Clayborn was All American, Pro Bowler, SWC quarter mile track champ. One of our greatest DBs, and stellar KO returner. As an NFL rookie he returned 3 KOs for TDs. One was on national TV and now on YouTube. I'll post it later. Or just reference "Clayborn 101" at YouTube. Watching Jonah play baseball his loose limbed style reminded me of Raymond Clayborn.

I watch all Texas sports. I played baseball and some hoops. I don't like football in general but love Texas football. I have no clue about pro football. So I watch the women play volleyball and basketball. As someone above noted, they do play a legit brand of hoops. The women have had the best true PG on campus. No, i am not saying she could have played on the men's team. I am saying the men could have learned to play better watching her.

Elliot, Ukwuachu, Oakman...the Briles crew that were prosecuted. Carlton Dotson, the Baylor basketball murderer. Then there was our own Arterio Morris. You get my drift.

Big Foreman won the Doak Walker behind a very young OL. He was fast, shifty, strong, and big.

Great story. Thanks for your service.

OTOH, Texas has manged to miss on 3/4 of Westlake's run of QBs.

Upgraded easy games are available. Princeton would be a lot more fun to watch than Fairleigh Dickinson. St. Joseph's would be a better schedule fit than Lafayette. These are more competitive mid majors, teams that have made the NCAA tournament more than once in mylifetime. How about a real challenge here and there, say, Seton Hall over Rider? Running up wins against teams ranked lower than 150 cannot be that worthy of a recommendation come tournament time, but more importantly, those games provide no actual sharpening of the team for conference play. And paying to see them is painful.

Am I alone in remembering B Rob as even better than TC, despite Crowder having been an All American?

Giving us "Moore/Endries" as an entry? Or are they each at +1300? As an entry that would be difficult to turn down.

While many of these rivalries are historic, some are so new as to be unworthy of mention. Not a strange list on the whole, of course. What is being weighed by the reviewer is inconsistent, however. Tradition, or competitiveness, or recency? The top 5 all fill the bill, but putting OU vs. Nebraska at 6 when they don't play each other more than once a decade makes no sense to me. I am sure there is method to the madness if not madness in the method.

I thought the topic headline was Texas Hoops Recruiting Gays. Well, nothing wrong with that but it is probably the smaller group of Division 1 ready players, and how do we know who they are, anyway? So I read the article. Glad Texas is fishing in a bigger pond and I will get my eyes checked.

Nobis was also the best offensive guard in the SWC by far. A few years earlier I had seen the only other SWC lineman who was the best at his position on defense and offense. Like Nobis, Holub was a unanimous All American LB. And he was an astonishingly good offensive Center. I believe that if Nobis had played OG in the NFL he would have been as good as Fuzzy Thurston of the Packers. Holub did get to play OLB at an all AFC level with KC until his knees got banged up and then he became an All AFC Center. Three linemen/LBs I saw live 1960-1965 were outstanding [when I was at Rice and then UT Law].. Nobis, Holub, and Lilly - in that order. Lilly was only best on D, at least against a good Rice team that went to the Sugar Bowl in 1960.

That was one nail biter of a football game. I believe that Texas, USC, and tOSU were simply better than everyone else that year and Texas claimed the Natty by beating the other two by a total of one TD split between the two games. That OL had a fine moment I like to rewatch as much as I love 4th and 5. On the play after VY's TD they went for two, and the Texas OL stormed USC so remarkably that VY ran straight in for two points.

Hawaiian in Ann Arbor winter? See ya in the portal.
