again!" Hook 'Em!
  12. Thanks for posting this!!! I just watched it here for the first time since the day of the game and the last one of the 500 or so times I viewed it later... What did I notice just now?! I saw that clean, wide- open pocket provided by the O-Line. Quinn always performed well when he was given protection and time to throw. That was excellent. Hook 'Em!
  13. CJ -- Thanks for posting this video of the Fightin' Texas Aggy Band marching into Kyle Field! There better not be any $MU cheerleaders on the field, BTW. Hook 'Em!
  14. Thanks so much for posting. I'm a UT Alum X2, a Longhorns fan since childhood and a Texas season ticket holder until I retired. I was sitting in the Cotton Bowl Stadium at the Texas -OU game when Marquise caught a touchdown pass as a Freshman and I remember thinking what a talented young man he was because he just made an outstanding play -- especially for a Freshman player. As I have gotten older in the past few years, I have been a caregiver for my late mother and my late brother. It is difficult and rewarding, but you don't talk about the difficult part -- because the rewarding part pays its own dividends. I didn't know this about Marquise, but I agree with 817 Boxing B and the comments by others. The man has a huge wonderful heart to go along with his football skills and World class speed. Wow. Just Wow. Hook 'Em!
