I'm thrilled for him and your family! Brings moisture to this old guy/s eyes!

I agree. Everyone thinks about the great running backs on the '68 & '69 teams. However, the wishbone wasn't performing Bill Bradley. Street comes in & the Horns don't lose again for any of his starts. He was also a starting pitcher on the baseball. Don't forget Bradley had a long NFL career as a safety. He was one of our last 2 way players.

All these guys have talent. It comes down to that inner drive. We have multiple examples of players "growing up". For example, look at the D line draftees the last few years... Or the TE room, especially Helm. For me, the one that exemplifies this best is Jahdae Baron. Talk about having a pair, going to Huff Daddy to request #7 & then winning the Thorpe. All these guys only knew a head down, a** up work ethic. Basically saying, "I'm not just going to be a UT letterman; I want to leave my mark." At the end of 2026, we'll know who those are.

Great to meet you! Welcome! 🤘🏼

Impressive! 1000 career wins. Way to go Coach! Longhorn Nation loves & appreciates that you're our head baseball coach. 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽

Thank Jeff! It's hard to rein in a thoroughbred.

Use a VPN & choose a location like Singapore. Those pesky political ads disappear.

Thanks Jeff! It's early, but Mendoza & Riojas seem to be exhibits A&B for the team's off season training & weight room work. Five games is a poor sample size, but I get the feeling that you will be discussing many of the players on the roster in the same light as these two.

You are 100% right about using the WB. I should have said started with Street at the beginning of the season.

Agreed about Street and the wishbone. QB's weren't used the same then as the are now. Duke Carlisle won our first natty in '64. There were a couple who played that season. Bradley was a true DB. He earned All SWC honors that year. Played something like 12 years with the Eagles afterwards. Just to clarify, we tied UH 20-20. I went to the game. Imagine 14-8 yo kids sitting in the bleachers alone while their parents sat in stadium seats today. Lost to tech, and won out. I'm a nerd about that era due to my real awakening to college football and our beloved Longhorns!

Last time we played Tennessee. Happened to be my first Cotton Bowl. I was 9. My seat was in front of Tommy Nobis. He and his buds smoked the biggest cigars I'd ever seen. Had that team started the season in the wishbone, they'd probably have gone undefeated.

Jim Bertelsmann replaced Gilbert. Ted Koy was in the original 1968 wishbone backfield

First wishbone backfield!

Hahaha, that's exactly where I was sitting when I first remember him.
